Well-known stand-up comedian from Nigeria, Bovi Ugboma, has disclosed that he rejoices every time a divorce occurs.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Moraya Show, Bovi clarified that he feels that at least one of the spouses was going through challenging times in the marriage, which is why he welcomes divorces.
He claims that at least one of the parties feels relieved when such a marriage ends.
The comedian emphasised that divorce is preferable to unhealthy marriages.
“I celebrate when people get divorced because I feel it means one or both people were not breathing well in the marriage. I will not suffer anybody neither will I want anybody to suffer me,” he said.
Bovi added, “That is not to say my marriage has been easy for 17 years. It has not. I got married at 29. I have been providing for 17 years nonstop.”

In September 2025, comedian Bovi revealed the reasons behind his breakup with Basketmouth.
According to reports, the two well-known comedians used to work together on stage before their interests shifted.
However, Bovi ascribed the growth to his sense of financial freedom when he talked about his relationship with Basketmouth in a social media interview that went viral.
Although Bovi acknowledged that he was no longer able to share funds with his coworkers following the cooperation, he said that the move had given him the chance to advance financially.
“Basketmouth and I are cool. Nothing happened. Interests changed. I wanted to focus more and spend more time with my family, and also to elevate myself.
“I easily get bored doing something for too long, so I try something else. As you know, I went back to TV because I wanted to build my own brand. When I host shows at Eko Hotels, it fills up. So, why should I go and share money? Why should we be many doing one show?” he asked.
