WHEN PEOPLE RIGHT YOU OFF, GET RIGHT IN...-ali baba

The comedian shared a few minutes ago on his
instagram page. Read below:
In life,there are many reasons some people will
hate you. There are many reasons some will run
you down. Some will say all sorts to make
themselves feel important. Or get out of a tight
corner. Some do it just to be happy. The people
that you should beware of are those who say
things and in spite of how wrong what they said
are, still try to tell you they did not mean it. Or
didn't mean what they said "that way". There are
those who make you feel comfortable and just
when you are settling into the besto zone, stab
you in the back. I have heard all sorts in my
short life time. One time, an event planner
wanted me to be Mc of an event and wanted to
get a female co-mc, so I suggested 2 names.
One of the ladies I suggested, told the lady she
should get another Mc that she could work with.
Why? The event pLanner asked. Ali is old, get a
younger Mc. As fate would have it I still worked
with her.
During the event, as I wrote notes for her, to
introduce several segments of the show and how
to bring on different dignitaries, the event
planner will come backstage and smile. She
came in backstage once, while my co-mc was on
stage, using an intro I gave her and said, "Ali you
are rare. Someone just commented on how
awesome the introduction ********* (co-mc's
name) gave the last speaker was. I nearly told
him you wrote it. Especially after what she said
when I was trying to book her." Not necessary, I
replied. When people write you off, get right in.
Some two years ago, someone said Ali Baba's
time has passed, I did a straight 6 hours of stand
up comedy. All of my original stuff. Many of the
comedians who were at the show, have since
boosted their jokes arsenal with some of the
materials used in that epic performance. And
since that 6 hours, many comedians have
received free jokes as often as we meet. My
producer @officialbunmidavies told me jokingly
that if the 6hr video is made public, many people
will see the source of some great jokes. But as
Zakilooooo will say Judas no stop Jesus. It's
allowed. People who don't see you in economy
class are unaware you are lounging in First
class... Even when you are on the same flight.
