Comic star, actor and singer, Samuel Animashaun Perry, popularly known as Broda Shaggi, has opened up on his decision to almost quit university.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, he recounted how his tertiary education was almost truncated due to an opportunity overseas.

He said: “When I was in year two, I wanted to drop out. There was this theatre troop from Abeokuta. They said they needed dancers in Russia.

“So, I went to Abeokuta and from Abeokuta, we went to Ife.

“We rehearsed, did everything, and were ready for the performance. It was a carnival in Russia.”

When it was time for them to be issued their visa at the embassy, the comic act noted his application was the only successful one out of the 12-man dance group.
