Comedian Ali Baba joins LATSMA as traffic control officer

Many people were shocked last week Sunday when they saw popular comedian, Ali Baba in LASTMA uniform directing traffic at the popular Campbell Street on Lagos Island.
Before you say really? Let’s give you the gist.

Ali Baba and other top entertainers were at the spot to shoot a video of JJC’s new single, African Skank and Sunday morning seems to be the only sane daytime the video could be shot without much commotion.
But how does this get Ali Baba into LASTMA’s uniform? The director’s idea of dramatizing Skank is to situate the comedian at a junction in an area as busy and densely populated as Lagos.
Even on the spot, the man who is supposed to be a paramilitary official has started hearing the music, which moves him into shaking his body right and left. By the time the first car approaches, all he can do is to stop it and orders the driver to stay still. He does the same to another coming from another direction and launches into a fervent dance.
Angered by the nightmare, the drivers jump out one after the other, fuming and cursing the traffic controller. By this time, the crowd have joined Ali Baba in the dance, while the Skank spirit also eventually grips the angry motorists.
Playing different role in the video are Weird MC, Kate Henshaw, Goldie and Capital Femi.
Can’t wait for the video to come out.
