 In Nigeria, a tension soaked clime where anger and frustration seem to have enveloped many, the business of comedy which was hitherto taken for granted has begin to blossom, making celebrities out of many and  serving as means of livelihood for others.
In the past, event planners either cared less about comedy or had no business with it in their programme’s schedules. For those that dared give it a thought, it was either last in the order of priorities or entirely excluded.
Fascinatingly, the trend has changed. You either give a pride of place to comedy or risk a flopped event. With this unprecedented regard for comedy, rib-crackers have suddenly turned celebrities, becoming brand ambassadors, thereby living large, even larger than most movie and music stars.

100 #FUNNY HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR YOUR FRIENDS:::


 100 #FUNNY HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR YOUR FRIENDS:::



    Another year for your back means another year that won’t suck.
    Another year older, none the wiser.
    Another year, another new place that aches.
    At least you’re not as old as you will be next year! Happy Birthday!
    Better to be over the ground than under it. Happy Birthday!
    Better to be over the hill than buried under it.
    Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest.
    Birthdays are like boogers. The more you have the harder it is to breathe!
    Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake.
    Can you snuff all these candles or should I call the fire department?
    In the bathroom? In the toilet? On your desk? The fireplace? At 40, it is still a great achievement, to remember where the car keys were last! All the best!
    Is it getting hotter in here or is it just all the candles on your cake?
    It has been scientifically proven that too many birthdays will kill you.
    It is older but not better! Happy Birthday!
    It must have been Napoleon in command since you were separated from your mother.
    It’s nice to be young, healthy and full of energy. Can you remember?!
    It’s proven that at the age 41 you start to lose your memory. We can only hope!
    It's ok to light the candles on your birthday cake now; I've already alerted the fire department.
    Jack Benny said, "Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." But in your case, I think it matters, it matters a LOT!
    Just imagine the things you’d want to hear on your birthday and assume I said them. Happy B-Day
    Last week the candle factory burned down. Everyone just stood around and sang, ‘Happy Birthday’
    Like many women my age, I am 28 years old.
    Looking fifty is great – if you’re sixty.
    May you live as long as you want to, and want to as long as you live.
    May you live to be old and toothless.
    Men age like wine, women age like cheese.
    My birthday gift to you is the call to the fire department when you blow out your candles. You're welcome!
    My friend got me a fossil. It reminded me of someone who has a birthday today. Three guesses who!
    No wise man ever wished to be younger.
    Old enough to know better…Young enough to still do it.
    On your birthday some words of wisdom: Smile while you still have teeth! Congratulations!
    One more year of existence down the drain. Happy Birthday!
    People say that the good die young, so I guess that’s make you an old bad ass!
    Pope John XXIII thought that men are like wine. Some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age. And I'm sitting here, trying to figure out whether you want vanilla or strawberry in your ice-cream. Happy 50th Birthday!
    Recently I found out in which sport you would have been best at. Guess what? It’s the reason so many people came to your place.
    Remember when 50 seemed old? If you weren't so old you would!
    Smile and laugh as much as you can while you still have teeth.
    Smile, it could be worse…think about what you’ll look like in ten years. Happy Birthday.
    So far, this is the oldest I have ever been.
    So many candles such a small cake. Next year, may your birthday wish be a bigger cake.
    So many candles… so little cake.
    Some say the glass is half empty. Others say the glass is half full. It's your birthday, so just drink whatever is in the glass.
    Some words of wisdom for your birthday, "Smile while you still have teeth!"
    Someone once said that a true friend remembers your birthday, but not your age. I remember both. Shouldn't that account for something?
    Stop counting the candles and start thinking about your wishes.
    The best birthdays of all are those that haven’t arrived yet.
    The first mark of ageing appears when you start forgetting things. In your case there are no such problems. You have transcended all the hassles.
    The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.
    The only reason you hate your birthday is because people give you odd gifts, scary cards with weird messages in them, and because you're getting older. Happy Birthday!
    The usefulness of life lies not in its length, but in its application. Some counts many years and yet has only lived a short time! All the best!
    The younger you try to look; the older you actually are.
    There are lots of good people in the world. One of them would like to wish you a happy birthday.
    There were a lot of famous people born on your birthday. Too bad you aren't one.
    They say that with age comes wisdom. You must be one of the wisest.
    Time and Tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of thirty.
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician. True that!
    To the nation's best kept secret; Your true age.
    Usually people at your age freak out when they hear their selves called an old man. Right …old man?
    We know that wisdom comes with age. You see, you don’t have all the signs of aging! Happy Birthday!
    We know we're getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it.
    What goes up but never comes down? Your age.
    What? You don't agree? That's strange. You're the perfect example.
    When I die, I want it to be on my 100th birthday, in my beach house on Maui and I want my husband to be so upset that he has to drop out of college.
    When I have a birthday I take the day off. But when my wife has a birthday, she takes a year or two off.
    When I was born I was so surprised I didn’t talk for a year and a half.
    Wishing you many more candles and a cake big enough to fit them all on.
    With age comes wisdom. (You're one of the wisest people I know!)
    With age comes wisdom. You’re one of the wisest people I know.
    You age like cheese… You just keep getting smellier!
    You always have such fun birthdays; you should have one every year.
    You are as old as you look.
    You are going to need the lungs of Hercules to blow all these candles by yourself.
    You are only as old as you act.
    You are only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime.
    You get a lot of birthday wishes … But this is here for the love!
    You have reached the age where all compliments will be followed by "for your age."
    You have to really be something special! Today, 3,276,821 people have birthday, but I was only thinking of you!
    You know you are getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
    You know you're getting old when you walk up the stairs and call it exercise. Happy Birthday!
    You may not be over the hill yet, but you have a great view!

NOTE: BIRTHDAY IS SOMETHING THAT HAS COME TO STAY AS FAR AS HUMANITY, LOVE, GOOD HEALTH, GOD, LIFE, MONEY AND A BRIGHT DAY IS CONCERN
