Benin based comedian, Osarenkhoe Lawrence, professionally known as MC Casino, has made a startling revelations about his biological mother and his journey to stardom in the entertainment Industry. This is the first time the comedian will be speaking about his mother who has not been in the public.

Recently, in an enlarged show organised by MC Casino, he took his mother to the stage in cynosure of all eyes. The comedian known across the South South, South East and South West of Nigeria, cut his comic teeth around 2008 as a student of University of Benin, UNIBEN.

Fondly called MC Casino, he read Agriculture at UNIBEN (majored in Fisheries), where he graduated in 2010. Now, his rib cracking jokes have endeared him to millions of Nigerians.

In a chat with reporters after the show, the father of Iwinosa said, “I decided to bring my mother on stage for her to see the glory of my hustle. At the beginning, she was not happy with it, as with many parents who wanted their children to become doctors, pharmacist, lawyers or engineers. I brought her to stage to see for herself, how far I have gone in the entertainment world, hosting one of the biggest comedy concerts this year. It was rated one of the biggest shows in Nigeria.”

He continued: “My mother is happy now that I am doing well in the path of career I chose to follow.”

In the words of Maxim Grosky, “Only mothers can think of the future, because they give birth to it in their children.” The comedian said some glorious things about his mother, adding, “Though she wasn’t happy about my line of thought, thinking comedy was for unserious people, her advice and persuasion made me serious in life.”

He informed that though his growing up days were tough, his mum paid some sacrifices that strengthened and brought him to limelight.

“My mum is caring; a counselor, a prayer warrior and a lover of Children. Today, MC Casino has made a name for himself due to hard work,” he enthused.
