Nigerian comedian and actor Bright Okpocha, better known as Basketmouth has taken to social media to mark his son, Jason’s 16th birthday today.
He posted a collection of photos capturing moments with his son, including both recent and throwback snapshots.
He suggested that May 9th be recognized as a public holiday in Nigeria to celebrate his son’s birthday. Referring to Jason as his “everything,” he expressed his deep love for him.
In his words: “On this day, 16yrs ago…a king was born. In actual fact, May 9th should be declared a public holiday. Hold on let me talk to the Federal Government. This is totally wrong. Happy Birthday Jason, you’re my everything! Wishing you a happy and memorable birthday. Love you son.”
In response to the post, AY Makun, formerly a rival in the comedy scene, extended birthday wishes to Jason and prayed for God’s guidance in his future endeavors.
He wrote: “Happy birthday, Jason . May God’s grace continue to light your path, guiding you towards a future filled with success and contentment”
