Nigerian ace Comedian, Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth recently took to social media to comment on the devastating wildfire being witnessed in California, USA.

More than 650 wildfires, many sparked by lightning, have burned more than 1.25 million acres in the Golden State since August 15. That’s more than six times the size of New York City.

The fires have left seven people dead and more than 1,400 buildings destroyed, Cal Fire said.
