Stand-up comedian, Ali Baba, has shared a revealing account of witnessing infidelity involving the wives of powerful men during his visits to the homes of prominent figures.
Speaking on the Outside the Box podcast, Ali Baba described how these influential individuals would openly engage in extramarital affairs, even going so far as to instruct their mistresses to return inside while they were still engaged in the affair.
He highlighted the stark contrast between the secretive nature of these actions and the public façade of perfect relationships these men maintained.
Ali Baba recalled, “I’ve been in the houses of a lot of big, big men, Governors and the rest of them. And I see wives of a lot of people that I know coming to do things, and I would greet, ‘How are you? How is everything?’”
The comedian went on to explain that these powerful men would carry on with their philandering, casually instructing their mistresses to return inside. “And then those guys would do their philandering and tap her bum ‘come on go back inside I’m not finished with you’ and then she goes back inside,” he said.
Ali Baba continued to describe the awkwardness that would arise when he would meet these women in public. He recounted how, at social events in Lagos, he would encounter the wife of one of these men and be introduced to her by her husband, who was unaware of the infidelity. “And then I run into her at an event in Lagos and the husband is saying ‘oh how are you, meet my wife’, I say ‘oh madam it’s a pleasure, I’ve not seen you in nearly five years, where have you been?’ and she’s like ‘I’ve been around, good to see you’ and then we’ll continue.”
Ali Baba added, “And maybe she sees me somewhere again, she calls me and says ‘Ali thanks’, I say ‘it’s okay’.” His revelation sheds light on the often-hidden dynamics of infidelity among the powerful elite and the complex relationships that unfold behind closed doors.
