“Don’t blame Trevoh Noah, blame your politicians” What Nigerians are saying about the comedian’s “pizza’ joke

South African comedian, Trevor Noah has received some backlashes from Nigerians after he made a joke about Nigerians that import pizza from the UK.

Noah in his recent show mocked Nigerians who import pizza from London, which was brought to light by a Nigerian minister.

The comedian queries why rich Nigerians will fly past Italy(Home of pizza) to order pizza from London.

This was in reaction to a statement by Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh who revealed while defending his ministry’s budget at the senate a few weeks ago — Ogbeh had said that  there are some Nigerians who order pizza from London in the morning then pick it up in the evening via British Airways.
