It is safe to agree that Nigerian politicians were the kings of comedy until Donald Trump entered the game in 2017. And suddenly, we had competition.
So in this episode of #JustImagine, we decided to take a break from superheroes and Disney princesses and explore politics.

TVC Reporter: What about bad roads sir?
STV Reporter: There is also the problem of flood and limited access to drinking water.
OGTV Reporter: We are also dealing with bad electricity!
The crowd goes into a frenzy. Trump smiles and raises his hand to silence them.
Trump: That’s why I brought a gift for everybody. Christmas gift.
Trump’s aid pulls out a bunch of wrapped gifts and hands it out to the people. Everyone starts to open them. A young man in the audience, Kola, shouts and raises a hand-woven fan.
Kola: What is this???
Trump: When you people don’t have light, you can be using it to fan yourself.
A woman, Moria, speaks up.
Moria: I got a mop.

Trump: I have said everybody that wants to see me should do 5 laps round the house first.
Aide: He did 2 and a half and collapsed sir.
Trump: Why?
Aide: He was wearing high heels, sir.
Adams Oshiomole’s shameless ass outside: Moku ooo!
Trump: What about Fayose?
Aide: Fayose has done 3 laps but he is shouting for Glucose.
Fayose that didn’t eat morning food: Where is the glucose?
Suddenly, the sounds of gunshots are heard outside. Another aide runs inside.
Aide 2: Sir, we have to go. Iran has opened fire on us!
Trump:
The shooting continues and Trump runs to his chopper.
