Comedian, Ali Baba, has shared a picture of his rate card from the early and mid 1990s.

The 54-year-old whose real name is Atunyota Akpobome, shared the paper, which shows how much he charged government, organisations and individuals to anchor and co-anchor events, on Instagram on Monday.

“This my rate card that accompanied all letters to corporate bodies back in the early and mid 90s just brought back some memories…,” he captioned the post.

Ali Baba worked as a conductor and a taxi driver before becoming a professional comedian.

The father-of-three revealed this in an interview with Premium Times Newspapers published on March 7, 2018.

He told the paper, “I have been a bus conductor before, from Ramah Park back to Ogbaazu in Delta State. I occasionally used my dad’s Toyota Crown vehicle to convey people to their respective destination as a taxi-driver.

“I had my dad’s Toyota Crown. I will take the car for washing and I would do kabu-kabu (taxi), bribe him by coming with all the newspapers and put on the table.”
