Friendite Global Limited’s New Brand Comedian

Derek Khartune was made the Brand Comedian of Friendite Global Limited and Talksfriendite decided to be the first blog site to have a one-on-one chat with him. Cool right?

Good afternoon Derek Khartune, how are you today?

Usual, normal

Usual? Normal? How do you mean?

You know, no extra package, no day to day activity just there.

Oh! So you felt like not doing anything just like Bruno Mars… nice, so please may we know you?

I am Osoko Derek Chigozie Kadi, mainly known by my stage name ‘Derek Khartune‘ a.k.a. King Jonse. I am a Comedian, born on the 16th of October, 1995 and hail from Umueje in Anyamelum Local Government Area of Anambra state. First born son of six children. My dad is late… ehm… what else should I say?

Sorry for your loss bro, nice knowing you though. Anyway, can you feel us in on your childhood?

Well *clears throat* it is hard to say. Let me start from describing my background; I was born at St. Benedicts Hospital, Osogbo in Osun state, Nigeria for those that think I’m white. My dad, Late Mr. Anene Osoko worked at Nigerian Machine Tools, well paid, and my mum was a very big business woman who was into wholesale. We were virtually rich. At the age of 8 I moved to Warri and stayed for four years with my aunt and on my return I preferred the life of the Street. When I say ‘life of the Street’ I don’t mean thuggery, I just respected the system, understood and just knew what’s up. In 2008 we moved down to Anambra state, Awka to be precise, where I fully entered the street because of the kind of person I am. I respect loyalty, and that’s the principle of the street. I graduated from Krosa Secondary School in 2012 and gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University where I earned a Diploma in Law while studying Mass Communication (presently in my 300level).

Amazing. So when did you decide Derek Khartune had a thing for comedy?

It has always been there. My mum was actually the one who begun calling me Cartoon which I later customized to Khartune. She always said everything about me; my acting, mode of talking, was all cartoonish in nature… lol! Back in high school friends called me to anchor their birthday parties which I did for fun. That’s just it.

Do you practice comedy on a professional level?

Yes of course! I do practice comedy on a professional level. Next question please…

Congratulations on your signing into Friendite Global Limited as the new Brand Comedian. Wow! how did it happen and how do you feel about it?

First of all, no be small thing, my head wan bust like this now. It is like something you don’t that will happen just happens. It’s a divine turn around and I give God the glory. Okay, how it happened; I have a friend and church member who is already in the company, he is a blogger and presently the Personal Assistant to the CEO. His name is Khocee Uzochukwu. I anchored our Guy’s Super Sunday in church and after the programme I met him and asked him if there was vacancy at his workplace, owing to the fact that he anchored the Fashion Police segment at the event and flaunted his company. He said yes and asked me to come by 11am the next day. My brother that was it, I went, applied to be a marketer, did my interview and got the job. My first week in the office everyone kept saying how funny I was and the boss, Emmanuel Emeka Okeke decided to make me the brand comedian. Before I knew what was happening I was given a contract to sign and I can tell you this, I didn’t think twice. It has always been my dream to be a comedian but I never knew the dream would be live so soon. Na so the tori be…

That is good in deed. Has Derek Khartune done anything special as the Brand Comedian since induction?

Yeah! I have done a lot of comedy skits which are currently on our Youtube channel, Frienditetv. Also I was the Host of our first event of the year 2015, FRIENDITE VIRGINITY NIGHT which was a huge success. The company’s Talent Manager, Adigo Melody co-hosted with me and we sure did blend like tomato inside electric blender. I still have a lot of projects lined up but will let you all know when they are ready.

Thanks for that Mr Osoko Derek Khartune… let’s deviate a little; please what are your hobbies?

You see I am finding that very difficult because I don’t know the things I especially like doing. Hmm… I enjoy rapping even when I know my words are senseless, writing, acting, talking most especially, watching movies and listening to music.

Okay. Derek Khartune are you in a relationship?

*sighs while stretching* is that question really necessary?

Yes, it is. I am sure every hot lady out there wants to know.

Well, for the hot ladies, one of you broke my heart. so I’m not in any relationship right now, I am single and cool.

Single! Cool! Get ready for so many ladies wooing you oh! That aside, where do you see yourself in the next two years?

In two years… in two years… guy are you serious? In two years I see myself wearing the shoes of the likes of Basketmouth, Bovi, Buchi and other celebrated comic heroes. A household name, In Jesus name… I mean by God’s grace.

That’s nice. I pray you get there. Thank you very much for joining us today Derek Khartune. It is surely a great pleasure having you with us in Friendite Global Limited.

No sweat man… I like this una office, the AC no be here. Thank you Talksfriendite for having me.

*laughing hysterically* You don start. Thanks once again.

So you all should look forward to great things from Derek Khartune a.k.a King Jonse. To watch the rest of his skits go to our Youtube channel and have the laugh of your life. Ciao!!!
