Top Nigerian comedian and actor Bright Okpocha better known as Basketmouth is one entertainer who has made the country proud.

He was recently honoured by top social networking site, Facebook, with a tree planted in his name in a forest in UK. The tree was planted to remember the time he spent at Soho Farmhouse.
