Popular Nigerian comedian and content creator, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, better known as Sabinus, has captured public admiration after unveiling a completed road construction project he personally funded in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
In a video shared on his social media pages, the skit maker proudly displayed the transformation of a once-dilapidated road at First Mechanic, Alakahia, along the East–West Road.
The footage revealed a stark contrast between the road’s previous poor condition — riddled with potholes and nearly impassable — and its now smooth, freshly paved surface.
According to Sabinus, the project was his way of contributing to his community’s development. He described the initiative as part of his responsibility to “give back” and improve the daily lives of residents and motorists who rely on the road.
His remarks were accompanied by visible excitement as he showed both the “before” and “after” clips.

The comedian’s decision to self-fund such a significant infrastructure improvement has been met with widespread commendation, especially at a time when residents in many parts of Nigeria grapple with poor road networks.
Social media users flooded his comment section with messages of appreciation, lauding him for setting an example that goes beyond comedy and entertainment.

This latest update follows an earlier viral video from the start of the month, which showed Sabinus actively participating in the project.
In that footage, he was seen alongside a team of workers and heavy machinery, grading the road, filling potholes, and overseeing repair works. At one point, he engaged in a discussion with a presumed site engineer, that underscored his hands-on involvement.
The Port Harcourt-born entertainer’s gesture has further cemented his reputation not just as one of Nigeria’s most successful comedians, but also as a hometown hero committed to uplifting his community. As the video continues to trend, many are calling for more influential personalities to take similar steps in addressing local challenges.
