Speaking on how he found his way into comedy, he confessed that he once gave up when things were hard for him. “I started doing standup comedy while in secondary school. Whenever we were having events, I would perform. But when I left school, things became hard and I felt the comedy industry was too saturated. I then ventured into music and released two songs. But I later saw that more people were into music than comedy.

“Being the firstborn of my parents’ seven children and that my father is late, I had to look for a job to support my mother. When I was working at Dangote Cement as a truck loader, people felt I was funny and encouraged me to record myself. That was how I joined Instagram in 2014,” he said.

He insisted he had become famous on Instagram even before remaking Science Student. He said, “No doubt, Science Student gave me more followers but people began to follow my skits when I started featuring my younger brother, Tope. I started making money from advert placement on my page last year,” he revealed.
