Short comedy videos began to gain prominence in Nigeria in 2015 and this was long before the social media boom. Six years later, skit making has grown into a full fledged industry of its own
Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES at the premiere of Aki and Pawpaw in Lekki Lagos over the weekend, he said: “The skit industry is very big, the government and investors should open their eyes to it, now that it is still very young. Josh2Funny, who is popular for making the #DontLeaveMeChallenge in 2020, said : “Because people did not see Nollywood coming this far, it started like a joke, but see where they are now. The future is very bright and the Nigerian skit industry is still growing.”On November 4, a delegation of Nigerian skit makers led by a former lawmaker, Bimbo Daramola, under the aegis of the Nigeria Skits Industry Awards , paid Vice President Yemi Osinbajo a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Josh2Funny, who also made the trip, explained that he and his colleagues were grossly misunderstood while their visit was misinterpreted.” I just wanted to take my industry to another level, na my industry, na where I dey chop from, and many people see it as a joke, but we put in work, week in, week out, we are out there sitting in the sun, trying to put something out there to make you laugh.
From very popular Mark Angel Comedy and Emmanuella, to eternal job seeker Frank Donga, multiple personality Maraji, troublesome barrister MC Lively, chronic ranter Lasisi Elenu, ever angry mother and daughter combo Taaooma and the ambitious Alhaji Nedu, there are now hundreds of popular names and faces making it big.
