Renowned content creator Nasboi attributes his comedic prowess to the influence of seasoned Nollywood comedians such as Charles Inojie, Francis Odega, and Mr Ibu.
In a recent interview, the 33-year-old comedian disclosed that, apart from gaining insights from his peers, he actively sought advice from established performers who significantly shaped his career. Nasboi expressed gratitude for these older comedians, irrespective of their age.
“I don’t restrict myself to only my age grade. I love veterans a lot because they inspired me. I learnt how to be funny by watching the likes of John Okafor, aka Mr. Ibu; Charles Inojie, and Frank Odega. I learnt some gestures from them, so I will always respect them. I am also friends with some of them,” he stated.
Addressing the impact of social media on his career, Nasboi emphasized its crucial role in propelling him to stardom. He highlighted how simple it is to showcase skills and earn a living online, citing social media as a valuable tool that facilitated the launch of his acting and directing careers.
The content producer underscored the educational and economic benefits of social media, urging budding stars to leverage its potential.
“Social media has helped my career in several ways. I am sure many people would not have known me if not for social media. Going online to showcase myself is easy. All I just need to do is act and make money online.
It is now easy to make money online, as long as one has the talent. Social media helped to kick-start my career in directing, acting, and promoting my content without disturbing everyone. Forget about the negativity it (social media) brings, one can easily learn a lot and make money from it,” Nasboi added.
