Content creator Nasboi has credited his ability to create comedy to the influence of seasoned Nollywood comedians like Charles Inojie, Francis Odega, and Mr Ibu.
In a recent interview, the 33-year-old comedian shared that he not only learned from his peers but also sought advice from established performers who had a significant impact on his career.
Nasboi expressed his gratitude for the older comedians, regardless of their age.
“I don’t restrict myself to only my age grade. I admire 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 said.
Discussing the impact of social media on his career, Nasboi emphasized its role in propelling him to stardom.
He highlighted how easy it is to showcase talent and make a living online, citing social media as a valuable tool for launching his acting and directing careers.
The content producer stressed the educational and economic benefits of social media as reasons why aspiring stars should utilize it.
“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.
