Nigerian content creator, Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, popularly called Kiekie, has recalled how she ventured into skit-making from being a fashion critic.
The ski-maker said she used to critique fashion by infusing comedy, and that got the attention of people in the industry who invited her to start making skits.
Speaking as a panellist during one of the sessions of the Entertainment Week Lagos Kiekie said she despite starting small, she now owns a YouTube channel and produces her own content.
In her words; “I infused the comic side into my content, and that was what gave birth to my fashion shock show. It was a bit of critiquing fashion, but infusing comedy into it. That was one of the things that made the show grow at the time.
“It was a case of wanting to show more and having the right people around me to encourage me to do that. That is why I always tell people that it is very important to surround oneself with the right set of people that will push the right elements out of one; and not with the most irrelevant things.
“People started seeing the comic side in my fashion content, and they began pulling me into skits, saying, ‘This girl is hilarious; come and feature in skits’. One skit turned into five, then 10, till we got to this point. Before I knew what was happening, I had started producing my own content, and opened a YouTube channel.”
