Popular skit maker, Marym Apaokagi- Greene aka Taaooma has disclosed that she never planned to end up as a comedian.
Famous for her skits on Instagram and TikTok, Taaooma said she only had interest in video editing but later ended up making humorous skits.
She revealed that she wasn’t social media savvy when she started but eventually found herself entertaining millions of people on social media.
“I didn’t start out to become a comedian, so I wasn’t really looking up to anybody like that, Instagram was not my thing, Facebook was not my thing so I wasn’t in this space or I didn’t know anything about it, I only wanted to learn how to edit. So this comedy just came along the line for me so I didn’t really look up to anybody that much,” said Taaooma.

Lionel Messi made his long-awaited debut with Major League Soccer side Inter Miami with a flourish only the world’s top player could produce.
Playing in the Leagues Cup match against Mexican side Cruz Azul, Messi scored the game-winning goal in the final moments of the second half, curling in a magnificent free-kick strike from outside the box to seal the 2-1 Inter Miami victory at sold-out DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
“What I saw was the goal. I saw the goal, I knew that I had to score,” Messi told the Apple TV broadcast after the game. “It was the last play of the game and I wanted to score so we didn’t go to penalties. So it was very important for us to get this win, because it’s a new tournament this is going to give us confidence moving forward.”
Leagues Cup, an annual tournament between MLS and Liga MX, was expanded this year to include all teams in each league.
Months after winning the World Cup with Argentina, Messi entered the game in the 54th minute, with Inter Miami holding a 1-0 lead.
Cruz Azul equalized in the 65th minute, opening the door for Messi’s game-winning heroics.
After several close encounters, Messi finally broke through in the 94th minute to put a fairytale ending to his debut.

Shehu Sani, a socio-political commentator, has backed Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State on the distribution of palliative.
Sani noted that some state governors might use the funds for palliative to pay contractors, pay backlog of salaries, settle domestic debt, among others.
He urged the President Bola Tinubu’s administration to ensure proper checks on the palliative funds.
Tweeting, Sani wrote: “Without proper check, some states will use palliative funds to pay contractors they are owing or pay the inherited backlog of salaries and pensions or use it to settle their domestic debts with Banks or use it settle political supporters; Soludo is right, all states are not equal.”
On Thursday, Soludo had urged governors to prune down on their use of funds amid the hardship Nigerians are facing following the fuel subsidy removal.
