The first time I watched Broda Shaggi's skit, it was like,
Who is this?
What is this?
Then another one and another one.

Then I got hooked.
Can I shock you?
Shaggis series started this January and he's already advertising for corporate bodies. He has 371k followers on Insta.
We have people like Lasisi Elenu doing wonders, making name and money for himself with 700k followers.
There's Dat Warri Girl (81k followers), Ogbeni Adan (187k followers), Omo Ibadan (314k followers) and many more like this I can't mention.
There are various dancing groups and individual accounts doing great things for themselves on social media.
I saw a guy on youtube playing bass guitar, Bassmatic. Awesome!
I saw a guy on twitter who remixed Davido's Assurance. Great talent!
I can't imagine whether all these talents would've made it to limelight if not for social media.
Social media, making non entities celebrities!
God bless people like Mark Shugarbag Zuckerberg for inventing Social media.
Social media is where anybody can become somebody cheaply in a short time and with more knowledge and dedication, an international star.
The lady that started FIN, Lola Omolola got an invite from Mark Zuckerberg for her effort to set up the group for an amazing record of over 1 million members and impact.
Now to you reading this.
You can dance like Kilode at home, your shaku shaku no be here,
Sings like Kenery in the bathroom,
Inspires people with you words in the fellowship,
Sketches and draws like Michael Angelo,
When you writes, people get goosebumps,
You can catwalk for Africa,
Play a particular musical instrument with finnesse,
You can preach and the dead will sniff back to life,
You can teach mathematics like computer,
You have beautiful body and face and you're selling clothes,
Your acting gift is one of a kind,
You funny die,
...and nobody knows you exist and you're dying in the corner of your world.
For how long?
Why?
What are you afraid of?
What people would say?
Ah!
Please care less about what they would say, they've been talking and they will continue to talk, rather care more about what would happen if you didn't manifest.
Or is it money?
With N20,000 ($80) android phone or even your uncle's phone you can make a difference in the world and for yourself.
Trust me!
Please take advantage of what is going on around you and launch yourself into limelight.
No matter what you know, you can project it to a larger number of people on social media and become known, influential and make money.
