8-Year-Old Skit Maker Bought Car For His Father
Kiriku, who is known for his popular slang, ‘Abeg shift’, said, “His car was no longer good, and we decided to buy a new one for him. We did that because the old car was giving him issues. Me and my uncle decided that immediately we started making money, we would get him (my dad) a car.”
Recounting how he developed an interest in comedy, Kiriku noted that he used to watch a lot of videos of child skit makers adding that the likes of Emmanuella, inspired him a lot.
“I became more interested when I started following people to locations to shoot skits. That was how I started,” he said.
The child comedian also explained how he overcame the difficulty of memorizing his lines when he started making skits at the age of four.
He said: “I couldn’t master my lines at once when I started out at the age of four. However, my uncle later taught me how to take my lines one after the other. I am better at it now, though.”
Kiriku stated that he got a lot of support from celebrities, particularly from former singer and blogger, Tunde Ednut.
