Nigerian content creator and singer, Michael Nasiru Bolaji, popularly known as Nasboi, has confessed that social media influencing and skitmaking is very lucrative.
The skit maker said this during a recent interview on Bahd And Boujee Podcast that was co-hosted by reality tv star, Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe.
He said that because of how well paid skitmakers are, he once thought that Sydney Talker was an internet fraudster.
However, Nasboi said that it was after he joined the industry he realised how lucrative it was.
He said many people still accuse skit makers of doing fraud and other illegal activities because they don’t know how lucrative the industry is.
According to him, he said, “Before I became a skit maker, I could beat my chest that Sydney was a Yahoo boy [internet fraudster]. Because I didn’t know how lucrative the creative industry was until I joined.
A lot of female influencers and skit makers are also being trolled. Social media users often accuse them of sleeping with men for money but they don’t know these female influencers make a lot of money from endorsements and advertisements.
“Yahoo [internet scam] is stressful. It’s not even as lucrative as skit making. There are some skit makers who are not popular but earning huge amounts of money. I know someone who made $33,000 off a video on Facebook. He is not even popular.”
