7-year-old Kiriku narrates how he combine his education with skit making
Enorense Victory, the child comedian better known as Kiriku, says skit-making is not affecting his education.
The seven-year-old entertainer gained prominence in 2021 when Tunde Ednut posted one of his skits on his Instagram handle.
In a chat with newsmen, the content creator said his foray into comedy at an early age is not a distraction.
“Education, going to school is important to me. I don’t just want to be popular, I also want to be seen as an educated person. This will make other children like me know that you can be talented and still be educated,” he said.
“Education is important too. When it’s time for my skits, I give it full focus. When it’s time to go to school too, I give it attention too. Thanks to my parents who instilled discipline in me. Skit making is not affecting my education”.
Kiriku said social media has been instrumental to his rise. He also said he is always happy to make people laugh.
“Social media has changed my life. Even people I have never met before wave to me. I am happy to be making people laugh and making them forget their troubles,” he said.
Kiriku, who hails from Benin in Edo state, is popular for his signature phrase ‘Abeg Shift’ in skits.
He has collaborated with top skit makers including Oga Sabinus, Broda Shaggi, Adeyemi Elesho, Sir Balo, and Cute Abiola.
Relishing his experience working with bigwigs in the comic industry, he said: “I thank God for the opportunity. I see them all as my uncles and they encourage me to stay consistent. I am happy to have been able to work with them”.

Celebrities and influencers alike have never been strangers to seeking the face of God through powerful spiritual leaders and talking about his goodness in their lives publicly.
The latest of the stars that have shared her experience with a spiritual leader is the popular influencer, Nkechi Blessing.

“The first time I had an encounter with Odumeje I was shocked to my bone marrow. The man will tell you everything about your life. He’s not just telling you, he’s giving you the solution,” Blessing said. “It is not normal things that are on the internet. He is a true man of God. I am saying it here categorically.”
When Uriel asked if he could heal people, Blessing said, “One hundred percent.”
When Uriel asked further why Odumeje has gotten a bad reputation on the internet as a fake pastor, Blessing said it has to do with the fact that he doesn’t speak English well.
“Because of the fact that he does not know how to communicate well in good English does not make him a fake pastor,” she said.

Williams Uchemba quits public gym to focus on Heaven
Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Williams Uchemba, has expressed his concerns about women who dress provocatively at the gym.
He recently announced that he has stopped attending public gyms due to the temptation caused by such attire, as he aims to avoid distractions and focus on his spiritual journey.
In response to the issue, Uchemba has taken the initiative to establish a gym at home to maintain his fitness routine without encountering these distractions.
The Nollywood actor is publicly appealing to women attending gyms to dress modestly, emphasizing that the increasing trend of indecent dressing in such settings is troubling.
Taking to his social media platform, Uchemba addressed the matter directly, urging women to reconsider their attire choices for the sake of male gym-goers’ focus and spiritual well-being.
“Ladies, should all the men stop coming to the gym? Because your indecent dressing is getting out of hand. It’s becoming appalling. I’m tired,” he expressed.
“Please, try and dress decently to the gym. Some men are determined to make heaven, please don’t distract us. Every time one comes to the gym, he is forced to see what he didn’t intend to see.”
Uchemba humorously lamented the situation, indicating that he has taken the drastic step of setting up a gym at home to avoid the temptation altogether. He emphasized his commitment to maintaining a focused and spiritually-aligned lifestyle, even if it meant sacrificing the convenience of a public gym.
“You ladies have made up your mind to prevent Nigerian men from going to heaven but it won’t work because I’ve left the gym. I’ve set up a gym in my house because I cannot cope. I want to make heaven,” he concluded.
