Nigerian content creator, Adesokan Emmanuel popularly known as Shank Comics, has said that he is his biggest critic and competitor.
The skit-maker made this remark during an interview while talking about what makes him unique in the content creation industry.
Shank said though his comedy videos are different from that of his colleagues, he still strives to create contents that are better than his previous ones.
He said; “I am different. I make completely abstract comedy sketches. From my name, my videos are like comics. In recent times, my YouTube videos have differentiated me from others. The videos are real, unscripted and spontaneous.
“I believe that all my videos are good. I try to be better than my previous posts. I am very hard on myself. I would rather not make a post than to do something that does not meet my standard. I am actually competing against myself.”
Furthermore, Shank revealed that he never planned to venture into content creation even though he has always been a funny person from school.
He said; “Right from when I was in school, I was funny. But, I did not know that I could take it up as a career till I graduated from the university, observed the National Youth Service Corps scheme, and had no job. I had to make ends meet, so I started making videos.
I give the glory to God for where I am today. It has not been easy, but I am grateful. I just knew I would be rich and famous, but I did not know how. At some point, I thought I was going to become an engineer, but the joke was on me.”
