Nigerian skit maker cum Nollywood actress, Lizzy Jay, has opened up about her early career aspirations.
Naija News reports that the skit maker, in an interview on Nollywood On Radio, said she initially dreamed of becoming a singer and medical doctor before finding success in skit-making.
Lizzy Jay explained that her journey into skit-making began out of sheer boredom while staying home alone.
She added that her perspective changed when one of her skits gained unexpected attention and was widely shared by several celebrities, including Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde.
She said, “Nothing was on my mind when I started making skit; what was on my mind was to do music, go to school, and become a medical doctor.
“So skit making was a way of killing boredom. I was home alone, had my phone and I needed to do something.
“It wasn’t like I planned or saw people doing skits and thought to copy. I was just bored, and I started making a skit.
“I knew my skit was beyond just a boredom killer after one of my skits, which I posted on my page on Facebook, was reposted by several celebrities including Omotola Jolade on Instagram. So, at the point I just thought I need to continue what I started,” she said.
Lizzy first gained recognition as a skit maker before transitioning into acting. She has appeared in several Nollywood films, including ‘Dear Affy,’ ‘Dubara,’ and ‘The Order of Things. ’
