‎"I Was Bored, And I Started Making Skits" - Lizzy Jay Opens Up On Skitmaking Journey

By Oluwarantimi Oludase

Nigerian actress and skitmaker Adeyela Adebola, popularly known as Lizzy Jay, has revealed that making skits was never her original plan.


‎According to her, she never saw skitmaking as her career, as her original plan was to pursue a musical career and become a medical doctor.


‎Speaking in a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, the hilarious actress explained that skitmaking was initially her way of killing boredom, but when one of her skits went viral, and was reposted by several celebrities, she was convinced that it was beyond that, and she needed to continue what she started.


‎She said:
‎"Nothing was on my mind when I started making skits,” she said. “What was on my mind was to do music, go to school, and become a medical doctor. Skit-making was just a way of killing boredom. I was home alone, had my phone, and 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… was reposted by several celebrities, including Omotola Jalade on Instagram.

‎At that point, I just thought I needed to continue what I started.”
