Layi Wasabi: A man who understands his onions


Layi Wasabi

Several pundits and social media commentators have dubbed content creator and skit maker, Layi Wasabi as the most intriguing personality on the internet at the moment. Some have described him as hilarious, others say he is creative; all things encompassing, Layi Wasabi understands his onion.

On Wednesday, June 7, the budding Nigerian content creator published a skit that has coerced his audience, both passive and active viewers to introspect. The episode is simple, yet it explains how life can be meaningful in a moment and could suddenly become morose within a twinkle of an eye.

In his usual jocular manner, the episode titled, “If boys could check their adult height“, a certain character (played by Layi himself) did not make it into adulthood after checking his future result because he “went 6 ft under”. Meanwhile, another character (also played by Layi) who was initially skeptical to check his result (what would be his height in the near future) was quick to appreciate what life had given to him.

Perhaps, the play on words, probably his ability to create a skit that is understandable and relatable. In recent times, most skit makers have lost the propensity to make their audience laugh; more-often-than-not, other skit makers elongate their play without a punchline.

In comedy, it is quintessential to know when to hit the nail on the head. At the moment, Layi Wasabi is the skit maker who is making skits worthy of the viewer’s time, data and energy (though, it’s for relaxation).
