Neekah on why she left nursing for comedy

 “ Why I Left Nursing for Comedy, and Why I Don't Use My Real Face”.  -  NEEKAH


NEEKAH: I studied Nursing at the Delta State School of Nursing, Agbor. I was just a regular girl, who worked as a nurse. After nursing school, I worked for a year in a private hospital in Delta State before I travelled to Abuja and started seeking for another job. I went to several hospitals, and I wrote some tests online, but I didn't even get any feedback. I then started making beads and doing other things to make ends meet.


At first, my dad wasn't really happy with it because he spent a lot of money training me in school, especially through nursing school. So after I told him that I wanted to relocate to Abuja and get another job, he accepted. But, after a few failures in getting a job, I started my business, which he was aware of though he wasn't happy about it.


I started creating content because of my business. I produced and sold beaded bags, and I wanted more customers, so I thought of creating content, by way of making funny videos, and consequently attracting people to my page. When I started, people started patronizing me.


I am a very shy person, and that is the major reason I use that face.

Also, I feel that I don't really have a funny face. I don't look like what my image is online. So, I wanted something funny. I was scrolling through Instagram looking for various funny filters until I saw the particular one I now use. If I was using my real face, I wouldn't be free to do what I'm doing.

 'Diddy Oil':50 Cent trolls Diddy with fake baby oil product Rapper, 50 Cent is once again throwing shade at rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs after his arrest and the recent revelations about his "Freak Off" parties. 50 Cent has clarified that he never attended a Diddy party, claiming they only shared a professional relationship and were never friends. After Diddy's arrest last Monday, his indictment was unsealed the next day, revealing that authorities discovered 1,000 bottles of baby oil at his residence during a raid in March of this year. The oils were allegedly part of the sexual items Diddy used to organize his "Freak Offs," which have been described as drug-induced orgies that he directed and produced, involving both female victims and male prostitutes.

Against the odds 2pac

 "Against All Odds" is a song by 2Pac (under the name Makaveli), released as the 12th and final track from his album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (1996). It samples Cameo's "Skin I'm In". A prominent track that revealed the West-East coast rivalry at the time, 2Pac takes shots at several people, including Dr. Dre, Mobb Deep, Puff Daddy, Jimmy Henchman, Stretch, and Nas. Producer Hurt-M-Badd recalled that 2Pac asked for "a war song," and an hour later upon hearing the beat, requested the bassline from Cameo's "Skin I'm In". 2Pac brought the Outlawz in to the studio and created the hook. Hurt-M-Badd added, "While 'Pac was doing his vocals he wasn't just recording his vocals, he was also kicking over the music stand, hitting the microphone. There was a vibe in the room. We all knew what was goin' on." Nas told XXL, "2Pac just came at me only one time, on a song called 'Against All Odds.' I...
