Popular Nigerian skit maker and singer, Oderhwo Joseph Efe,
also known as Carter Efe, has disclosed that he used to be a tailor before
becoming famous.
The ‘Machala’ singer claimed that comedy, to him, was inborn
He stated that he has always enjoyed art, which led him to
learn tailoring at some point.
Featuring recently on Hip TV programme, Trending, hosted by
reality star, KimOprah, Carter Efe said, “I have been funny right from birth.
I’ve been doing stand-up comedy since I was in school. During break time, I
would just stand in front of the class and start making people laugh.
“I was a tailor before I ventured into skit making. I love
art. For example, I edit my skits by myself. I told my dad one day that I
wanted to learn tailoring. He said what of my education and I insisted that I
want to learn tailoring because I love creativity. I didn’t even spend up to
six months before learning how to sew.
“When I was learning tailoring, sometimes I would lie to my
boss that I was sick and go to shoot a skit. Then I will come back in the
afternoon. He still punished me. He would tell me to kneel. I would kneel till
the end of the day.
“Until one day, Broda Shaggi posted a challenge on Instagram:
he said everybody should vibe to a song. Back then I was in Delta State. I said
let me just vibe to it and I vibed to the song then I came out first. I won
PS5.
“Shaggi said I should come to Lagos to receive my prize. When
I collected the PS5, I sold it for about N300,000. Then I decided to stay back
in Lagos. I was using the N300,000 for transport fares to go to locations to
shoot my skit. I was staying with one of my friends then.”
