Peller Laments Decline of Skit Comedy, Says Creators Are Going Hungry

Popular Nigerian streamer and content creator, Peller, has shared his candid opinion on the declining profitability of the skit-making industry.

During a recent live session with fans on TikTok, Peller expressed concern over the state of the comedy skit scene, claiming that many skit makers are struggling to make a living from it.

According to him, the once-booming industry is no longer as lucrative, leading many creators to seek alternatives. He noted that a significant number are now shifting their focus to platforms like TikTok in a bid to stay afloat.

He said in part …

“You see any content creator for Instagram wey still dey post skit? E no dey pay. All of them don come TikTok. We are doing live video together, can you see. Hunger is killing everybody. Hunger is killing a lot of Instagram people. When last you see say person post funny Instagram skit…”

His remarks have stirred conversations online, with fans weighing in on the evolving dynamics of content creation in Nigeria’s digital space.
