Popular skit maker, Chukwuebuka Emmanuel Amuzie, widely known as Brain Jotter, recently shared his experiences as a struggling undergraduate at the University of Lagos before achieving fame.

He also worked at a laundry where he earned a monthly salary of N15,000.
Speaking on Hip TV programme, Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah, Brain Jotter said, “2020, my salary was N15,000. In 2021, my salary was N30,000. In 2020, I was working in a laundry. I had just gained admission into the University of Lagos.
“Apart from working in a laundry, I was also doing other stuff. In my school, I was selling bedbug killer. In my first year, I sold doughnuts in my class. In year two, I sold bedbug killer. And year three, I drove to school.
“Ever since my video went viral till now, I can’t just stay five days straight without working. I’ve been restless since hitting stardom, probably except I’m not in Lagos. But even if I’m not in Lagos, I’m still thinking of ideas for content.
”My dream then was to rent a one-room apartment and become a taxi driver’.
