How did you discover that you are good at making people laugh?

Emmanuella: I knew i could do comedy when i realized that i could make laugh people laugh especially my classmates.

How did you start posting your comedy skits on social medias?

Emmanuella: My uncle started uploading our skits on social media in 2014, that should be about 2 years ago. I am one of the kids under the Mark Angel comedy corporation but i am the star kid right now. There are other kids in the company but i was told that i have more public appeal and the other kids are not that mature. We began posting comedy skits online because it was cheaper and we needed a voice.

How about your school?

Emmanuella: After the holiday, i will be in basic 2.

How have you been coping with fame and school?

Emmanuella: They don’t clash. I am still a kid i am happy that my uncle is not treating me like an adult but a kid that i am. I think things can only go wrong when they start treating me like an adult because i cannot become one overnight. Nothing has really changed about me since i became popular. The only difference is that most weekends, i am not usually at home because there are several events i have to attend. When i am home, i live my normal life and am not treated like a celebrity except occasionally when some people in my area see me and tell me they love my videos.

I don’t have any issue with being popular. It does not affect my school that much.

During this holiday, i have started shooting for the next season, so when i resume school, i will just begin to release my videos. By doing this, it does not clash with my school work. It is only when i have an emergency shoot that i can be permitted to shoot when school resumes and it is usually on Fridays.
