NDLEA ordeal had positive impact on my brand — De General

A skit maker, Joshua Sunday, aka De General, speaks to TOFARATI IGE about his career, his travails with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and other issues

about his career, his travails with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and other issuesI learnt that the seven fundamental human rights we were taught in school were just for teaching’s sake; they don’t apply in reality .Yes, I suffered severe post-traumatic stress syndrome. However, I was able to get over it with the help of my loved ones.In what ways did the incident affect your brand?

It actually had a positive impact on my brand. The Bible says a good man cannot be brought down. After that incident, I became more popular, and I made more money.Many people have real-life stories to tell. I don’t know if I will tell the story myself; or if someone else will do that.For some time, I have been releasing some funny clips. That is in preparation for my series and movies that will be released in 2023. I want my fans to watch out for me in Nollywood.

Many skit makers, including you, have bought expensive cars and properties in recent times; and some people believe that such money could not have come from making skits alone. What is your response to that? I don’t blame people out there who think that most skit makers also make money through illegal means. I had the same mindset when I was still broke. I used to see my senior colleagues with cars and I used to think, ‘Is it not the same thing I’m doing with my phone’? It was not until God ‘blew my whistle’ that I realised that one can make a lot of money from just making skits. Social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube pay creators from Nigeria.
