Lifestyle
Lasisi Elenu, who earned a degree in agriculture, decided to seek a career in the entertainment sector rather than continue in his field. However, his career as an online comic began after some time. Under the moniker “Nature,” he once had somewhat of a musical career; Lasisi even put out a song titled “What’s the Matter?” However, the music business was not where he was progressing. His skits, as a result, started to emerge.
Lasisi Elenu had a smaller fan base at first. Instead, those who witnessed him act and his friends and neighbours urged him to keep going. So, in 2017, he created a profile on Instagram using the alias “Lasisi Elenu.” His most popular video was a pothole rage in which he mockingly bemoaned how wealthy people drive around in potholes. His Instagram following increased from 200 to 10,000 in just a few days due to this single skit.
Since then, the number of his supporters has dramatically increased. With the handle @lasisielenu, Lasisi Elenu has more than 1.2 million followers on Twitter, 3.7 million on Instagram, and 1.1 million on Facebook. On TikTok, he has over 75,000 fans.
Lasisi Elenu is one of the most sought-after social media influencers, thanks to his following enormous audience. Access Bank Plc, Western Lotto, Ciro Entertainment, Squeeze Records, Frost Water, Chronicles of Hush Baby, AmalaArena, #HAAROSA 4.0, and other prestigious companies are just a few of the brands he has worked on for brand ads.
Lasisi Elenu’s career keeps advancing. He once claimed he wouldn’t have been able to attend some of the notable occasions he has been privileged to be in attendance if not for his craft. He also served as the moderator at “The Business Mixer – The Business of Blogging,” a business summit sponsored by the British Council and organized by ConnectNigeria. He appeared on MTV Base in March 2018.
He was a nominee for The Future Awards Africa Prize for Comedy in 2018. In addition, he was recognized as one of Nigeria’s Top 25 Under-30 Nigerian Superstars and one of the recipients of the second Trendupp Awards in March 2020.
In addition to his Lasisi persona, he has recently added other personas to his comedic skits, such as that of a family, a student, and a lawyer. But in July 2020, when Elenu received a warning from members of the Nigerian Bar Association who believed his jokes were misrepresenting the legal profession and threatened to sue him, controversy broke out. Many supported his character’s portrayal, while others said he degraded the professionals.
His satires cover various subjects, including legislation, cybercrime, economics, insecurity, and philosophy. In recent years, he has also dabbled in stand-up comedy, appearing on shows and events like AY Live and even performing at the Mama Tobi Homecoming concert. The 16-minute episodes of his most recent comedy series, Mama & Papa Gods Power, centre on a low-income Nigerian family.
