Nigerian comedian Destalker has shared a surprising story about how he found his way into the comedy industry. Speaking recently, he revealed that his journey began after he failed at trying to engage in internet fraud.

According to the entertainer, he once attempted online scams but quickly realised it was not for him. Destalker explained that he lacked the patience and skills needed to succeed in cybercrime, and the experience pushed him to rethink his path in life.

He noted that comedy became a natural option because he always enjoyed making people laugh. Destalker added that focusing on his talent was the best decision he ever made, as it helped him build a successful career without resorting to illegal activities.

The comedian advised young Nigerians to avoid shortcuts and illegal means of making money. He encouraged them to discover what they are good at and work hard to build a future through legitimate opportunities instead of falling for the pressure to join cybercrime.

His story serves as a reminder that success can come from honest work and persistence, even when early attempts at other paths fail.
