LAYIWASABI is the most intelligent skit maker in Nigeria. While this may be true, I have a slightly different opinion. I see Layiwasabi as someone who has successfully utilized his intelligence in skit making.
Have you ever come across individuals who possess wit and acumen but always seem to be unserious in their pursuits? That is exactly who Layiwasabi is. Even though he studied law, which is his brand identity, if he were to practice it in a courtroom, the judges would be unable to contain their laughter and entertainment. The courtroom is typically a serious place for legal matters.
Fortunately, skit making has given Layiwasabi global visibility. He has also hosted numerous events since his secondary school days, where he discovered his unique talent. He inherited his witty and funny attributes from his mother.
Layiwasabi’s physical attributes, such as his height, movements, expressions, and the words he delivers, are all humorous and intelligently funny. He possesses what we call verbal intelligence.
I personally believe that everyone is intelligent, as there are about eight types of intelligence. However, one must identify their specific area of intelligence in order to express it effectively.
Here are some lessons to learn from Layiwasabi:
1. Find your area of intelligence and use it to your advantage. Identify the area where your creativity flows naturally without any mental blockages.
2. Embrace and leverage your physical attributes. Whether you are lanky, skinny, short, tall, dark, fair, or fat, use it to your advantage.
3. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you. Avoid individuals who make you feel bad about your appearance, as it can negatively impact your self-esteem.
4. Create a recognizable personal style. Choose a specific color, style, or trademark outfit that enhances your visibility and strengthens your brand identity. Think of Michael Jackson and his iconic outfits.
5. Continuously improve and master your skills. Don’t settle for what you already know; strive to enhance your abilities and become a master of your craft. This will allow you to naturally express your creativity and ingenuity.
6. Prioritize your brand visibility. No matter how skilled or talented you are, if you’re not visible, no one will know about you. Invest in building your brand visibility and don’t underestimate its importance.
