Popular Nigerian skitmaker and comedian Lasisi Elenu has sparked online conversations after posting a fiery video and Twitter rant, expressing his disbelief and frustration over a potential hire.
The skitmaker, known for his sharp comedic commentary and viral skits, shared the video with his followers, stating, “This is who y’all want me to employ? This one will burn down my company 😡😡🤦🏽♂️.” The clip, which has since gone viral, shows him visibly upset and disillusioned about a potential hire, implying that the candidate’s performance or skills were far below expectations.
The post has ignited a conversation about the challenges of hiring the right talent in Nigeria’s competitive media and entertainment industry. Many fans and industry insiders have flooded social media with comments ranging from laughter to concern about the impact of such a public outburst on a business.
Elenu, who has built a reputation for his humorous takes on societal issues, did not clarify the identity of the individual involved in his post. However, the tweet seemed to suggest that the person in question was a candidate being considered for a position within his company, though it remains unclear whether the comment was meant to be lighthearted or a serious critique.
This is not the first time Lasisi has stirred the pot online, as his skits often blend humor with raw commentary on Nigerian culture, politics, and daily life. Fans, however, remain divided on the appropriateness of airing frustrations in such a public manner. Some suggest that this could be a marketing move, while others see it as a display of frustration at the challenges of managing a growing business.
Elenu’s post serves as a reminder of the pressures and realities business owners face when building teams, particularly in the entertainment industry, where performance and personality can make or break careers.
As the video continues to gain traction, many are now asking: Will Lasisi Elenu’s hiring process become a topic for further debate, or will this be another one of his notorious, yet funny, rants? Only time will tell.
