Popular Nigerian comedian, Destalker, has revealed that before going into comedy, he did internet fraud but was unsuccessful at it.

Speaking in a recent episode of the In-house Gist podcast, the comedian said the friend who introduced him to internet fraud is now a Christian cleric.

He explained that he failed at internet fraud because he was kindhearted and couldn’t bear to defraud people.

“Before I left Enugu, I tried internet fraud with one of my friend who is now a pastor but I wasn’t successful at it. Then we would book night sessions at cyber cafe for N250. I couldn’t afford it then so my friend always paid for me. He is now a big pastor, Rev. Nelson Umeh.

“However, while he was scouting for victims online to scam, I was busy chatting with my family, friends and old schoolmates from Ughelli on Facebook. After that, I would fall asleep. There is no need for overspending when you are on the wrong lane…

“But today, it is a changed story. Because it [internet fraud] was not my destiny. I can’t defraud a person because I am kindhearted. Because of all that I went through, I have grown so confident that no one can stop me from achieving my goal.

“There were some comedians who said without them I would not perform at certain shows and I told them that I would blow even without performing there. And I did. Some of the shows have gone extinct and some of the comedians are also no longer relevant,” Destalker expressed.
