Taaooma Talks About Featuring Foreign Actors In Her Comedy Skits
Popular Nigerian comedienne and content-creator, Maryam Apaokagi, a.k.a Taaooma, has talked about how pleasant and advancing it was to have Canadian–American actor, King Bach, and actor Terry Crews, featured in her comedy skits.
In a recent interview, the intelligent content-creator said for about ten years she has been diligently exercising efforts and commitment in the creative industry, as she has been creating contents with passion and sense of entertainment for fans of comedy.
Taaooma deeply expressed delight on having the privilege to work with Terry and Bach in her recent comedy skits.
She has also stated that she is eager to act with more renowned actors, especially foreign actors – and in this vein, she has promised to feature more foreign celebrities in her comedy skits.
When talking about some challenges in her job as a comedian/skit-maker, Taaooma said that dressing differently for different characters when acting or playing different roles, is one of the challenges she had experienced.
Taooma affirmed that she has been actively involved in the entertainment industry for about tens years – and that she has been doing her filming-shoots and video-editing herself.
Quoting her: “ it’s already 10 years now. I shoot and edit my videos myself. It was a very nice experience to shoot videos with Terry Crews and King Bach. I love it and I look forward for more. I’m looking on to shoot with a lot of people as it comes but I don’t want to start mentioning names.”
Taaooma came into limelight via her comedy skits which were designed to imitate the typical talking-patterns and acts of Nigerian mothers, and on that, she has showcased as her ‘signature’, the unique act of African mothers as they do respond with ‘hot slap’ to the silly actions of their children.

Actress Patience Ozukor: I Rejected The Name-Tag ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ On Me, To Have My Own Name-Tag ‘Patience Ozukor’
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.
The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.
She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.
Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”
“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”
“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’
“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”
“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
