Becoming a successful Nigerian creator is not for the faint of heart. And if you think all you need is a good phone camera and good lighting — hold our hands as you read this — you’re mistaken.
The real engine is not physical equipment; it’s a list of items that not many people will tell you. But we will.
So here are the five non-negotiable items that every Nigerian creator must possess before they can truly start “cashing out.”
Daily Dose of The Anti-Shame Pill
There are multiple steps to becoming a creator, and each one requires a level of willpower. The biggest blocker? Cringe. It’s not easy to put your life in front of the world without feeling some of it.
Here comes some help: the anti-shame pill, a powerful blend of Zero Self-Doubt and 100% Main Character Energy. It allows the creator to look directly into the camera, deliver a take with maximum confidence, and never feel awkward about recording multiple takes of “Please like, share and subscribe.”
A Digital Scroll of Sacred Tutorial Videos
This is the hidden playbook. And it’s simple. You don’t learn from the best; you learn how to perfectly replicate the best until you become the best.
The 100-Page List of Brand Managers
Unless you’re in it for the love of the game — and let’s be honest, who is? — the true goal is alerts. So it’s fair that part of the starter kit is a directory of every brand, agency, and marketing agency in Nigeria.
“My reach is unmatched. Let’s discuss a mutually beneficial partnership” is a cold pitch, but what good is it if there’s nobody to send it to?
The Power Bank of Eternal Validation
Forget a regular power bank; this one charges the soul. It’s the creator’s secret bank of positive comments and DMs. Something like a 24/7 supply of “I’m a big fan. You inspire me.”
So whenever a comment section gets negative, the creator plugs into the Eternal Validation bank to survive the next 24 hours.
A Catchy, Potentially Viral Catchphrase
It goes without saying, but the final piece of the puzzle is a catchy catchphrase. What will the fans scream if they run into you on the streets? The name doesn’t matter; a catchphrase does.
