I didn’t really have flair for comedy at first—Taaooma

Social media personality, Apaokagi Maryam, popularly known as Taaooma, has said there are lots of parody social media accounts created with her name.

On how she noticed she had a flair for comedy, Taaooma said she didn’t really have flair for it at first.

“I really didn’t have any flair for comedy at first, all I wanted to learn was how to edit slideshows and all. That made me delve into comedy”.
