Popular skit maker Kuye Adegoke has become a proud homeowner in Lagos. The content creator shared a video of himself and his wife inside their new house, appearing to subtly address his critics.
Adegoke recently trended on social media following his interview with American streamer iShowSpeed during the latter’s visit to Nigeria. Some Nigerians criticised the skit maker, popularly known as Egungun, arguing that he could have asked more insightful questions.
While showcasing his new home, Egungun suggested that true respect belongs to those who take action rather than those who merely criticise. He emphasised that making an effort, despite mistakes or failures, is more admirable than standing on the sidelines.
He wrote:
“Congratulations to me and my family.
It’s not the people who sit down and criticise that matter.
It’s not those who point fingers and say, ‘You could have done it better.’
The real respect goes to the person who tries — the one who shows up, works hard, gets tired, makes mistakes, and sometimes fails. Because nobody can try without messing up sometimes.
That person keeps going. They believe in something and give their energy to a good cause.
If they succeed, great — they’ve achieved something big.
If they fail, at least they failed while trying.
They will never be like those who do nothing, say nothing, and stand aside — people who never win and never lose because they never even tried.”
