Flaqo said:

"I have come from humble beginnings and this journey has been nothing short of exciting with a lot of challenges, with a lot of ups and downs. So I gave up acting in high school because I was always cast as either a door or fire despite knowing my potential as an actor. So, during and after campus, I have always wanted to go and audition but I did not even have the fare. But my dream on TV was to have even the smallest role," he said.

Since then, Flaqo has been making comedic videos where he plays almost all the characters of his family members with the lead actor named Otis.

"When I was coming up, I could not find people to work with, because during that time I was still unknown and apparently at the time what I was doing was "embarrassing". So in the process, I decided to play all the roles, on every show that I do online and I decided to become a one-man show. Years later, I have my programme, on a whole TV station," he said.
