Speaking further he said:

“I am a living example of the usefulness of show business. Since I graduated from the university in 2019, I did not have to go looking all over the places for a job that is non-existing. I have carved a niche for myself as a comedian on Instagram and YouTube and I have so far earned a decent living and achieved respectability in society.”

Pankeeroy who graduated from Redeemer's University with a bachelor's degree in computer science, further stated that he is not quitting his comedy gig on Instagram anytime soon.

“Nothing gives me joy than the realisation that I am not wasting the talent God has given me,” he said, “At the same time, I would not want my years in the university to be a waste. I daily put my computer scientist knowledge and skill to use, but someday, I hope to do something big in that direction, perhaps as an entrepreneur.”
