How it all started
“During COVID-19 lockdown, I started creating health care content basically focused on nursing. I started because people, especially nursing students, were in need of it. I went through nursing school, and I knew how difficult learning in class was, not to mention having to learn online during the lockdown. I started doing it to help nursing students, prospective nursing students, and new nurse graduates just to help them navigate the world of nursing. I would say that has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done as it has become something bigger than I had imagined attracting over 500k followers across my social media platforms. I am proud of myself."

Explaining how she came about the name Mylifeassugar, she said:
"I came about the brand name Mylifeassugar from my nickname Sugar. Everyone around me calls me sugar, so when I was about to give name to my content creation, I decided to give it a name that revolves around my life."
Sugar said she is happy about building a community of people looking forward to her content.
"I would say I have not reached the peak of my career yet. However, I have built a strong community of people looking forward to new content from me every other day. My community also looks up to me to help them through nursing school and their nursing career generally".
Skitmaker JayOnAir shares how he went into content creating
Legit.ng reported earlier that budding skit maker, JayOnAir, revealed that even though creating his content seems to be an effortless endeavour for him lately, doing it didn’t just happen by chance for him.
He revealed that in 2020 when the world was plagued with the COVID-19 pandemic, he was among thousands of young Nigerians who were forced out of a job and confined to the four walls of their homes.
Naturally, the overwhelming nature of events at the time soon crippled the young man into a disturbing place that threatened his happiness.
“I was bored. I was depressed. I was out of a job. I just needed something to keep me happy,” he recounts.
