Yagga sat down for an interview on Obinna Show Live with Oga Obinna, and let’s just say it was a roller coaster of laughs, lessons, and unexpected revelations. From his infamous obsession with “nyash” (yes, that cheeky slang for buttocks) to his journey through forex trading and family tragedies, Yagga kept it real—and the audience hooked.
Yagga’s Wit and Nigerian Accent
Right from the start, Yagga had everyone in stitches. Known for his larger-than-life personality, he didn’t hold back on his “nyash” fixation, turning what could have been an awkward topic into pure entertainment. But beyond the laughs, Yagga dropped some truth bombs about societal perceptions. “People are so used to poverty that they think nobody can live right,” he quipped, highlighting how normalized struggle has become in many communities.
What makes Yagga’s content stand out? His spot-on Nigerian accent, for starters. He explained his choice deliberately: “The most vibrant countries in Africa include Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa—that’s why I chose the Nigerian accent.” It’s a smart move in the content game, tapping into the energy of these powerhouse nations to amplify his reach. And amplify it has—Yagga’s indoor content creation empire proves you don’t need flashy exteriors to build success.
Forex Tales
Diving deeper into his hustle, Yagga opened up about his forex trading journey—a path fraught with highs and lows. He credits his brother for sparking the interest, poring over books that turned curiosity into a profitable skill. “I learned from my brother who had books, and I got interested despite the losses—I’ve been profitable,” he shared.
But it’s not all sunshine: Yagga admitted to staggering losses, up to $40,000, which he clawed back through persistence. “It’s easy to make money and easy to lose it,” he warned, emphasizing the need for financial literacy among the youth. In a continent where opportunities can feel scarce, his story is a beacon: invest in skills that pay dividends.
Personal Pivots
Yagga’s interview wasn’t just about money and memes; it got profoundly personal. He recounted a pivotal night out with his cousin that led to a life overhaul. “The following day, I reexamined my life and turned around—I quit drinking,” he said. It’s a testament to self-reflection in the face of excess.
Tragedy has shaped him too. Losing his father before he was even born and his mother 16 years later forged a resilience in detachment. “It made me detach easily,” Yagga reflected, turning pain into a superpower for navigating life’s curveballs. Yet, amid the hardships, he credits one decision as transformative: “Investing in a skill that would pay is one of the life-changing decisions for me—the skill is trading.”
The Return of the Visa Boys
Looking ahead, Yagga’s excitement was palpable about reuniting with his brothers. On November 27th, they’re jetting back from Australia, and he’s hosting a major event at Nairobi’s KICC dubbed “The Return of the Visa Boys.” More than a party, it’s a platform to inspire: “Aims at showing how people can monetize content, especially to change their home back in war-torn South Sudan.”
