THE ACT OF A GENIUS
Often playing multiple roles (like some of her colleagues), Taaooma is known for the persona of the typical Nigerian mother.
In her case, she is overbearing and is portrayed as a constant thorn in the flesh of her daughter, using every opportunity to assert her domineering nature with hilarious and outrageous consequences.

Displaying her obvious wisdom with snide remarks and relentless criticisms, her sharp tongue lashes out and cuts whoever she addresses down to size.
Her impeccable puns and deliberate rhymes show that she is a master of her craft and one can’t help but wonder where the inspiration comes from.
