Sydney described the traditional skit-making industry as becoming “highly saturated and emotionally draining” for many creators. He noted that the constant demand for short-form viral content often leads to burnout, making Carter’s success in the streaming niche a positive and necessary shift for the ecosystem.

Congratulating Carter Efe on what he described as a “historic moment,” Sydney stated that the move proved the comedian’s ability to trust his own creative instincts.

He admitted that although he once advised against the transition, the successful outcome has made him hopeful for the future of broader content creation in Nigeria.

“I discouraged him at first,” Sydney wrote, “but he proved that as a true creator, you must trust your gut.”

Beyond personal accolades, Sydney used the opportunity to offer advice to other skit makers who may be feeling pressured or unfulfilled in the current industry climate.

He encouraged them to explore streaming as a viable alternative, emphasizing that the field is still in its emerging stages and presents significant opportunities for growth before it reaches its own saturation point.

While urging his peers to innovate and diversify their reach, Sydney reassured those who intend to remain in the skit-making business of his continued commitment to improving the industry.

He vowed to keep working toward making it a more sustainable and fulfilling career path for the next generation of comedians.

Sydney concluded by clarifying that his message was specifically targeted at creators seeking change and growth within the rapidly evolving entertainment space.
