And then Gloria Oloruntobi popularly known as Maraji appeared from nowhere and, boom! in our faces with her very hilarious skits on social media. Her videos generate thousands of views on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. She has gained massive recognition so much so that she featured in Falz and Ycee’s Something Light music video.

Playing multiple roles in a video is nothing new in the comedy business. Maraji has taken hers to a whole new level.
