Why I Am Still Single – Skitmaker Mummy Wa

Nigerian content creator and skit maker, Kemi Ikuseedun, popularly known as Mummy Wa, has revealed why she remains single at nearly 30 years old.

According to her, many women share the same experience of developing emotional attachments to characters portrayed in movies and television series.

“I am almost 30, and I am still waiting for Lee Min Ho. What if I meet Lee Min Ho in real life and he is not the same as the person in ‘Boys Over Flowers’?
