- Nigerian comedian and actor Isaac Olayiwola, better known as Layi Wasabi, recently shared his childhood experiences of physical discipline from his uncles. During his appearance on the ’90s Baby’ podcast, the AMVCA winner reminisced about an incident where one of his uncles traveled for hours just to punish him for failing physics and underperforming in mathematics.
“I had uncles that flogged me. I had one that travelled to flog me. He travelled for two hours from Ibadan to Oshogbo to flog me,” Layi recounted. “At the time, I passed biology and chemistry, but I failed physics. And I had stronger subjects in the art department, so it was recommended that I did art. My mum was upset I wasn’t taking school seriously.”
“She called one of my uncles, and he said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll be in Oshogbo tomorrow.’ I was the one that opened the gate for him and assisted him in carrying his luggage from his car. He sat down, drank water, and said, ‘Bring your report card.’ He went through all the courses and said, ‘You failed physics, you didn’t do well in mathematics. Lie down there.’ And I knew what my fate was then.”
