Frank Donga talks birth of hilarious character

In the interesting chat, he spoke on the birth of the character, which he described as his ‘alter ego.’

“Frank Donga is my alter ego. It was kind of leaked out to the world when I was working with an online TV platform ” the actor said.

According to the actor who used to work as a camera person and video editor, his friends MO and Femi encouraged him to record his ‘usual crazy stuffs’ which he never thought was extra ordinary.

“I would say stuffs, and my friends Mo and Femi will roll on the funny and say ‘this is so funny. You know what, this is some stuff we could record later.’  And then, that particular day I was wearing that pink shirt to work, and I said a couple of things and they kept laughing.
