In April 2019, she uploaded a skit to Instagram that showed a mother rushing to get her daughter to school.

The daughter had overslept and missed the school bus.

In the 56-second skit made by the comic, Maryam Apaokagi, popularly known as Taaooma, the daughter realizes halfway through the drive to school that she picked up her lunch box but forgot her school bag at home.
