Comedian and entrepreneur Isaac Aloma popularly known as Zicsaloma, has urged individuals to pursue cosmetic surgery with reputable surgeons to enhance their appearance.

He argued that looks significantly influence professional and social opportunities in this ‘superficial’ world.

In a video shared on social media, Zicsaloma recounted personal experiences of rejection due to his appearance.

“If you know you can afford cosmetic surgery with a good surgeon to enhance your looks, forge ahead and do it. I’ll give you a reason using myself as a case study. When I finished university, I remember going for a very big customer care job.

“We were about hundred and they wanted just one person. Out of a hundred, they dropped us literally to three. Out of the three of us, they now rescheduled us to come and that one of us will be selected.

“They rescheduled us. When they rescheduled us, we did a typing test. My mom owned the business center so I could type crazy. I was very fast in typing. We used Mavis Bacon and all these apps. We did reading tests.

“I could, I can read eloquently. I studied English. So I was obviously the best for the job. So when they took us to the female directors? The female directors, they were telling them that this guy is the best but the female directors said they don’t want me. Why? They said my look does not work for customers and they said it. How do you think I’ll feel? Another typical example was when I auditioned for Project Same in Abuja about 10 years ago.

“Getting to the stage, I passed several stages, getting to the stage where the judges come together, where they were now selecting the top people, the final people that will go to Lagos for the finals. Getting to the stage where the judges come together, after singing, they argued, argued. They now finally told me no.

“I now left. A crew, like a DOP that was inside the audition venue, now came to meet me. I was like, do you know you’re the best thing I heard today? I was like, why didn’t they now select me? He said, do I know about braces? I was like, no, you know that before my teeth wasn’t all that.”He said if I can get braces to make my teeth better, it will enhance my looks. And then I had pimples very well. He now said that if there’s any beauty product I can use to clear my pimples and my black spots, I should use it.

“And guess what, before then, I didn’t even know there was anything wrong with my teeth. Do you understand? So what I’m trying to say in essence is that the world is extremely superficial”, he said.

The comedian emphasised that society’s obsession with aesthetics often dictates success in fields like entertainment and corporate roles.

He pointed to reality shows like Big Brother, where contestants’ appearances spark public debates, and noted that actors are often favored for their looks over talent.

“That’s why you can see maybe people will be selected for Big Brother. And the next thing you hear is that, ah, Big Brother contestants are ugly. I know they watch.

“Why? Why would you watch? Why do people choose their favorite actors? Ah, she did get too fine. That’s why you like her as an actor, not because she’s so talented. That’s why you like him because he’s too fine with steeze”, he added.

Zicsaloma also admitted to once denying a job to an applicant due to poor hygiene, reinforcing his point that presentation matters.

“There’s literally a girl I did not give a job who wanted to work with me. I didn’t give her a job because she was literally very smelly. It’s not an exaggeration”, he said.

Encouraging proactive steps, he advocated for affordable enhancements like liposuction for those unable to commit to gym routines, alongside maintaining good grooming, stylish clothing, and skincare.

“So sometimes you do these things, you enhance your look, not just, not because you want to impress people, because of who you want to be or what you want to do. If you know you cannot do the gym, you have the funds and you have the right surgeon go for liposuction”.

While acknowledging that less attractive individuals can succeed, he stressed they often need to work exponentially harder than those with appealing looks.

“So anything you can do to enhance your looks, you must smell good, wear good dresses, wear good hair, good haircuts. How you look matters a lot in this world. You can succeed being less attractive but most times you have to work 10 times harder than somebody who has pretty privilege.  So anything you can do to make yourself look better, do it. Do it. Using good body products to get better skin and all that”, he concluded.

Comedian Zicsaloma has spoken about his comedic persona, denying speculation that he’s a crossdresser.

He clarified that his portrayal of women in skits is strictly for entertainment purposes and doesn’t reflect his personal life.

Zicsaloma emphasised that dressing up as a woman is a comedic choice, not a lifestyle or advocacy, and challenged those who conflate his skits with real-life crossdressing.

He stressed that his ability to mimic females is a comedic strength, and he doesn’t need makeup to deliver humour.

“I am not a crossdresser; I only dress like a woman for content. I don’t even wear makeup—not that I can’t do comedy without it. Mimicking females is my comic strength.

“There are people who are good at mimicking different characters, like a typical Hausa man. Are you saying I influenced popular crossdressers—I don’t want to mention names—who heavily dress as women to events in gowns,” he said.

He shared the updated photos on Instagram, jokingly warning friends and fans against using his old pictures.

“No more old pictures for posters…If you use them, you invite yourself and if you are my friend, and you still use my old pictures for my birthday pic, you are my foe. Please summarize your opinions,” he wrote.

Skit maker and actor Zicsaloma has shared a new video update on his recovery from rhinoplasty surgery, revealing the reasons behind his decision to undergo the procedure.

In a viral video, Aloma explained that he had been ridiculed for his nose by his siblings and others since when he was younger, making him feel self-conscious about its size.

“This is three weeks post-operation, three weeks after my rhinoplasty. I’ll take off this cast so you can see how well my nose has healed. If you noticed, my face is less swollen. The last video I posted was five days after my surgery, and my face was still very swollen. It will continue to go down.

“My siblings constantly insulted my nose, calling it too big and ugly. Among us, I was the only one with this type of nose. It made me feel different”, he said.

He noted that he had always wanted to reconstruct his nose but had recently had the opportunity to fulfil his desire.

Addressing misconceptions about rhinoplasty, Aloma clarified that the procedure is not a “death sentence” and can be undergone for various reasons, including aesthetics and medical purposes.

“Some of you don’t even know what rhinoplasty is. Some think it’s a death sentence. People undergo it for different reasons—some for aesthetics, like me, and others for medical reasons, such as breathing issues. I’ve always had a very flat nose, and if I could have reconstructed it as a child, I would have”, he said.

Aloma proudly showcased his new nose, expressing satisfaction with the results and noting that it will continue to refine over time.

He addressed speculation about the cost of the surgery, revealing that it was a collaborative effort with a hospital, and he did not pay for the procedure.

“I want the speculation to continue, but for transparency, I didn’t pay for the procedure. It was a collaboration between me and a hospital”, he said.

Popular skit maker, Isaac Aloma, aka ZicSaloma, has disclosed that he left the lecturing job at Kaduna Polytechnic to focus on skit making because of the poor salary he was earning.

Speaking in a recent podcast interview with actress Iyabo Ojo, Aloma noted how he was retained as a lecturer after his youth service at Kaduna Polytechnic but left eventually to pursue entertainment.

The skit maker recalled that while lecturing, he was still auditioning for singing competitions and even participated in an edition of The Voice Nigeria.

He said his foray into skit-making was “unplanned,” noting that he struggled with it for three years before gaining traction.

Aloma said: “I started making skits unplanned. It wasn’t something I took seriously but it was gaining traction. At first, I was posting my skits on Facebook, and my Facebook friends seemed to like it. They encouraged me to do more. I just kept doing it. I did it for like three years. My fan base wasn’t growing but the people who liked it liked it.

“Then until the lockdown period when I joined Tiktok, my contents started flying organically.

“At a point, I told my boss that I was quitting my lecturing job and she was like, ‘Are you sure you know what you’re doing?’ I’m done with lecturing. How much is the lecturer’s salary?”.
