says she initially dreamed of becoming a singer and medical doctor before finding success in skit-making.   

The actress and skit maker opened up about her early career aspirations in an interview on .

Lizzy disclosed that her original focus was on music and medicine, not comedy.

She explained that her journey into skit-making began unexpectedly and out of sheer boredom while staying home alone.

“Nothing was on my mind when I started making skit; what was on my mind was to do music, go to school, and become a medical doctor,” she said.

“So skit making was a way of killing boredom. I was home alone, had my phone and I needed to do something.

“It wasn’t like I planned or saw people doing skits and thought to copy. I was just bored, and I started making a skit.”

Lizzy added that her perspective changed when one of her skits gained unexpected attention. She said after posting a video on Facebook, it was widely shared by several celebrities, including Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde.

“I knew my skit was beyond just a boredom killer after one of my skits, which I posted on my page on Facebook, was reposted by several celebrities including Omotola Jolade on Instagram. So, at the point I just thought I need to continue what I started,” she said.

Lizzy first gained recognition as a skit maker before transitioning into acting. She has appeared in several Nollywood films, including ‘Dear Affy,’ ‘Dubara,’ and ‘The Order of Things’.
