Comedian Waris says, “He sometimes makes GH₵112,500.00 monthly on Facebook.”

Not all Ghanaians have it hard in life, and comedian Comedian Waris, also known as Abdul Waris Umaru, readily fits the bill.

Comedian Waris revealed that he has made up to $9000 (GH₵112,500.00) in a single month via content creation on Facebook.

Speaking recently on TV3’s The Afternoon Show, comedian Comedian Waris acknowledged that producing material was expensive and that Ghana is still struggling with social media monetization.

“The maximum amount I have ever received from Facebook is around $9,000 monthly. Facebook pays more than that, which explains why Sabinus is the person he is and why Nigerians own homes of that caliber.

“There are more profitable social media pages. I was on TikTok in December, and in just one week, I earned between $5000 and $6000.

“I had no idea I could earn so much on Facebook.” It felt like a dream when I made my first significant Facebook money. I thought, Is this money? Before I was certain that it was my money, I had to take it out and hold it.

“All these things, there are ways to do them; we’re just dealing with other countries like Nigeria and Ghana is not a country that is added to the monetization list because common PayPal we do not even have a head off to withdraw money,” he said.

Comedian Waris has been doing amazing work ever since he decided to pursue comedy as a career. On the various stages he has appeared on, he has won over admirers and established a stellar reputation for himself in the business.

In 2020, he won the Comedy and Poetry Awards Scheme (COPO) Viral Skit Act of the Year Award.
