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.
“My highest I have taken from Facebook can be in the $9000 monthly. Facebook pays more than that and it is the reason why Sabinus is who he is and Nigerians buy houses like that…. “There are other social media pages that make more money. In December, I was on TikTok and within a week I clocked close to $5000 to $6000.
“I never knew I could make [huge money from Facebook]. The first time I made a huge amount from Facebook it was like a dream. I was like is this my money? I had to withdraw and hold it before I was sure that it was my money.

“All these things, there are ways of doing them but just that Ghana is not a country which is added to the monetisation list because common PayPal we do not even have a head off to withdraw money so we are all dealing with other countries like Nigeria,” he stated.
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.
