FunnyP has also added another feather to his entertainment cap as he is currently trending in all social media handles with his latest brand – the Pluto Presido.
Pluto Presido is a series aimed at expressing and bringing out the unique life styles of youths who call themselves Plutomanians.
According to the CEO of HomeOfLafta, the series has become the darling of young people both in Nigeria and beyond on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, Twitter, YouTube, and Whatsapp.

The Pluto Presido also used the opportunity to offer words of caution to practitioners and up coming skitmakers to adhere to acceptable standards.
“While everyone is at a liberty to choose what works best for them, it is also pertinent for skitmakers and those who produce Pranks to exercise caution.
“Some skits can get really dangerous and we have seen instances where contexts were not taken into account when people made skits”.
This, according to FunnyP, ” is why some of my colleagues have gotten into trouble. We need self – censorship and that is what is required to avoid running foul of the law and to respect the sensibility of our followers “, the Pluto Presido sensation said.
