Sometimes, life can change for a person in a way that feels like a movie, one moment you are grinding quietly, the next moment the whole country knows your name. That is exactly the kind of breakthrough story that Avah Oghenekaro, popularly known as Jaskaro TV, is currently living.
The Delta State based food content creator recently opened up about how a single opportunity, cooking for Afrobeats superstar Davido, completely changed his life, his career, and the way people now see his talent.
Who Is Jaskaro TV
Jaskaro TV is a Nigerian food content creator from Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, widely known online for his unique cooking style, his natural presentation, and the way he showcases local Nigerian meals in a very relatable way.
In an interview, he revealed that his love for cooking started from childhood, as he grew up watching his grandmother prepare meals, and that early exposure planted something in him that later became a full passion.
Although he studied Agricultural and Environmental Engineering at Delta State Polytechnic, his journey did not immediately take him into a comfortable life. Like many young Nigerians, he had to hustle, and at some point, he was running a barbing salon while still keeping his love for cooking alive.
Cooking was not just something he did for survival, it was something he genuinely enjoyed, and he began recording himself and posting videos online, not knowing that those simple videos would eventually open doors.
How Davido Found Him
According to Jaskaro TV himself, the turning point came when Davido followed him on TikTok. At first, he could not believe it, because to him, Davido was a superstar, someone far beyond his world.
But what shocked him even more was that Davido did not just follow him, the singer also reached out directly and invited him to come to Lagos to cook for him.
That was the kind of opportunity that most content creators only dream about.
The Invitation That Changed Everything
Jaskaro TV explained that Davido told him he wanted him to cook exactly the way he normally cooks in his videos. There was no pressure to impress with foreign dishes or unnecessary packaging, Davido simply wanted the real thing.
He also shared that Davido asked him to bring ingredients from home, including fish and other items, showing that he wanted the meal to feel authentic and local.
Jaskaro TV travelled to Lagos with his mother and cameraman, still in shock that something like that was happening to him.
For him, it was not just about meeting a celebrity, it felt like destiny.
Cooking for Davido and His Team
When he arrived in Lagos, Jaskaro TV said Davido welcomed him warmly, asked after his mother, and treated them with respect. That alone meant a lot to him, because it showed that Davido was not just doing it for social media.
He prepared his signature Isoko banga soup and also cooked a special version of jollof rice, meals that represent his roots and the kind of food he is known for.
The experience was emotional for him, because he watched one of Africa’s biggest stars sit down and enjoy food he prepared with his own hands.
That moment, according to him, was not just an achievement, it was a reminder that his hustle was not in vain.
In his words, he said:
“Cooking for Davido changed my life.”
What Happened After That Day
After the Davido cooking experience, Jaskaro TV said his life began to shift in ways he did not expect.
More people discovered his content, his followers increased massively, and his name started moving beyond the usual social media circles.
He began getting invitations and recognition from important personalities, including political figures. He revealed that after that moment, he was invited by a former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, and even received recognition from a former Delta State governor, showing that his brand had grown beyond entertainment.
The attention he received became proof that one opportunity can change a person’s story, especially when that person has already been consistent and prepared.
Jaskaro TV’s Message to Young Creators
Despite the sudden fame and recognition, Jaskaro TV made it clear that he remains focused on what matters most, which is authenticity.
He explained that his goal is to promote real food, natural ingredients, and cultural meals, while also encouraging young Nigerians to stay consistent and believe in their craft.
His story is now being seen as motivation for other content creators, not because he got lucky, but because he kept showing up even when nobody was watching.
Why Nigerians Are Inspired by His Story
Many Nigerians have praised Jaskaro TV’s journey because it feels relatable.
It is the story of someone who started small, hustled through life, stayed committed to his passion, and eventually got noticed by one of the biggest names in Africa.
It is also a reminder that sometimes, the breakthrough you are praying for can come through one unexpected message, one unexpected invitation, or one unexpected person noticing your work.
Jaskaro TV’s experience with Davido is not just a celebrity story, it is a powerful reminder that consistency can open doors, and when preparation meets opportunity, everything can change.
For him, cooking for Davido was not just a moment, it was a turning point, and it has become one of the most inspiring creative stories Nigerians are talking about right now.
