Nigerian skit maker Oderhowho Joseph Efe, popularly known as Carter Efe, has lost his official TikTok account after the platform permanently banned the page over repeated violations of its community guidelines.

TikTok stated that the account had breached its policies on multiple occasions.
Carter Efe’s banned account had grown to more than 5.6 million followers and over 158 million likes before it was taken down.
TikTok Permanently Bans Carter Efe’s Account With Over Five Million Followers
The page was one of his major channels for sharing comedy videos, promoting music and interacting with fans through live broadcasts.
The latest development is also not Carter Efe’s first experience with losing a TikTok account.
In June 2025, TikTok removed another account belonging to the skit maker, which had about 3.5 million followers at the time.
The action followed a controversy involving comments he made about Nigerian singer Wizkid during a livestream.
The content creator later apologized over the incident and returned to the platform, where he gradually rebuilt his following and eventually grew the replacement account to more than 5.6 million followers.
In other news, Carter Efe has explained why he stopped making relationship-focused content with his former girlfriend.
Naija News reports that the comedian spoke during a recent episode of Cocktails & Takeaways, where he discussed his past relationship content and the challenges he faced while creating videos with his former partner.
Carter explained that his online content had become closely linked to his relationship, to the point where he found it difficult to create videos whenever his girlfriend was not around.
According to him, he later realized that building his career around another person could affect his growth and personal identity.
He said he began to see the need to separate his own brand from his relationship so that his career would not depend on whether he was with his partner or not.
