Sharjah: A successful career can be attained in many ways. For Zubair Bin Jaafar Ba’oom, his calling was on social media – and one that happened solely by chance. Ba’oom, 25, is one of the UAE’s most recognised content creators after gaining massive popularity on Facebook, thanks to his skits that take a satirical look at Arab life.
