From film lovers to content binge-watchers, fans have turned these channels into household names, and the hype keeps growing.
For Omoni Oboli, this win didn’t come as a surprise to many. Her YouTube channel has become a go-to spot for original Nollywood stories, family-friendly content, and behind-the-scenes moments that fans can’t get enough of. In a year where Nigerians consumed more online video content than ever before, her channel stood tall as the most-engaged and most-watched creator page in the country. She didn’t just post, she built a community.
Right behind her is Itelediconstudio, owned by popular actor Ibrahim “Itele” Yekini. His storytelling style, action-packed dramas, and emotionally charged role interpretations have given viewers something fresh and binge-worthy all year round. His channel’s rise is proof that Nigerians crave relatable stories told with authenticity and flair.
YouTube revealed that the top creators list was curated using real engagement data, including watch time, search volume, and creator growth. This means it’s the viewers who made the call. Other creators who joined the top 10 include Ruth Kadiri, Uche Montana, Maurice Sam, and APATATV+, showing just how strong Nollywood’s digital market has become.
This ranking also highlights a bigger trend: Nigerians are consuming more local content than ever. Instead of relying solely on movies released in cinemas or on streaming platforms, audiences are now flocking to YouTube for fast, entertaining, and easily accessible Nollywood content.
With creators like Omoni Oboli and Itele dominating the platform, 2025 is shaping up to be a massive year for Nigerian digital storytelling. Fans are already waiting to see what these creators drop next.
