YouTube dropped its Nigeria stats for this year, and gospel artist Gaise Baba completely dominated the music video rankings with his track featuring Lawrence Oyor, which pulled over 41 million views in half a year. Filmmaker Omoni Oboli topped the creator charts while other heavy hitters like Shallipopi, Davido, and Asake landed multiple spots in the most-watched video countdown.
The platform's Africa music boss confirmed the rankings that showed Nollywood personalities like Ibrahim Yekini, Ruth Kadiri, and Brain Jotter pulling massive viewer numbers alongside Oboli. The gospel track outperformed mainstream Afrobeats releases from established stars, which is pretty wild considering how the algorithm usually favors secular content.
