It is a big win for female content creators in Nigeria, as the popular video-sharing platform YouTube, during its 20th anniversary this year, celebrated the exceptional achievements of creators who continue to shape global narratives and elevate African voices.
Four Nigerian female creators, Ruth Kadiri, Kiekie, Ify Mogekwu (Ify’s Kitchen), and Korty, were recognised.
Ruth Kadiri earned a spot on the list for compelling, homegrown stories that display the richness of Nigerian cinema. Kiekie, known for her skits and fashion, brings laughter and relatability with a unique blend of satire and style.
Ify Mogekwu of Ify’s Kitchen put Nigerian recipes on the international scene, educating and delighting audiences.
