A Two-Year Rise: How Omoni Oboli Became YouTube Nigeria’s Top Creator

Omoni Oboli has closed out 2025 with a milestone that perfectly captures the incredible journey of her fast-rising digital empire. At the YouTube Africa Awards, she was named YouTube Nigeria Content Creator of the Year, a moment that marked both an emotional high point and a remarkable validation of her meteoric growth on the platform.

What makes this win even more striking is the pace of her channel’s rise. Just two years ago, Omoni Oboli TV launched quietly with no grand fanfare. By March 2025, the channel was sitting at 670,000 subscribers, boosted by the runaway success of her hit film Love in Every Word, which alone added over 390,000 new subscribers.

From there, it was a steady climb. April saw her cross the 1 million mark, closing the month at 1.06 million subscribers. June pushed the momentum even higher, hitting 1.28 million, driven by a massive 600,000-subscriber surge within the first half of the year.

By September, the community had grown to 1.43 million, cementing Omoni as one of the most influential storytellers on the platform. And now, in December 2025, two years after launching, Omoni Oboli TV has reached 1.7 million subscribers and surpassed 370 million total views. Her top films continue to break records online, with Love in Every Word crossing 30 million views, its sequel hitting 18 million, and A Night in July holding strong at 10 million.

For Omoni, this new award represents far more than numbers. In her own words, it’s the culmination of faith, resilience, partnership and a community that never stopped showing up. From her cast and crew to longtime viewers who she calls her “besties,” she credits every milestone to the people who believed in her vision. She also shines a special light on her partner, Tomi Adeoye, whose work behind the scenes helped shape the channel’s identity.

As she celebrates this honor, Omoni remains grounded in gratitude toward God, her family, and the millions who have clicked, watched and shared her stories. Two years in, Omoni Oboli TV has become a force in Nollywood’s digital space, and if this growth is any indication, the journey is only beginning.
