8. Jennifer Oseh

Stylist, creative director and fashion influencer Jennifer Oseh better known with the moniker The Lady Vhodka has since been on top of her style game.

Soliat found her culinary passion after the group parted away to pursue solo dreams. Nula’s Kitchen was her first tryout, after posting clips of preparing meals on Instagram and received encouragement. Now, she’s the host of Accelerate TV’s Off the Menu, a cooking show where Soliat is joined by Nigerian celebrities as they whip out delicious meals over exciting stories and banter.

5. Fisayo Fosudo

In just a short time, Fisayo Fosudo has built real estate around tech reviews on YouTube, installing himself as a reverent authority.

4. Tayo Aina

Tayo Aina is a YouTuber who has a created a resonant, digital persona from making content off lifestyle and travel. His tour of one of the cheapest Airbnb apartments in Lagos has racked up over 400k views. Tayo’s content drips with fast consumerism and in his latest YouTube, he asks, ”what is inside a 200k South African mansion in Johannesburg?” Chances are, you would like to know to.

 

3. Taaooma

Mention a comedian that has taken up the responsibility in bringing awareness about the Coronavirus, and we will give you Taaooma. Her latest material weaves in words like ”social distancing” and ”quarantine,” both of which have become part of our cultural lexicon if you have spent enough time on the internet. Queen.

2. Maraji

Maraji’s Coronavirus-themed skit, just released, plays up different people as they process the Coronavirus pandemic. It is Maraji in her element.

1. Denola Grey

While the return of the AMVCAs shouldn’t have held in hindsight, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the awards can be looked upon for churning out some good fashion, and disastrous pieces also. Denola Grey was easily the best dressed male celebrity in an off-shoulder tux, but this was overshadowed by the fans of BBNaija’s Mike who spammed votes to swing in his favour. These guys can’t let us enjoy things.

Beyond that, Denola Grey teamed up with the Nigerian Center for Disease Control on their #TakeResponsibility campaign. Wash your hands folks.
