The music video ‘Áye’ by popular Nigeria artiste, Davido
tops the list of the most watched video on video-sharing
website, Youtube for the first quarter of 2014.
The video, directed by top Nigerian video director Clarence
Peters, generated over 300, 000 views in the first week
alone- proof that Nigerians still love music as much as
ever. Also on the list are the videos of Tuface Idibia’s 2012
single ‘Rainbow’ and Flavour N’abania ‘Ikwokrikwo’ video,
which featured 2013 Big Brother Africa winner, Dilish
Matthews.
However, while music remains a big passion for many,
Comedy skits are gradually finding their place into
Nigerians’ playlists. For the first time since YouTube was
officially launched in Nigeria, the top 10 most-viewed list
has more comedy-skits than musical videos.
Topping the list of most watched comedy videos is the
Deliverance skit featuring AY and Helen Paul. The video,
which generated almost 300, 000 views in the first month,
was published by AY’s AYTV. Other comedy videos that
made it to the list include ‘Maga don Pay’ and ‘The
Affair’ (both by Bovi) and the hilarious phone conversation
between Uche the Etisalat Customer Care executive and the
wife of a customer.
Globally, some of the biggest stars on YouTube are animals
and pets. From hilarious videos of cats pretending to be
dead, to those of dogs taking care of babies and elephants
overturning cars, YouTubers around the world cannot have
enough of the wonders of the animal kingdom. Nigerians
seem to be catching this bug. An incredible video of a snake
devouring a crocodile after a 5 hour battle generated over
24 Million views in its first 30 days with significant views
from Nigeria included!
The list wouldn’t have been complete without the
occasional national interest-type videos that many seem to
love. The Boko Haram Confession & Deliverance shared by
Synagogue of All Nation’s Emmanuel TV is one of these.
The over 200 comments shows how much interest this
video is generating.
