The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has congratulated Nigerian content creator Bemi Orojogun, popularly known as London Bus Aunty, for winning Video of the Year at the TikTok UK Awards 2025.

In a post shared on his X page on Sunday, Khan said, “Congratulations to London’s very own Bus Aunty for winning Video of the Year at the TikTok Awards.”

Orojogun, a Nigerian TikTok creator based in the United Kingdom, was nominated alongside Friends of Elmtree, Sam Morris, Gardiner Brothers, Joseph Machines, and Brad Ben for the prestigious award, which celebrates standout creators on the platform.

The Mayor highlighted Orojogun’s signature passion for London’s buses, tweeting, “Her love of our iconic red buses has captured hearts across the country.”

Khan also referenced Orojogun’s enthusiasm for the city’s public transport, noting, “And did you know? She’s a proud fan of the Bakerloop – London’s newest express bus route.”

The winning video has reportedly been viewed almost 50 million times on TikTok, according to BBC News.

While accepting the award on Friday, Orojogun shared motivational advice, saying, “Don’t allow your age to stop you. Don’t allow your family to say don’t do that, it’s embarrassing. If you love it, do it.”

PUNCH Online had earlier reported that Orojogun, who first went viral in 2024 with a forced-perspective video, has since transformed from an internet curiosity into a full-fledged influencer.

She has collaborated with brands including Burberry, H&M, IKEA, Jacquemus, Maybelline, and JBL, and recently partnered with MAC Cosmetics.

The middle-aged creator has also worked with public figures, including the Mayor of London, on initiatives such as the city’s 2,000 zero-emission buses project.

Fans have affectionately nicknamed her “London Bus Aunty,” and her videos, filmed from the roadside pavement, have inspired playful reactions online, with some Nigerians jokingly challenging her to recreate the stunts in busy areas like Oshodi or CMS.

Congratulations London Bus Aunty. Mushin Bus Aunty and Oshodi Bus Aunty coming soon.

Lagos state BRT and London Bus are almost same thing . The difference is one is operated in a sane country free of bandits while the other ,.......... unfortunately all the citizens of the ....... Want to empty into their former colonial masters country 65yrs after granting them independence. What an irony.

.. To recreate it in Oshodi ke, you wan wound her... with the agberos at every corner....

They should come and take the independence and change our name to UK so we can all remain and live happily ever after.

Lest. Cash out big if need be

I just checked and she is from your village...

Hope you are happy now .

Congrats to her! How much are her earnings from making viral videos? Does she have dependents? And is she now a citizen of the UK? How did she keep doing it as the Nigerian in some of us would have been trying to discourage her from doing such things

Serious nightmare.. but these allawaba people are always like that, deceptive and love holding on to power while pretending at the beginning...look at the one at ivory coast,since 2010 and he keeps changing this and that and has refused to leave power...

Continue saying bad about Islam. A Religion that's spreading very fast, keep complaining from Nigeria while those in London are satisfied with his governance.
To add more for you , there are almost 10 or close to Muslim Mayor in UK at the moment,
The most name given to children there is Muhammad, your phobia and hatred for Islam has nothing to do with the spread of Islam like it or not

The terrible mayor. Wants to bring shariah to London
