grin so its not wode maya ayaaa mayaaaa ?

Wode Maya has just about 445k subscribers and does not have views up to 1 million for a single video. Make sense because their viewers are different Mark Angle is purely entertainment that cut across different types of viewers that include Africans and non-Africans other than black. While Maya audience are mainly diaspora Africans and native Africans that are interested in African renaissance.

Abeg who Nigerian viewers epp. If you know how YouTube works, you'd know that your niche and your viewers countries matters a lot.

You'd see two people with 1 million views, one earning up to $10,000 while the other one just $800.

YouTube doesn't pay much if you have mainly African viewers.
yeah u are right, viewers from.first world countries pay more, however I doubt if he is very popular in Western countries, he is mostly popular in other African countries ( third world countries too) and parts of asia

Youtube and what I've seen in real life. Flavor and Davido were in the same city at the same time and Davido left his concert, which was near empty, to go to Flavour's. And remember Davido is exceptionally popular in the US. Flavour is a household name all over the world, especially in Asia Africa the Europe (minus the UK), South America and Caribbean etc. If there is a Nigerian song that has reached a country it's 'Nwa Baby'. Just about every country has a remix of it. I'm not surprised to see he has to most Youtube subs of any Nigerian artist.

Nigerians Are Unaware That Africa's Greatest Youtuber Is A Nigerian

Alot of Nigerians do not know that Africa's biggest YouTuber is a Nigerian. Interestingly, that title belongs to one 29-year-old Nigerian comedian, scriptwriter, and video producer who oddly doesn’t have as much clout back home as he has loyal fans abroad.

With over 6.39 million subscribers and more than 1 billion views on his 300+ videos, Mark Angel is technically the biggest YouTuber in Africa.(Social blade, 2020)
The Nigerian is best known for the Mark Angel Comedy series of shorts on YouTube, often featuring child comedians such as his 9-year-old niece, Emmanuella Samuel, and her sister, “Aunty” Success Madubuike (age 5 as of 2019).
Mark Angel’s YouTube channel was the first African comedy channel to reach one million subscribers.
Mark Angel was born in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. He had a stint at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Osun State, Nigeria, where he had been accepted to study medicine, but he eventually abandoned his studies due to family reasons.

After he left college, he spent time in Nigeria gaining experience in cinematography and theater. In 2013, he began independent filmmaking under the name, Mechanic Pictures, having been unable to find stable work in Nigeria’s film industry, Nollywood.
His skits became an instant hit. In 2017, Mark Angel Comedy received a plaque from YouTube for having reached one million subscriptions. It was the first Nigerian-based YouTube channel to reach that threshold.
Mark Angel’s niece, Emmanuella, has won comedy awards in Nigeria and Australia for her work with Mark Angel and is Africa’s youngest YouTube award winner.
In 2018, she even bagged a nomination in Nickelodeon’s famous Kids’ Choice Awards. Mark Angel Comedy videos can reach up to a million views during the first week after posting.
Few people know it but Mark Angel is, by some distance, Africa’s most successful YouTuber.


So, How Come Most Nigerians Don’t Know This?
Short Answer: It’s probably because Nigerians don’t care about YouTube and YouTubers that much, at least, not as much as they care about other social platforms.
As a matter of fact, compared to other social media platforms that are popular in Nigeria like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, YouTube has only a tiny fraction of active users of which only an even smaller fraction can be termed “consistent users.”
Maybe it’s not even Mark Angel, perhaps the fact of the matter is that most Nigerians don’t even know any of the biggest YouTubers in Nigeria.


And Why’s This?
Hootsuite’s State of Digital report placed the number of internet users in Nigeria at 98.39 million as of 2019.
Of the 98.39 million Nigerian internet users, it was found that 54 percent access the internet on a daily basis while only 12 percent (24 million) have active social media accounts.

Additionally, WhatsApp was found to be the most active social media platform in the country with 85 percent of internet users. Facebook placed second with 78 percent,
Instagram came third at 57 percent, followed by FB Messenger at 54 percent.
YouTube is only fifth on the rankings with 53 percent. And that says a lot about the popularity of the platform in Nigeria, and by extension, the popularity of the rockstars on the video-sharing platform in these parts.


Here’s Why YouTube Is Slacking In These Parts

Despite the increase in the number of internet users in Nigeria, overall internet penetration remains quite low, with only about 50 percent of the population connected to the internet, compared to the global average of 57 percent.
Besides that, many Nigerians who have access to the internet cannot afford to stream videos online, plus there’s the issue of spotty internet connections.

All these hamper YouTube usage in Nigeria, making the platform less popular and less frequently-used than other social platforms. It’s for this reason that the likes of Mark Angel get the bulk of their viewership from abroad.
“It is very discouraging for me as a video content creator,” lamented Tobi Ayeni, a YouTube creator popularly known as MissTechy, who spoke to TechPoint
last year.

“Imagine going through a lot of stress to shoot and upload a great video, only for people to watch just the first one minute or skim through because they are trying to manage the data they have,” she complained.

It’s a feeling shared by Dimma Umeh , a fast-rising Nigerian vlogger who runs a fast-growing YouTube channel where she bosses all things, fashion, makeup, and lifestyle, though, according to her, things are beginning to improve.
“I would say that adoption [of YouTube] has been gradual, especially when compared to other platforms where we often create short-form content,” she tells
WeeTracker .

“In the past two years, however, creators like me have seen a sharp increase in the number of viewers viewing from Nigeria and that gives us hope.”

I am considering shooting shot videos very creative videos in a very good natural environment like Olumo rock and a certain cave in Enugu state. Just natural environment. Secondly I am also considering cutting and editing any type of informative talks, videos, plays or anything that can appease the audience.

With tools of gathering more viewers by always sponsoring a good video to go viral.

You know nothing. Besides, I've been living outside of Nigeria for several yrs. What do you mean? I don't see my coming generation living in a white man land like I do today.

My generation would end dual citizenship right because we're gradually finding our way to that level where both western returnings would mean nothing but those seeking better lives just like their fathers migrated to western countries. Either you believe it or4

not, that's how it's going to be

If that's the case teach your kids going back home is the ultimate...I also live outside but my kids speak fluent Yoruba..n we go home every year...if not for covid, we would av been in osun state in April or may this year

Well, is a cool one. We ready to partner with you and give you the platform. And ofcourse, we share the revenue.
