Years after TikTok took us through the pandemic, we still find ourselves doomscrolling on the platform, looking for content to while away the time. But with the sheer number of creators — some 1.3 million of them, according to Social Blade — figuring out which accounts will actually crack you up can be a hassle.
That’s where we come in. On this list, we’ve curated the funniest Nigerian TikTokers you should be following right now. We tried to make the list as varied as possible, to match any sense of humour. Not to brag, but our picks can stand toe to toe with your favourite comedians.
Here are the 15 funniest Nigerian TikTokers you should follow now.
1. Gilmore
Gilmore tells wild and ridiculous stories about everyday life as an adult living in Lagos. Watching Gilmore’s videos is like experiencing an unending POV video of your reactions to life. Everything from life in boarding school to buying bread on credit has been the subject of his videos.
2. Zic Aloma
Zic Aloma finds his humour in archetypes of African parents, which he uses to create full-fletched skits that would not have been out of place in an early-aught Nollywood flick. His story of life in a “face me I face you” compound, which the actress Patience Ozokwor features in, has been viewed over 7.5 million times. If you love old Nollywood, you will love his content.
3. Hauwa Lawal
Hauwa Lawal has perfected the act of making social commentary in a way that cracks you up while also forcing you to think. The fall of the naira, life as a single woman in Nigeria, and the pressures young people face to get married have all been subjects of her content. If you’re looking for someone to help make sense of the world in the most ridiculous way, then she’s your girl.
4. Two Glazzes
With his content, Two Glazzes asks the public a simple question: what does it mean to be delulu all the time? He has the answers. If you want to know the POV of men who think they’re overly attractive or how low-budget tech bros see themselves, Two Glazzes’s TikTok is the account for you.
5. r0dn3y_
r0dn3y_ makes POV videos imagining what ordinary scenarios would look like from another perspective. A video where he reimagines what the tongue and teeth might be going through while chewing has been viewed 3.3 million times. He has made similar videos on being a primary school pupil, the feeling when a barber gets to the itchy spots on your head, and what secondary school students do during free periods. His content cleverly flips everyday moments into laugh-out-loud experiences.
6. Meshkieyy
Meshkieyy’s hard-to-watch TikToks are currently all the rage online. Although he has been making content for a while, in the last few months, his videos have been blowing up on TikTok — and for good reason. He makes hilariously cringe videos about life as a young man trying to survive in Lagos. His skits blend awkward everyday encounters with a sharp sense of observational humour that’s fast becoming his signature.

7. Layi Wasabi
The law. Layi Wasabi has maintained relevance as one of the funniest Nigerians on TikTok. One of his signature characters is a charge-and-bail lawyer who has no idea, most times, what he’s talking about, but delivers it with so much impunity that it cracks people up. What’s funnier is how he continues to find new victims. He has already introduced other characters, including the Prof, the Coach, and the Gym Bro. His content leans into satirical legalese and exaggerated professionalism, giving courtroom chaos a whole new meaning.
8. Simply Sayo
Take Simply Sayo seriously at your own risk. When she’s not reading the news or making confessionals on TikTok, she’s delivering what she calls kpoems — spoken word-style takes on wild experiences — as a means to tackle everything from toxic masculinity to 50/50 bill splits among couples. Her content feels like a chaotic TED Talk wrapped in vibes and delivered with a side of dry humour.
9. Beverly Adaeze
Beverly makes viral “X be like” videos on TikTok. She has made videos about Black people hiking, gynaecologists at work, and what comes to mind when she sees a video of a person with long hair (how much it would cost as extensions). Her content is a running commentary on the random, hilarious thoughts that live rent-free in her head — and if you follow her, in yours too.
10. Chisomdaveed
Chisom has takes for days. How does one have beef with people that don’t know they exist? She has the answers. Her takedown of men who say they’d rather marry a man than a woman who doesn’t know how to cook is particularly epic. If you love sharp, sarcastic takes on gender discourse, this is where you’ll find them.
11. Ini Cash
Ini Cash makes POV videos on what it means to live on your phone. In his videos, he recreates the reactions of people who go online and realise that life has continued without them. He has made videos on everything from checking if the couples you stalk on social media are still together to reacting to comments after your partner posts cute pictures of you. His content taps into the paranoia, obsession, and the comedy of online relationships.
12. Kenzy Udosen
What if you could say what you feel about people to their faces? On Kenzy’s TikTok, you can live that — and also see their reactions. In a video he made about people who do “new year, new me,” he blasted what he perceived to be hypocrisy in the comments. As he calls it, “The only new thing about the new year is that you’re getting older.”
13. sharon.ephraim_
Sharon doesn’t shy away from criticising other creators on TikTok with her skits. In particular, a series she does called “Egungun and His Baddies” has been very popular on the platform. With the series, she makes a caricature of the content creator known as Egungun asking women weird questions about their sex lives. It’s fun to watch.
14. Neekahs
There are very few people as funny as Neekahs on TikTok these days. Her recreation of viral audio is a must-watch for anyone looking for a good laugh. What makes her videos stand out, and very hilarious, is how perfectly she captions what might very well be the facial expressions of the people speaking in the audio. Even though we can’t see them, we trust Neekahs will always bring them to life.
15. Xxximogen
You only need to watch the video of Imogen trying to pronounce Moët Chandon to understand why he’s on this list — and why you should follow him ASAP on TikTok. In his videos, he makes funny reactions from the neighbour’s POV to everything from someone trying to charge their phone at the next house, to his savage response to people acting like Priscilla Ojo and her husband’s wedding wasn’t their cup of tea.
