Falzthebahdguy
Although a trained lawyer, Falzthebahdguy popularly referred to as
'Falz' is a musician and comedian with a large number of followers on
Instagram. His kind of comedy is such that he mimics an illiterate
Yoruba person. He does this by switching from simple English to a
heavy, complex Yoruba accent which is certain to get ribs cracking.
Most sensational was his #ellobae movement which was all the rage,
confirming his status as an instagram celebrity.
Theonlychigurl
"How is ya market?" "E knooorr…", these are favourite slangs
attributed to a comedienne popularly referred to as Chigul. She
started comedy by recording voice notes on Blackberry Messenger (BBM)
and sharing with friends. Her craft is such that she airs her opinion
on certain issues with a heavy Igbo accent, twisting her English such
that she sounds like the stereotypical ibo illiterate. While there are
so many other comedians making jokes by mimicking the accent, what
sets Chigul apart is her ability to write rib cracking songs.
Samtakesoff

list. Undoubtedly one of the accounts with the largest Nigerian
followers, his video posts are unique and give a fresh twist to
Nigerian stereotypes. He even has several fan pages as well. If you
are stuck in traffic or you are stressed out after a long day, click
on one of his videos and you will be laughing out loud in no time.
Chief_Obi
A huge Instagram celebrity here in Nigeria, Chief_Obi's comedy is very
unique. The Port Harcourt boy who has several fan pages on Instagram,
centers most of his jokes on African parents as well as family
relationships and drama; his favorite being father and son issues. In
spite of the fact that his videos entertain and crack you up, it
brings to focus minor details of family relationships that people tend
to brush aside as normal and turns them to humor.
K10vids
A rising comedy star, K10's videos are more like Falz's, seeing as he
sometimes mimics the local Yoruba accent. While his comedy is not
specific, most of his videos reveal his opinion on an events that take
place across the country. K10 boldly claims to be a Nollywood
enthusiast whose hero is Nkem Owoh aka Osuofia.
