TikTok Creator Osagie Osakue Shares Everyday Nigerian Life with Global Audience

Osagie Mathias Osakue, a 20-year-old content creator from Nigeria, has built a large following on TikTok by documenting everyday moments of family life and personal expression. Known by his online alias O2M, Osakue’s videos often centre on unscripted interactions, drawing more than 1.2 million followers and over 25 million likes on the platform.

Born in Cotonou, Benin Republic, and raised in Nigeria, Osakue represents a growing wave of African creators using digital platforms to share relatable, culturally grounded content. Unlike the fast-paced or highly stylised content that often dominates social media, his videos tend to feature quiet, observational moments—frequently involving his siblings or close family members.

Several of his videos have reached over 10 million views, reflecting wide engagement with his understated approach. His content, which avoids controversy and political commentary, has contributed to a broader shift among African influencers towards authenticity and personal storytelling.

As African content creators continue to shape online narratives, Osakue’s work highlights how digital platforms are being used to share local experiences with a global audience—without spectacle or sensationalism.
