By Benjamin Abioye
Nigerians have proven their influence once again, claiming a whopping 18 out of the top 30 spots on Africa’s trending chart with Wizkid being the number one on the trending list.
Let’s break down the list in a fun and engaging way!
Wizkid Reigns Supreme
Guess who’s number one? None other than Nigerian music icon, Wizkid! With his new album, Morayo, and his fiery back-and-forth with Davido, Wizkid has kept everyone talking all year. The buzz around him is unstoppable, and his spot at the top feels well-earned.
President William Ruto Secures Second Place
Kenya’s President William Ruto comes in at number two. His year has been eventful, to say the least. From massive protests in Kenya over tax hikes to rejecting a controversial Bill in June, Ruto has had a rollercoaster year that kept him in the headlines.
Davido Holds It Down at Number Three
The ever-vibrant Davido takes the third spot, capping off a year filled with personal and professional milestones. His wedding to Chioma, fondly dubbed “Chivido 2024,” stole the spotlight in June, making it one of the most talked-about events of the year.
Who Else Made the Top 10?
The list continues with big names like Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at number four and business mogul Aliko Dangote in fifth place. Kenyan political heavyweight Raila Odinga, internet-breaking crossdresser Bobrisky, South African singer Tyla, Nigerian politician Peter Obi, and South African music star Liema Pantsi round off the top 10.
Surprises and Controversies
The list doesn’t shy away from drama. Baltasar Engonga, a former Equatorial Guinea public official, made waves after his private videos went viral, securing him a spot at number 24. And yes, fan favorites like Rema, Asake, and even Pastor Enoch Adeboye also earned their places on this fascinating list.
