A Channels Television’s video has topped a list of “Top 10 Videos watched in Nigeria in 2014 (Non-Music), as rated by YouTube.
The hugely viral video, ‘Chibok Girls: First Lady Breaks Down In Tears‘, published in May, topped the list in a report released within the week entitled “YouTube Rewind: Top videos watched in Nigeria in 2014″.
The report read: “As an eventful 2014 comes to a close, it’s time to take our annual look at the videos, moments and channels that shaped our year.
“The 2014 list which includes the biggest viral hits from the most popular channels in the country show that individuals and teams from Nigeria’s creative industries have recognised, and are taking advantage of the growing power of trending videos to drive pop culture like never before”.
“Chibok Girls: First Lady Breaks Down In Tears”, which beat other news-related videos like ‘Arik Air’s flight from Hell’ and ‘Nigeria girls ‘shown’ in Boko Haram video’ to 9th and 10th positions.
In the video, the Nigerian First Lady, Patience Jonathan, broke down in tears during a meeting with stakeholders from a school in Chibok, Borno State, where some over 200 schoolgirls were abducted in April.
It is the second year in a row that news-related content created by Channels Television would go viral, and into the Top 10 list after “Oga at the Top” became 2013’s number 2 most watched video.
YouTube also published videos in other categories.
Other Equally Popular Videos
A look at Nigerian music favourites for 2014 reveals that while Nigerians joined the global community in catching Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda “bug”, it is music from top Nigerian stars that kept us dancing through the year.
Topping other equally popular videos like ‘Dorobucci’ by Mavins, ‘Wanted’ by Tiwa Savage, ‘Ikwokrikwo’ by Flavour and ‘Surulere’ by Dr. Sid to become the most watched musical video in Nigeria in 2014 is the widely popular track ‘Aye’ by Davido. Note-worthy is the fact that ‘Anaconda’ was the only track on the list that is not Nigerian.
Globally, the world watched the Mutant Giant Spider dog more than 110 million times, making it the top trending video of 2014. First Kiss, iPhone 6 bend test and the recently released 10 hours as a woman in NYC which sparked off a ‘Walking as a woman’ series on YouTube are some of the other videos that made it to the list.
In the category that Channels Television’s video topped, Helen Paul Gets Her Deliverance After Jim Iyke stood at number two while “No Man Can Resist My Body…” – SATANIC SEDUCTION was at the third position. Below are a list of the video in the category that Channels Television featured in and others as published by YouTube.
