Niniola is read about 31 times a day, in 15 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 15 October 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?Niniola turned a reality-show run into a lane of her own - Afro-house with a Lagos pulse, built on a voice that doesn't ask for space.
In their own words 10
, During secondary school days, I started entertaining my friends during lunchtime...I had a sort of request songs and I would sing.
I'm glad I can be comfortable as an African and singing my YouTube language when I drop songs, I drop beat songs.
Maradona was a hit song when I dropped the video I and my team members knew it was a hit song for me but didn't know it was a master jam.

Niniola Apata was born on 15 December 1986 in Nigeria. She competed in the sixth season of Project Fame West Africa in 2013, which put her in the national spotlight but not yet on her own terms. The following year she released "Ibadi", her debut single, and the track carried enough spark to earn her a nomination for Most Promising Act to Watch at the 2015 Nigeria Entertainment Awards. What followed was a steady claim on Afro-house - a sound she's made unmistakably hers.
