Chukwudike Damian Akuwudike Chijioke, popularly known as Iamdikeh, is a multi-talented artist who juggles his passion for acting with the potential for a football career. Raised and born in Surulere, Lagos, but from Mbaise, Imo State, Dikeh grew up in a peaceful household of five. The untimely passing of his father in 2019 only spurred him on to keep pushing, and his partnership with his younger brother, Chinedu Michael, has helped him go far in the content creation industry. The two have produced skits that tug the heartstrings, but also leave one in laughter if not stitches; a delicate balance not easily achieved.

8. Top 10 TikTokers In Nigeria: Samskid
Uzoemeka Clinton Ogemdi, better known as Samskid, has carved a niche for himself in Nigerian content creation through silent skits that speak volumes. He hails from and was brought up in Imo State, and he conveys deep feelings without saying a word through facial expressions and body language. He began creating videos while he was studying Urban and Regional Planning at FUTO, and soon enough, he had an audience that related to his life-told tales of love, pain, greed, and friendship. His decision to stick to being a non-verbal artist was ambitious, but it was worth it, earning him over 8 million followers on TikTok and the nickname “Greatest Actor of All Time.”
While his path wasn’t smooth, rejections from other artists and no initial traction did not stop him. Instead, he kept creating, driven by belief in his talent and love for telling stories. Samskid’s videos are short but effective, with emotional twists towards the end of his videos that get viewers. He has collaborated with other artists like Adeviral and sometimes features Mayre Crown on his videos. Estimated to have a net worth of USD 70,000, he has turned content into a career and an example for upcoming creators who wish to thrive without expecting the traditional platforms.
