YNaija.com, the internet newspaper for young Nigerians has released the definitive list of the most influential people in media under 40.
The 2016 #YNaijaPowerList is a honour roll of the most powerful young Nigerians who have excelled in the media industry. From the Guardian Newspapers Executive Director, Toke Ibru, to Pulse.ng’s Editor-in-Chief, Osagie Alonge, to the indisputable queen of blogging in Africa, Linda Ikeji – the list pulls together those who hold the levers in Nigeria’s media space.
The #YNaijaPowerList which launched on Monday, 1 August, 2016 with the release of its Entertainment and Technology shortlist will run through the week with Advocacy, Culture, Fashion & Style, Social Media, Politics and more on the roll call.
The #YNaijaPowerList is an annual showcase of those who have gone beyond their own careers and their own empires, to influence trends, leading on success, and driving people to action.
From savvy publishers to the ‘Bruce Lee of visuals’ – these are the most powerful in Nigeria’s media space
Kemi Adetiba
Only Kemi Adetiba can gather formidable women like TaiwoAjai-Lycett, TY Bello and Chioma ‘Chigul’ Omeruah and get them to speak, confessional style about deeply personal life events. Her King Women series, yet to launch officially, got the Internet buzzing big time. Her music videos are almost always minor industry events. In recent times, Adetiba has worked on visual marvels like Lindsey Abudei’s Out the magazine and Sound Sultan’s Hello Baale.
  Linda Ikeji

Everyone’s favourite girl next door has continued to build on the runaway success of her eponymous brand. Asides from taking delivery of a brand new luxurious mansion in highbrow Banana Island, Lagos, Ikeji’s blog continues to be the place to go for breaking news, celebrity culture and gossip. Indeed for millions of Nigerians, it is not confirmed gist until it has been picked up by Linda Ikeji. Her give back project, ‘I’d rather be self-made’ helps young girls along their road to entrepreneurship.
