Uche Pedro, Aliko Dangote, Veekee Jmaes, TY Bello, Tems, Ruth Kadiri, Davido, and Shade Okoya and more have made Chude Jideonwo’s #TheJoy150 list for 2024. This list celebrates those who’ve had a major influence across music, business, fashion, and film — shaping the cultural landscape in Nigeria in ways that will be remembered.
The announcement of this year’s honourees came in a special episode of #WithChude where Chude was joined by Emmanuel Taymesan, OAP Dotun, and actress and producer Nwakaego Boyo, to discuss the impact these individuals have made.
What stands out about this list is not just their achievements, but the diverse ways in which each honouree has shaped Nigerian culture in 2024. These individuals are the change makers, trailblazers, and visionaries whose work will continue to leave a lasting imprint well beyond 2024.
