Analysts say Eze’s feat underscores a wider shift in Nigeria’s creator economy. “It’s proof that spirituality-driven content can compete head-to-head with entertainment for both audience loyalty and monetization,” observed Bukola Adewuyi, a Lagos-based media consultant.
Eze, who launched the prayer platform in 2020, has not publicly commented on the Playboard ranking, but his team has previously acknowledged that income from YouTube supports the ministry’s outreach and charitable projects.
Eze’s rise reflects how faith-based digital content is transforming Nigeria’s online landscape and revenue streams.
