From humble beginnings in Lagos to becoming a household name across Africa, Oga Duke has grown his platform to over 300,000 loyal followers in just two years, using a powerful mix of humor, fashion, and heartfelt storytellingto connect with global audiences. With their now-viral comedy sketches, matching outfits, and Duke's signature voiceovers, the dynamic duo has brought a fresh, emotionally resonant voice to the digital space and to the cause of animal welfare.
But behind the internet fame lies a deeply personal story. Osoba adopted Duke during a difficult period of grief, following the loss of a close family member. What began as a healing journey soon evolved into a mission.
"No one was speaking up for these little fur babies in Nigeria," Osoba said in a recent interview. "People look at you like you are crazy for showing love to an animal. I wanted to change that narrative."
Facing early criticism and online bullying, including being labeled "jobless" for caring deeply about his pet, Osoba persevered. Within six months, his content with Duke had captured Africa's attention, leading to a YouTube partnership and growing influence that now extends into advocacy for animal rights in Nigeria and beyond.
"People hate what they don't understand," he says. "So I let them see the world through Duke's eyes."
The pair made headlines during Duke's birthday celebration, where their matching agbada outfits, a traditional Yoruba attire, quickly went viral and cemented their image as cultural icons.
Now recognized as Africa's most prominent pet influencer, Oga Duke is pioneering a new wave of content creation on the continent. He is also setting the standard for how brands can engage with pet-loving audiences in Africa, a rapidly growing demographic, and creating space for meaningful discussions around empathy, emotional well-being, and animal rights.
"The goal is to give animals a voice in Africa," Osoba affirms. "We have a long way to go, but we're on the right path."
As pet influencing gains traction across Africa, Oga Duke and Duke are not just leading the trend. They are redefining it. With a growing international fanbase and global brands beginning to take notice, their story is one of resilience, vision, and the power of unconditional love.
