Niko Omilana
Nikolas Daniel Adegbajumo Omilana (/ˈnɪ.koʊ ɒ.mɪˈlɑː.nə/ NI-koh o-mi-LAH-nə; born 4 March 1998) is a British YouTuber, influencer, and perennial political candidate. He is known for posting prank videos on YouTube and running as an independent candidate in the 2021 London mayoral election and the 2024 UK general election, being unsuccessful in both elections. He is also known for being a part of the Beta Squad YouTube group. Omilana has also competed in several charity football matches, including Soccer Aid and multiple Sidemen charity matches.
Nikolas Daniel Adegbajumo Omilana was born on 4 March 1998 in London to an English mother and a Yoruba Nigerian father. After their divorce, Omilana grew up in Stafford, West Midlands.
Omilana created his YouTube account, "Niko Omilana", in June 2011. He uploaded his first video in 2014 and started uploading comedy skits, parody, and challenge videos. In an interview in October 2019, he cited British YouTuber KSI as his inspiration to start making content on YouTube.
In May 2018, Omilana went viral after he uploaded a video titled "UNDERCOVER As A RACIST For 24 HOURS" in which he went undercover as a racist to troll and mock supporters of a far-right organisation, the English Defence League (EDL), during their protest in Telford, Shropshire. Later in December 2018, Omilana uploaded another prank video, continuing his previous EDL prank video, in which he trolled one of the co-founders of the EDL and far-right activist, Tommy Robinson, to promote Omilana's brand and merch, the NDL (Niko Defence League).
In 2019, Omilana created and joined the Beta Squad, a British YouTube collective group, along with fellow British YouTubers Chunkz, AJ Shabeel, Sharky, and KingKennyTV. In February 2019, it was also announced that the group would be living together in a £4 million mansion in London, where they would create daily content for social media platforms.
On 28 August 2019, he reached one million subscribers on YouTube. In November 2019, Omilana went viral after he attempted to sneak into the KSI vs. Logan Paul II boxing re-match and enter the ring. In December 2019, Omilana appeared on Business Insider's list of "20 YouTube channels you should really subscribe to in 2020". In 2020, Omilana was nominated for a Shorty Award for Breakout YouTuber at the 12th Shorty Awards, losing to Alexandra Mary Hirschi.
Omilana was the subject of controversy in 2022 due to a 2021 video showing conditions within a poultry farm. Animal rights activists investigated the same location two months later and found living conditions for chickens to be considerably worse than those depicted in Omilana's video. Omilana's agency said, “Whilst we take these allegations very seriously and will speak with KFC about these claims, the filming that our client took part in accurately reported the conditions he saw and experienced on the day.”
In May 2022, Omilana went viral after he uploaded a video titled "I Pranked America's Most Racist Man", in which he disguised himself as a journalist for the BBC and travelled to Harrison, Arkansas, to prank Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, Thomas Robb into saying "BLM" (short for the anti-racist slogan "Black Lives Matter") on camera during a fake interview.
