My experience shooting a video with the Okoyas ? Missdemz

By Ayo Onikoyi

Popular lifestyle and entertainment content creator Oluwademilade Abimbola, better known as Missdemz, has opened up about her experience when she shot a video with members of the popular Okoya family. The content titled “A day in the life of a billionaire’s daughter” had the daughter of the billionaire industrialist, Oyin, and Missdemz as the main characters, while the wife, Shade, and son, Raheem, made an appearance in the video.

Part of her experiences post-production, though, was getting congratulatory messages, which she said she found strange until later when she eventually understood what it meant.

Missdemz, born and bred in the United Kingdom and recently relocated to Nigeria, shared this, among other things, during a chat.

Speaking about how the video, which made waves, came into being.

“It?s crazy because I didn?t know the video was going to do that well. I like to stay humble when I do things, and I did it because it was fun for me. I am very grateful because Oyin was the one who said we should do something together. We connected on TikTok, so one day she sent a DM that we should do something together, but she was in London, and I said no problem. Then I started thinking about what to do, and I eventually came up with the idea of ?A day in the life of a billionaire?s daughter.? So that was the video that we did, and honestly, it was so good. The family was so nice; everybody was so nice. I had known her brother, Raheem, on an occasion I was in Nigeria. I met him through a friend, Moses (ODN). He?s another YouTuber; he?s from London. So by the time I came to their house to do content with the sister, he now jumped on the video. So funny, the video was not really planned; everything was kind of spontaneous.”

Perhaps due to the difference in the culture of this part of the world and where she was groomed, she really didn?t find anything special in shooting a video with the Okoyas, so she found it strange when she started getting congratulatory messages for the feat. However, she got to understand why she got a barrage of such messages.

“It?s really good. People tell me that they love the video. They said it?s the best Okoya video that they have seen, and people are congratulating me, and I didn?t understand the congratulations at first. I was like, “I have videos like this now,” then I discovered it’s because the Okoya family is very big and prominent; they don?t really let people get close to them, so I feel so appreciative of the fact that, of all the people, you saw something in me and you said you want to work with this girl, and even Aunty being in our video. I am so grateful. Aunty gave me clothes to take home?oh my God. She gave me clothes and Eleganza gift boxes. I took home like twelve packets of soap?oh my God? I was so happy.” She said.

On another note, Abimbola bears a striking resemblance to Tiwa Savage.

“The high is that it?s a compliment. She?s very beautiful, so if somebody is saying that I look like her, that means I am fine. So, I love that. The low is that men want to use that to come at me. Anytime I see a man asking me if I have been told I look like her, I know they want to come at me. They want to use that to start a conversation, so I keep a straight face or change the topic so I can escape it all.”

Oluwademila Abimbola, a graduate of criminology from Middlesex University, United Kingdom, became an entrepreneur by opening a hair business in the UK immediately after schooling before she went on to become a YouTuber and creative director.
