Bus Aunty, a Nigerian content creator, has received a special honour in the United Kingdom, with a bus stop named after her in London. The recognition comes after years of Bus Aunty turning her love for London buses into a distinctive online identity.
TfL Honours Nigerian Star
Bemi Orojuogun, popularly known as Bus Aunty, has been celebrated by Transport for London (TfL) for her unique content featuring London buses. Her videos often feature her standing at a strategic location as buses pass behind her, creating the impression that she is close to the vehicles.
Bus Aunty shared the news on Instagram, expressing her excitement and appreciation to TfL, the body responsible for London's public transport system. "Bus Aunty has her own bus stop! My goodness, I am very lucky. Thank you so much TFL. TFL, I love you very much. I love everyone who works so hard on behalf of all Londoners; we love everyone that work so hard, and we love you," she stated.
The Rise of Bus Aunty
Bus Aunty's unique content initially sparked concerns among viewers who questioned her safety. However, she later clarified that the apparent closeness was a result of the camera angle and video illusion, noting that she maintains a safe distance from the buses while filming. Her unusual content has since earned her a growing following and attracted the attention of major brands.
A Star on the Rise
The recognition from TfL comes after Bus Aunty recently achieved another milestone when she linked up with Nigerian music star Davido during his London tour. The meeting came after she had previously revealed that the singer was one of her dream collaborations. Bus Aunty shared behind-the-scenes footage of the memorable moment, including pictures with members of the TfL staff.
The honour from TfL is a testament to Bus Aunty's dedication to her craft and her ability to create unique and engaging content. Her rise to fame is a reminder that creativity and perseverance can take one a long way in today's digital age.
