The video for ‘Nobody’ is pure fun. TG Omori fills it with bright colours, smooth dance moves, and playful energy.

9. Seyi Vibez – Shaolin (2023)
In this music video, Boy Director brilliantly blends Seyi Vibez’s street-hop sound with martial arts aesthetics. The video is set in dark, smoky scenes that remind you of old-school kung fu movies. Seyi Vibez appears as a serious, warrior-like character, a new and bold look for him. The concept shows how versatile TG Omori is, proving he can mix different styles to tell fresh stories.
8. Teni – Hustle (2022)
The video stands out because of its relatable story. We see Teni in simple clothes, living everyday Nigerian life and showing the quiet pride that comes with hard work. But the most powerful part is when she’s shown inside a car underwater. It’s a strong image that represents how the hustle can feel like you’re drowning or struggling to breathe. That moment captures the tough times people face before success, giving the video a deeper meaning beyond fancy visuals.
7. Kizz Daniel & Tekno – Buga Lo Lo (2022)

TG Omori filled the screen with bright colours, beautiful costumes, and energetic dancers. The video perfectly captured the song’s joyful spirit and helped turn it into a worldwide dance craze.
6. Naira Marley & Zlatan – Am I A Yahoo Boy (2019)
This is the very moment TG Omori’s career truly took off, transforming him into the industry’s most in-demand director. This visual project was a highly controversial and incredibly effective response to a major, real-time event. Released immediately following Naira Marley’s widely publicized issues with the EFCC, Omori capitalized on the breaking news, using the visual medium to send a bold message. The video was gritty, unapologetic, and perfectly captured the raw, unfiltered energy of the streets at a pivotal moment of national tension. It also set a defiant visual tone for the Marlian movement. Omori loudly announced his presence in the industry as a director unafraid of risk, relevance, and controversy.
5. Teni – Billionaire (2019)
‘Billionaire’ is one of TG Omori’s best and funniest story-driven videos. It follows Teni’s dream of becoming rich, filled with funny scenes and big, dramatic moments, including a clever remake of ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ game show featuring Frank Edoho himself, and even a mock political campaign. It feels like a short movie that perfectly matches the song’s message about chasing success. The video remains a fan favourite for both its humour and creativity
4. Fireboy DML & Asake – Bandana (2022)
This video for ‘Bandana’ was set in a broken-down world, it shows Fireboy DML leading a group of followers in a powerful, almost spiritual revolution. Omori went all out by building huge sets like a church in a deserted land and using top-quality effects, including a floating, customized Peugeot. The video mixes religion and action, perfectly matching the song’s message about faith, strength, and ambition. It stands out as one of Omori’s boldest works.
