Who is Korty EO: Her Origins
Eniola Stella-Maris Olanrewaju (popularly called Korty EO) is a fashion model, YouTuber, graphic designer, design instructor, and filmmaker. She is widely known for her viral YouTube channel named ‘Flow, with Korty’. Born in April 1998, she is an indigene of Lagos State – where she was also born. She is the middle child of three children; she has an elder brother and a younger sister.
She grew up in Lagos, where it is presumed she did her primary and secondary schooling (though it is not confirmed). However, multiple sources have confirmed she graduated from the University of Ibadan in 2018 with a degree in Computer Science.
Korty EO’s father is said to be a (visual) artist, which obviously impacted her in a significant way. She reportedly began exploring her passion for design work and the Arts as early as at eight years old. But she went even further with it. At present, she is skilled in the use of CorelDraw and Microsoft Paint.
Korty EO: Her Career as a Model

Korty EO’s Training Years as a Video Editor
Following her graduation from the university, Korty EO returned to Lagos. And in March 2018, she took up the job of a video producer at Zikoko magazine. She proceeded from there to work with Nigerian singer, Mr. Eazi at emPawa Africa as Head of Content in January 2020. Her combined experiences at both firms helped her to develop her video production skills, which later empowered her to create her YouTube channel.
Korty EO’s Famous YouTube Projects
Korty EO’s YouTube channel (which she created in 2019) went alive with her very first video in July 2020. Then she started her YouTube video series titled ‘Flow, with Korty’ in November 2020. She embarked on conducting and uploading various interviews with Nigerian celebrities – the likes of Ayra Starr, Don Jazzy, Wizkid, Rema, Ashley Okoli, Blaqbonez, and Nike Okeowo. And in December 2020, she resigned from emPawa Africa to focus on her YouTube channel.
Korty EO embarked on another adventurous series on her YouTube channel titled ‘Love or Lies’ in January 2022. It has gathered well over 1.3 million views so far. The series is a reality show collection, which documents the real-life experiences of randomly-paired partners who agree to go out on dates.
‘Love or Lies’ is produced in Lagos. The YouTuber strives to create an environment as relaxed as possible for the participants. As such, it encourages them to speak on their experiences, without feelings of shame. There was even an episode where Korty EO interviewed youths within the age bracket of 15 and 20 years. She sought to know why they liked sex so much (if they do). She even tried to find out about the issue of ‘body count’ (number of sex partners).
The major attraction of Korty EO’s YouTube videos is in a no-holds barred, direct style of capturing celebrities and people – in their truest natures. A glimpse into the real life and ideologies of her interviewees is so appealing, and her followers can easily relate to it. She is known to take on sensitive topics in order to sample the genuine viewpoints of her guests. They include topics on sex, religion, relationships, LGBTQ+, and other topics that are often sidelined or avoided in Nigeria’s conservative society. Furthermore, she is able to capture the restless, vibrant nature of Lagos.
She has also worked hard to project Nigerian culture and society to the world, in her informative and yet entertaining videos. And she does so by revealing her own personal perspective and experiences, along with that of scores of other Nigerians. Korty EO’s YouTube channel has garnered over 290,000 followers and 8 million views as we speak.
However, Korty EO revealed in a recent interview that she is yet to produce a true film. And that is in spite of her experience in film production. Virtually all her videos are in documentary form, where she catalogs her experiences alongside that of her guests (according to her).
