Gulma TV: The Strange Little Brand That’s Everywhere but Nowhere
You ever stumble onto a website that feels like an empty storefront, but then realize the whole thing is alive and thriving somewhere else? That’s Gulma TV—a brand with no real “home,” yet somehow all over YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook.
The Website That Barely Exists
Type gulmatv.com into a browser and you’ll find… basically nothing. Just a cgi-bin directory hanging out on a LiteSpeed web server. No videos. No “About Us.” Not even a logo.
But that ghost town of a website doesn’t mean Gulma TV is dead. It’s just shifted the action elsewhere.
The Comedy Corner on YouTube
Gulma TV’s YouTube channel, better known as Dakin Gulma TV, feels like peeking into someone’s living room—if that living room had a camera, a punchline, and a lot of Hausa humor.
There’s a video called “I PHONE 11 PRO MAX kalli sabon comedy.” Over 3,000 people have watched this skit, which riffs on iPhones and daily life in a way that doesn’t need subtitles to get the joke.
Another clip, “KISHIN NIGERIA KO DAI BUSINESS,” mixes social commentary with comedy—think of it like if “The Daily Show” was filmed in Kano with a smaller budget but sharper cultural wit.
The view counts aren’t massive—most videos hover in the hundreds or low thousands—but the channel’s got energy. The kind that feels like it could pop off if the right video hits at the right moment.
Facebook: The Town Square
On Facebook, Gulma TV turns into something more like a community notice board.
The page isn’t just comedy clips—it supported “Happiness at Kofar Wambai,” an event in Kano, back in 2020. That means this isn’t just digital fluff; it’s tied to real-world gatherings.
There’s also a Dakin Gulma TV group with around 1,100 members. It’s run by folks like Shamsu Teego, who posts, moderates, and keeps the thing from turning into total chaos.
This side of Gulma TV feels less like a brand and more like a neighborhood hangout where the same 20 people always show up but everyone knows them by name.
TikTok’s Wild Reach
Here’s where things get weird—in the best way.
On TikTok, the tag “Gulma TV Nonuwan Video Babiana” has 11.9 million posts. Yes, million. That’s not niche. That’s tidal wave-level reach.
Not every post is from Gulma TV directly, of course. But TikTok has a way of turning small creators into trends. Some clip, joke, or reference tied to Gulma TV clearly caught fire.
It’s the kind of viral energy that can carry a small comedy channel from side project to household name if they figure out how to bottle it.
Instagram Keeps the Party Going
Over on Instagram, the handle @gulma_tv01 is doing what every creator does—leaning hard into hashtags.
Posts are sprinkled with #viral, #fyp, #trend. One post from March 2025 throws in Hausa slang alongside a wink at its followers:
“Kufadi ra ayin kune ba ra ayin Gulma tv bah…”
Translation isn’t really the point—it’s the vibe. It’s a wink and nod to anyone who gets the joke, and an invitation to anyone who doesn’t to come closer.
What Gulma TV Actually Does
Gulma TV isn’t trying to be CNN. It’s not even trying to be Netflix. It’s a mix of:
-
Comedy skits about everyday life, politics, and the oddities of being human.
-
Hausa music and culture, with shoutouts to artists like Nura M Inuwa woven into the content.
-
Community flavor, from supporting events in Kano to keeping group members chatting.
Imagine a small-town radio station that suddenly discovered YouTube and TikTok—that’s the feel.
Where It’s Going
Right now, Gulma TV is a scattered presence: TikTok buzz, a Facebook group, a YouTube channel, and an empty website.
That’s both its charm and its problem.
The charm? Gulma TV feels scrappy and local and real.
The problem? There’s no central hub. gulmatv.com could be that hub—but right now it’s just a lonely server directory.
How It Could Level Up
If Gulma TV wants to jump from “fun local project” to “serious brand,” a few things seem obvious:
-
Make the website real. Put videos, bios, merch—anything—to give people a reason to type gulmatv.com.
-
Stick to a schedule. Right now, uploads feel random. A predictable rhythm would build loyalty.
-
Ride the TikTok wave smartly. TikTok is already working for them. More behind-the-scenes content, challenges, and duets could turn that 11.9 million-tagged-post momentum into actual followers.
-
Think collaborations. Teaming up with other Hausa creators could explode their reach overnight.
The Bottom Line
Gulma TV is the kind of project that shouldn’t work—but does. There’s no slick website. The YouTube channel is small. Yet somehow, through humor, culture, and a touch of TikTok magic, the name keeps popping up.
It’s scrappy. It’s scattered. And it’s kind of brilliant.
