There is a familiar point in the career of a Nigerian internet celebrity when the skits, livestreams and viral clips stop feeling like enough. The camera is still there, the audience is still growing, but suddenly there is a song. Carter Efe made the move in 2022 with Machala, a Wizkid tribute that became one... Read More
When Uber launched in Lagos in 2014, ride-hailing felt like one of those changes that could make living in a difficult city slightly easier. You could request a car from your phone, see the driver’s details, and pay without negotiating at the roadside. Abuja followed in 2016, and the model spread. For many people, Uber... Read More
Titanic spent years as the highest-grossing film in the world, then returned to the top after re-releases. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has taken a very different route to the record books. In just five weekends, Tom Holland’s fourth solo Spider-Man film has moved past Titanic worldwide, reaching roughly $2.33 billion and becoming the fourth-highest-grossing movie... Read More
The Mavo-Davrel fallout has quickly become another internet spectacle, complete with leaked chats, livestream accusations and people on X picking sides before the full story has even settled. But beneath the jokes is a question that keeps returning whenever an artist becomes successful: what happens to the friendships built before the money, visibility and access... Read More
Poco Lee’s case has brought an uncomfortable question back into focus for Nigeria’s creative economy: what happens to a creator’s income when their entire business is tied to their public image? The Nigerian dancer and hypeman, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, is due before Snaresbrook Crown Court in London on September 15 for... Read More
Nigerian theatre is having a strange moment. Lagos can fill a theatre for a weekend, sell out a Christmas production and attract audiences willing to pay serious money for live performances. Then the show ends, the cast goes back to other jobs and the audience waits months for another production. Theatre has an audience. What... Read More
For generations of Nigerians, America has existed somewhere between ambition and insurance policy.

There is a strange contradiction in the way Nigerians watch television today. We complain that local series rarely give us enough episodes to get properly attached, then spend weeks watching Turkish dramas, Korean series and foreign procedurals that stretch across dozens of episodes. We will follow one family, one detective or one love story for... Read More
There was a time when watching Nigerian television was built into the day. Tinsel had been running for years, The Johnsons became a family favourite, and Jenifa’s Diary gave viewers another reason to sit in front of the television every week. You knew the characters, remembered their arguments and could walk into a conversation about... Read More

Victony dropped his sophomore album STARLIFE in the early hours of Friday morning, landing on top of a stretch where “Slick” did something most Afrobeats songs never manage. It travelled on its own. No forced remix with a bigger name attached to push it into new markets, no manufactured moment engineered by a label’s international... Read More
For more than four decades, Angélique Kidjo has built the kind of career that once offered African artists one of the few reliable routes to global recognition: leave home, enter international music circuits, earn the attention of established institutions and keep going long enough for those institutions to eventually acknowledge you. On August 18, the... Read More
YouTube and Netflix are increasingly competing for something neither platform traditionally owned: the creators who built their audiences elsewhere. Reports that YouTube is offering selected top creators multi-million-dollar incentives to keep them from taking exclusive deals with Netflix point to a shift in the creator economy. Platforms are no longer just competing for viewers; they... Read More
