“The Ghost and the Tout”: Crown Toyin Abraham ratchet comedy extraordinaire

Let’s quickly establish something: Toyin Abraham’s movies aren’t meant for everyone, but her audience is always there to gulp them. So throw your intelligent critiques out the window when Abraham furnishes theatres with ratchet comedies that are loud, scatterbrained, and caustically funny. Also, there’s the perfected art of her movie branding and the profitable liaison... Read More

EbonyLife TV is taking Andre Blaze Henshaw’s sexual assault allegation very seriously

With #MeToo still running its course, I’m beginning to think that sexual assault cases go through four stages. First with the incident of the sexual assault, the reporting on social media by victims as they re-process their trauma, the denial from the accused and investigation from the appropriate bodies, and a resolution which might not...

JOHESU

How will President Buhari care about the JOHESU strike when his doctors are British?

The ongoing workers strike which has paralyzed the nation’s health sector has remained unresolved despite several attempts by stakeholders to prevent the strike, and negotiate a compromise that works for the government and the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU). It is on record that the federal government entered into an agreement with JOHESU in September... Read More

If President Buhari and the Nigerian Senate cannot call Ibrahim Idris to order, who can?

The war of attrition between the Nigerian Senate and the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris is getting messier and it is time President Muhammadu Buhari intervenes before it is too late. Nigeria’s democracy consists of three arms of Government; the executive, the legislature and the judiciary; and while each arm performs unique functions and... Read More

The Music Video of Most High by Nosa and Nathaniel Bassey is here and it’s a minimalist attempt at reviving its airplay

Christian music, like any other material or resource, generally have a church rotation/airplay span of a few months (if it’s a really good song and by a popular artiste) and a few weeks if it’s an average artist. The airplay period is the span of time in which the song filters through church pulpits, playlists... Read More

Yomi Black is trying his hands on TV with his hotel thriller “Room 420″

In 2016, fledgling comic Yomi Black experimented with celebrity-featured skits, a variety of digitized comedy that has become pop-culturally omnipresent these days. Some of these skits had modest reception, but the breakthrough came for Black via the viral success of Sunday and Lolade, a skit featuring actress Kiki Omeli and Black himself. Adapted for the...

Tope Oshin’s new film ‘We don’t live here anymore’ is taking on the LGBT YA canon

It is always a time for rejoicing whenever Tope Oshin has a new project out. Over the last two decades, young adult related entertainment has gone from fringe concern for artists, writers and filmmakers to one of the most lucrative subgenres that exist. It has made authors like J.K Rowling and Suzanne Collins into billionaires... Read More

Andre Blaze Henshaw’s sexual assault allegation, and the problem with male-centred talk shows like “Men’s Corner”

I began to follow writer and activist Olutimehin Adegbeye on social media during the Aziz Ansari sexual assault allegation, precipitated by the website Babe.net. Someone had reposted her tweets about Ansari onto my timeline, and I thought them to be interesting and complex and refreshingly luminous. Olutimehin belongs to a visible pantheon of young feminists... Read More

The problem is not Pastor Adeboye’s social media handlers. It’s him

If the internet (Twitter in particular) is anything to go by, the year has been a long, joyless and “banter-full” year for Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer worldwide of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). Ever since a tweet that went viral late last year during the Annual Congress of the church, Pastor Adeboye... Read More

David Oyedepo, David Abioye and the untold story of Ministry Bromance

Nigeria, the Christian community especially, is such a strange place to have a system of platonic and self-sacrificing friendship between two men. So, we’d call it all sorts – mentorship, strategic friendship, spiritual father and son, prayer partners, rather than exactly it is, in most cases – bromance. And this is why stories like Ruth and...

Ready for a new Jordan Peele horror movie? I can definitely say that I am! Since directing the phenomenal, horror-satire 2017 film Get Out, and making history by winning the award for Best Original Screenplay at the 2018 Oscars, Peele seemed to have gone on a low profile. When, recently, fallen rap god and “free... Read More
