The Sexuality Blog: Maria Ude Nwachi’s suspension from the Ebony House of Assembly is a reminder even power doesn’t isolate women from misogyny

One of the biggest news stories of the last week was the surprise suspension of Maria Ude Nwachi. Nwachi is a lawmaker, representing Afikpo North in Ebonyi State, one of the few lawmakers who was voted into office purely because she was strongly supported by her constituents. She is by no means a ‘regular’ female... Read More

[The Church Blog] Pastor Tony Rapu’s sermon at #WAFBEC2018 is the best thing we have heard all week (WATCH)

It’s been a long while since we saw Pastor Tony Rapu on a religious platform similar to the WAFBEC kind. His commitment to nation building, reformation and mentorship might have taken him away from public glare for a while. But, Tony Rapu has shown only recently that his silence might have been an opportunity to... Read More

[The Film Blog] The teaser for Tope Oshin’s “New Money” is here and it’s all about the money

They say money makes the world go round and new money is even better. In the hands of Toun Odumosu (Jemima Osunde), a lowly shop attendant living a simple existence, her newly acquired wealth bequeathed from her estranged, well-to-do father and how her world drastically changes all sounds familiar. Cinderella-esque, even. And this is the... Read More

[The Media Blog] A daily entertainment news show is coming to Linda Ikeji TV & this could be huge

Renowned blogger and entrepreneur Linda Ikeji has taken another step towards turning her nascent TV brand Linda Ikeji TV into an entertainment monolith. So far, LiTV’s overall programming philosophy has been notoriously maximalist, rapidly diversifying the TV landscape with its semi long-form and snackable content, from reality shows to talk shows and (coughs) adult-oriented stuff....

The Music Blog: These performances from The Black Girls Glow concert will knock your socks off

One of the biggest things to come out of Ghana last year, long before movements like #TimesUp and #MeToo championed female solidarity was the Black Girls Glow collective. The premise behind this was simple, all across Africa, music industries tend to favour male artists. They are more willing to promote them, finance their careers and... Read More

[The Film Blog] “The Wedding Party 2” is now the Highest Grossing Nollywood Film Ever but Where are the Receipts?

Before the cinema-wide premiere of The Wedding Party: Destination Dubai in Nigeria, I wrote about the untold appeal of The Wedding Party and why the sequel won’t be as commercially successful. It was an objective piece, extrapolated from industry trends which influenced the projections that I made. Now, though, these projections have shattered with the... Read More

[The Injustice Blog] Does anyone care if Nabila was converted, or does it only matter because she is a daughter of a traditional leader?

The conversion of Miss Nabila Sanda Galadima from Islam to Christianity which led to the arrest of Engr. Dafup a man she met on a London to Nigeria flight four years ago by the DSS is an unnecessary intervention by the secret police. By the laws guiding our nation, Nigeria is a secular state and...

[The Injustice Blog] Another DSS attack on a religious figure for not supporting the government

President Buhari’s tenure as a military dictator in the 1980’s was characterised by forced kidnappings and illegal arrests. Those acts have found their way into his current dispensation as a democratically elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The only difference now is that instead of using the military junta as pawns in his... Read More
