#TheExperienceReport: Pastor Paul’s message yesterday? Christians have to join politics – but we have questions

You know we love Pastor Paul Adefarasin. And if we didn’t love him before, the annual gift of The Experience completely sealed it. But let’s unpack his message at the event yesterday – it was remarkable for its disciplined focus on Christians influencing the world, and leaving the safety of spiritual spaces. Pastor Paul said...

The Film Blog: Mildred Okwo plots her next move

After wowing audiences with her first film The Meeting (actually, her first film was 30 Days, but so few people got to see it, and even fewer are aware of his existence,) Nollywood director and producer Mildred Okwo returned with another comedy, Surulere. The latter may have seen a somewhat lukewarm reception, but it did the great... Read More

Sorry, we are not immune to the tight pulls of the culture, and neither should we to be honest – sebi light is supposed to shine in the darkness? Reading through the new book from on-air personality, Toke Makinwa, a lot of things struck us – how personally she takes God, how important prayer happens... Read More

The Media Blog: So what’s up with Mania Magazine?

To say that Mania Magazine came out swinging with their 2011 launch would be an understatement. The brainchild of Dimeji Alara and Kelechi Amadi-Obi, the magazine pushed the envelope for fashion photography in a way that can only be expected of 2 fashion industry heavyweights. With an impressive bimonthly publishing schedule, the magazine delivered a... Read More

[The Legislative Blog]: The Benbrucing of Ben Bruce | Omojuwa drags Senator Ben Murray-Bruce on Twitter

Just yesterday, we were out here effusive in our praise of Senator Ben Murray-Bruce for suggesting that lawmakers, governors and top government officials should get a salary cut while civil servants who actually get the job done get “jumbo pay”. It sounded good to us and we had to admit that the man was actually... Read More

[The Legislative Blog]: Maybe Senator Ben Murray-Bruce got a good deal with Volkswagen Nigeria

[The Presidential Blog] Has the Presidency finally run out of blames?

If there’s anything we’ll never ever forget after this administration of the President Muhammadu Buhari, it is all the blaming. Along with recession, the slow response syndrome and #TheOtherRoom. But the one thing that we will forever remember is their go-to response for every enquiry, complaint, outcry, or anything else really: It is the other  people;... Read More

The Media Blog: No, but maybe we should all be learning from Toke

Toke Makinwa is pulling off a coup, guys. It’s not today celebrities started writing books, but we’re hard pressed to recall a Nigerian celebrity memoir (discounting Obasanjo, El-Rufai, and other politicians) that’s captured pop culture consciousness quite like this. They typically land with very little noise and fizzle out much the same way. We can’t... Read More

The Media Blog: Since Uncle Taju wants to own the entire world  

Is enough not enough? Baba leave small for the boys.  The news is that, in preparation for the Econet-powered Kwese TV, DSTV is disrupting itself (though, it’s more in the better-candle rather than the invent-the-lightbulb kind).  And that means ramping up its Nigerian content. In which case, Tajudeen Adepetu is the biggest beneficiary. In addition... Read More
