Why Nigerian Creators Feel Entitled to Celebrities

There is a growing habit in Nigerian entertainment where getting close to a celebrity has become part of the content itself.

Nigerians Still Binge 100-Episode Shows. Why Did Nollywood Stop Making Them?

There is a strange contradiction in the way Nigerians watch television today.
