A rare win for Ultimate Love as DoubleChris prepare to tie the knot

Reality TV shows are constructed in a way that could serve as a social experiment. The idea is simple, you put a bunch of relatively responsible adults in a particular setting, and give them a bunch of rules to play by. This was Africa Magic’s modus operandi in their attempt to create another reality TV... Read More

Will Ultimate Love succeed where the Koko Mansion failed?

Can you really talk about Multi-choice’s new non-scripted reality show Ultimate Love without referencing the O.G dating show of them all, Koko Mansion? That would be pretty irresponsible, considering when the Koko Mansion was originally announced 11 years ago, there was no precedent that a reality show like that, one that wasn’t focused on individual talent like Nigerian...

[The Film Blog] How Africa Magic gave Nollywood a bad image

Long before streaming became such a huge part of our culture, access to Nollywood films mostly ran on an efficient system of home video rentals. It was a subscriber community immersed in the zeitgeist, propelling an ecosystem of filmmakers, Nollywood-minded businesses, and movie lovers.

The Media Blog: There is no other way to say it – Tinsel is legendary

Say what you will about the show, but 2000 episodes of a television show, shot in Nigeria, is not beans.
