Onoshe Nwabuikwu: Nollywood, Mercy Johnson & the ’emerging’ porn industry

by Onoshe Nwabuikwu I know there’s no porn industry, yet. At least, I hope not. But there have been stories flying everywhere about Nollywood’s venture into soft pornography.

Onoshe Nwabuikwu: How not to commiserate on TV, Brila FM, Gulder Ultimate Search & more

by Onoshe Nwabuikwu I know some people have been drawing attention to how the US government has tackled Hurricane Sandy. I wouldn’t go that far.

Onoshe Nwabuikwu Reviews: Bisi Olatilo goes over the top, the Ondo debate, and more

by Onoshe Nwabuikwu   Did you know it was Independence? Monday October 1, 2012 was Nigeria’s 52nd Independence anniversary. Not that you needed reminding.

Onoshe Nwabuiku: NTA, Think like a man, Volt, and more

by Onoshe Nwabuikwu What has NTA done lately for …ex-footballers? First, I should say this question wasn’t originally asked by me. And it was in the form of a declarative tweet by Obi Asika sometime around June. Asika is an entertainment and sports entrepreneur who runs Storm 360. Of himself, he says he is “focused... Read More

Of Veterans & Our ‘Oriki’ Mentality: Airtime reviews Star Quest, Nigerian Idol and The Valley

  by Onoshe Nwabuikwu ‘Why are we so Blest?’ (1972) is the title of a book by Ayi Kwei Armah but it best expresses what I’m feeling right now. I have had many a “What is this world coming to?” conversations with friends, a close friend called Kaine in particular, and those conversations usually begin with either, “Did you watch programme X...

Public hearings as TV entertainment? – Onoshe Nwabuikwu’s ‘Airtime’

by Onoshenuasi Nwabuikwu Public hearings as TV entertainment? If there’s any difference between the public hearings and other programmes on TV, it’ll have to be that the hearings are more interesting (invariably), for good or bad reason. However public hearings even though somewhat upgraded from the ubiquitous but toothless government committees, appear to be to (just)... Read More

Onoshe Nwabuikwu’s ‘Airtime’ comes to YNaija! Jacob’s Cross, AIT & 62nd Berlinale – See the first edition!

by Onoshenuasi Nwabuikwu Now Whitney’s dead I’d meant to talk about Whitney’s sad passing last week but somehow managed to skip it altogether. Anyway, I’m not so good at talking about these kinds of things. Especially because in these parts, as soon as somebody dies, he/she assumes sainthood almost immediately. People would lie through their teeth... Read More
