Lorsqu'on pense au cinéma et au Nigeria, vient tout de suite en tête le célèbre Nollywood et ses films et séries dramatiques au ton théâtral. Mais parmi les 2 500 réalisations produites, aucune œuvre de science-fiction. Le genre est en revanche bien présent en ligne avec des réalisations à l'opposé du blockbuster américain Black Panther et qui revendiquent ces racines africaines. Ce mélange d'influences entre tradition africaine et science-fiction est défini par l'autrice nigériane Nnedi Okorafor comme l'afro-futurisme. L'intelligence artificielle générative a aussi donné « aux créateurs africains des superpouvoirs sans budgets hollywoodiens », selon le fondateur du premier festival du film d'intelligence artificielle africain, Obinna Okerekeocha. De notre correspondante à Lagos, Ola, un jeune homme qui naviguait dans les tumultes de l'adolescence se retrouve également à composer avec les super-pouvoirs d'une divinité Yoruba dont il est la réincarnation. C'est l'intrigue du court métrage Ogun Ola: the war is coming, réalisé par le collectif nigérian The Critics. Victor Josiah, l'un des cinq réalisateurs du groupe, revendique l'appartenance à ce genre où les imaginaires sont inspirés et racontés par des Africains. « Nous avions une passion ou un intérêt similaire pour les films hollywoodiens, ce sont les films de super-héros que nous avons regardés : Spiderman, Superman, et les autres. Et nous voulions cela dans un sens pour Nollywood. Nous voulions ça pour le Nigeria. Et nous voulions aussi avoir nos propres super-héros, nous voulions avoir nos propres films dont nous pourrions nous vanter et en être fiers », explique-t-il. Nollywood, deuxième industrie cinématographique mondiale, n'a vu émerger son premier long métrage de science-fiction qu'en 2020 : Ratnik, du regretté réalisateur Dimeji Ajibola, qui plonge Lagos dans un univers post-apocalyptique. En revanche, la production est bien plus développée en ligne, où de jeunes réalisateurs s'essayent au genre, parfois uniquement munis de leurs téléphones et de logiciels gratuits. C'est le cas de Divine Xaendra Odera, diplômée en art théâtral à l'université de Benin City. Elle écrit, produit et monte ses propres réalisations. « Le genre lui-même est déjà quelque chose qui nécessite généralement un énorme budget juste pour être exécuté. Je réalise que si nous avions plus de gens qui osaient commencer avec ce qu'ils avaient, malgré les détails techniques qu'il faudrait pour le genre, alors cela inspirerait la prochaine génération de cinéastes à faire plus », détaille-t-elle. L'intelligence artificielle, une aide à la création ? À Lagos, l'agence créative Vortex, fondée en 2013, a d'abord été une maison d'édition de bandes dessinées avant de devenir un studio d'animation mettant en avant la science-fiction africaine. Pour Somto Ajuluchukwu, son fondateur, l'intelligence artificielle peut favoriser la création. « Ce que vous imaginez peut prendre vie, vous savez, peu importe à quel point c'est fou, c'est aussi ce qui m'excite dans l'IA. Ce même niveau de flexibilité pour créer. Je pense donc que l'IA fournit en quelque sorte cette solution pour pouvoir imaginer et voir à quoi peut ressembler l'imagination », souligne-t-il. En septembre prochain se tiendra la seconde édition du Naija AI Festival, dédiée aux films africains créés à l'aide de l'intelligence artificielle. L'an dernier, plus de 300 productions y avaient été présentées. À lire aussiÉtats généraux du film documentaire: l'occasion «de raconter l'Afrique sous différents regards»

In Lagos, a vast patch of scrubland is being imagined as the future home of Kebulania: an ambitious African film city on the edge of Nigeria's biggest metropolis, and one of the centres of Nollywood, the country's multi-billion dollar film industry. Nigerian journalist Samuel Okocha follows the project in its earliest, most uncertain days – when the vision is big, but the buildings are yet to rise. At the proposed site, he joins community members, contractors and staff from Del-York Creative Arts, a Nigerian conglomerate film and media training company, as traditional leaders offer prayers and blessings.

In honor of Men's Mental Health Month this June, we tackle a conversation that every modern man needs to hear: How to take responsibility as a man, master self-care, and break the silence around mental well-being. Joining us in the studio is Nollywood actor Chuks Joseph. In this exclusive "Get to Know Me" segment, Chuks opens up about fun facts, his personal definition of manhood, accountability, and how he navigates mental health under the spotlight. If you are a man dealing with silent battles, remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

« Le cinéma, c'est du théâtre en conserve », disait un certain Louis Jouvet, qui ne connaissait pas Nollywood. Qu'est-ce qui a poussé Serge Noukoué, le co-fondateur de Nollywoodweek Film Festival dans les salles obscures du cinéma du Nigéria, d'Afrique et des diasporas africaines ? Qu'est-ce qui a poussé cet Afropéen d'origine béninoise à manger du pop-corn en anglais dans le texte ? Même si Dalida, Mandela et les Bleus ont marqué son adolescence, son cœur s'est laissé embarqué par l'Afrique anglophone et son cinéma. Spécialiste des Industries Culturelles & Créatives, Noukoué rêve de renforcer les échanges entre créateurs de l'Afrique anglophone et francophone. Il rêve en couleur d'abolir les frontières de l'imaginaire. Ce rêve est déjà à quelques stations de métro (pour les + chanceux) puisque la 13ème édition de Nollywoodweek Film Festival se tiendra du 6 au 10 mai 2026 au Cinéma l'Arlequin, 76 rue de Rennes, 75006 Paris. Programmation de l'invité :  • Jauperi E d'Oxun • Sauti Sol Suzanna.

Trouver des financements, rencontrer des producteurs, convaincre des partenaires : pour de nombreux réalisateurs, tout se joue avant même le tournage. Faute de structures solides dans leurs pays, beaucoup de cinéastes africains viennent encore chercher ces opportunités en Europe, où se concentrent une grande partie des réseaux et des financements. À Paris, plusieurs projets portés par des réalisateurs venus du continent sont actuellement accompagnés pour tenter de franchir cette étape décisive. Autour d'un café, professionnels du secteur et invités découvrent chaque année les projets de cinéastes et producteurs venus des pays du Sud. Ils sont dix à avoir été choisis parmi une centaine de candidatures. Une sélection où l'Afrique occupe une place importante, comme l'explique Eva Nguyen Binh, présidente de l'Institut français : « L'Afrique, c'est un tiers des projets qu'on accueille à la Fabrique Cinéma. Notre objectif, c'est d'accompagner ces talents avec des échanges, des expériences, des master classes, et de les mettre en relation avec l'écosystème français. » Des réalisateurs et producteurs en début de carrière sont accompagnés à un moment clé de leur parcours, où il faut apprendre à exister sur un marché compétitif. « Ils apprennent comment vendre leur projet, car le cinéma, c'est la création artistique, mais c'est aussi un marché. Il faut donc qu'ils se confrontent à ce marché international », souligne un intervenant. Pour ces cinéastes, la première étape est souvent le Festival de Cannes, un passage important pour trouver des partenaires et des financements. Côté contenu, leurs films expriment souvent une forme d'urgence, avec des histoires ancrées dans des réalités sociales et politiques fortes. Emilie Pianta, responsable du programme Fabrique Cinéma, explique cette tendance : « Comme ce sont des premiers films, les réalisateurs et réalisatrices y mettent tout. Ce sont des films à fort enjeu politique et social, avec le besoin d'exprimer une demande de plus de justice sociale et de lutte contre les discriminations. » Une fois de retour dans leur pays, certains prolongent cette expérience en transmettant à leur tour ce qu'ils ont appris. Mais derrière cet accompagnement, une question persiste : ces dispositifs peuvent-ils, à eux seuls, permettre de structurer durablement le secteur du cinéma sur le continent ? Pour le producteur franco-sénégalais Jean Fall, la réponse est nuancée : « La Fabrique Cinéma fait partie des dispositifs qui existent pour soutenir le cinéma africain depuis des années. Mais malheureusement, ce n'est pas assez. Le problème, c'est qu'on n'a pas encore de véritable circulation des films au niveau de la distribution entre les pays africains. Les films restent dépendants des sélections aux festivals pour trouver un acheteur, et les producteurs eux-mêmes sont tributaires de ce système où ils dépendent de financements externes pour leurs œuvres. » Un constat qui interroge, alors que l'objectif, à terme, est de voir émerger des réseaux locaux plus autonomes. « Le plus grand succès, ce sera qu'ils n'aient plus besoin de nous », conclut Eva Nguyen Binh.

One of Nollywood's most respected legends sat with us… and shared some of the most painful moments of her life.From the loss of her child to her marriage struggles and her journey of faith.There were moments the emotions were just too much.

For decades, Africa's global story has been defined by commodities such as oil, gold, cocoa, and minerals.But today another force is reshaping the narrative. Culture.In this episode of Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx, we explore a question gaining global attention. Is culture now Africa's most powerful export?From the global rise of Afrobeats to the worldwide reach of Nollywood, African creativity is influencing music charts, film platforms, fashion, and digital culture. Artists like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tems, and Rema are pulling billions of streams across the world, while African stories continue to expand their audience on platforms such as Netflix and Prime Video.Beyond entertainment, the African creative economy is growing rapidly. Analysts project the sector could approach 200 billion dollars in value by 2030, creating millions of opportunities for young creatives across music, film, fashion, and media.But can culture rival traditional exports?Can creativity become one of Africa's strongest economic forces?In this episode, Oluwafemi Makanjuola, broadcast producer, reporter, and host of Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx, unpacks the numbers, the global influence, and the deeper shift happening in how Africa is seen and heard around the world. The episode explores both the opportunities and the structural challenges shaping the future of African creativity.Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx continues to spotlight the voices, ideas, and industry conversations driving Africa's entertainment and creative industries forward.

It's just Dami and Isaac this time — no guest, just pure gist, hot takes, and unfiltered opinions. The duo dive into listener dilemmas, offering advice (solicited and unsolicited), sharing their perspectives, and reacting in the way only they can.They also get into the ongoing drama in the Nollywood industry, unpacking the subtle (and not-so-subtle) jabs flying around about marketing strategies, promo tactics, and the politics of attention. As always, the conversation blends humour with sharp observations.From relationship wahala to industry side-eyes, this episode feels like sitting in on a chaotic but insightful group chat.JOIN THE WHATSAPP CHANNEL:https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbBii6eLtOjA3h8LHg2BFOLLOW US ON:http://twitter.com/sonigerian_http://Instagram.com/sonigerian_http://twitter.com/damiar0shttp://instagram.com/_damiiaros7http://twitter.com/medici__ihttps://instagram.com/medici.i Hosted on Acast.

In a compelling exchange on the Naija Filmmaker podcast, Victor Ugoo Njoku articulates his vision for a more inclusive and representative Nigerian film industry. Throughout the episode, he recounts his formative experiences that ignited his passion for filmmaking, particularly the influence of his academic background in mass communication. Njoku discusses the pivotal moments that shaped his understanding of storytelling, emphasizing the need for narratives that reflect the genuine experiences of marginalized groups. His latest documentary, This Is Love, serves as a testament to this mission, as it intimately examines the lives of three LGBTQ couples in Nigeria. Njoku candidly shares the challenges faced during the production process, including the necessity of creating a safe environment for participants to express their truths. The conversation extends to the broader implications of representation in film, as Njoku advocates for improved storytelling practices within Nollywood. He stresses that the success of the industry hinges on its ability to embrace diversity and elevate underrepresented voices, thereby enriching the cinematic landscape in Nigeria.In this episode, you will learn the following:The podcast episode unravels how Victor Njoku's path to filmmaking began not on a grand stage, but from a place of keen observation.Victor's motivations for making a queer-focused film and commitment to authentic representationVictor's self-awareness about learning and growth as a filmmaker.Resources:https://www.instagram.com/victorugoonjoku/https://guidedoc.tv/documentary/this-is-love-documentary-film/Other episodes you'll enjoy:https://thenaijafilmmaker.com/episode/chiomaonyenwehttps://thenaijafilmmaker.com/episode/creativeogehttps://thenaijafilmmaker.com/episode/danieloriahi Donate:PAYSTACK: https://paystack.com/pay/thenaijafilmpod/STRIPE: https://www.thenaijafilmmaker.com/supportConnect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenaijafilmpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenaijafilmpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thenaijafilmpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/thenaijafilmpodLoved this episode?

From poverty-induced scarcity to partnership mastery: Why Africans struggle with business partnerships - and the brutal truth about the crab mentality shaped by poverty, the 50% recovery miracle achieved by just showing up in a president's room, the 20-year partnership that survived gossip and theft accusations, and why learning to trust people early while building bulletproof processes created 95% retention rates, zero theft accusations, and the freedom to resign from every board except one where the right CEO hire changed everything. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with a guest who dismantles the dangerous "protect yourself from everyone" mentality keeping Africans trapped in solo ventures that never scale, revealing the exact moment when recognizing what his business partner had that he didn't became more valuable than any skill he possessed, when telling someone to fly to an African country and stay in the president's room recovered 50% more money than expected, when 20 years of partnership with Debola survived people whispering "why is he so prominent and you're in the background" and "he'll take over once you leave," and why poverty creates a self-reinforcing cultural loop where movies show partners stealing businesses, uncles lose companies to relatives, and children grow up learning scarcity until the only solution is building capacity for trust in the universe, yourself, and others while implementing financial systems where the person approving claims isn't the same person disbursing money. This isn't motivational partnership talk from Instagram entrepreneurs - it's a systematic breakdown of why Warren Buffett's number one job is knowing your circle of competence and staying in it, why watching Debola work magic taught lessons that no book about intellect and logic could provide, why Eddie handles compliance and business continuity while Derrick does intuitive analysis phone calls that close deals, why the new CEO got full account access because hiring someone you don't trust means you shouldn't have hired them at all, why 17 years passed without ever knowing company account passwords or having family members safeguard interests, why firing someone for theft requires proof not accusations because it's too vile a charge to make without evidence, and why finding the right CEO created three years of calm, 95% retention, zero anonymous complaint letters, and organizational stability that lets you resign from every other board knowing this one company won't collapse. Critical revelations include: The 50% recovery miracle: told someone to fly to an African country, stay in the president's room, and recover the money - they came back with 50% more than expected, proving there are life skills some people have that others don't Why recognizing what you lack is as important as what you have: watching his business partner do things he couldn't do taught him early that intellect and logic aren't everything - sometimes emotions and relationship skills open doors that analysis can't The Warren Buffett circle of competence lesson: your number one job is knowing your circle of competence, staying in it, and deepening yourself in it - it's foolish to desire being everything Why Eddie calls for intuitive analysis: Eddie handles everything in the business deal except the final intuitive analysis - he'll call Derrick and say "get on the phone, speak to him, and if you feel it, let's do it" because that's Derrick's strength The Debola magic observation: sitting in front of someone who walks magic taught more than all the books about intellect - watching the magician work showed that sometimes what's required is a person who knows how to open the door, not the smartest person in the room Why poverty creates crab mentality: if poverty has bent people into a crab shape, they believe they have to behave like crabs - poverty is a powerful reality distortion machine that creates self-reinforcing loops of scarcity thinking The 20-year partnership gossip test: people would come saying "why is Debola so prominent and you're in the background" and "he'll take over the business once you leave" - but these were things discussed and structured before they even started, so the gossip meant nothing Why Africans fear partnership: we learn scarcity culturally from bosses, parents, books, and movies - every Nollywood film shows someone traveling and coming back to find their business stolen, so children grow up learning that partnership equals theft Host: Derrick Abaitey

Just so you’re aware: at one point in this episode, Barnum denies being racist while also dodging a tomato someone throws at him. And somehow… that’s not even the wildest part.Anyway—This episode takes the Barnum saga to its peak (and chaos), as we step behind the glittery curtain of “The Greatest Show on Earth” to reveal the messy reality the musical politely avoided. We explore Barnum’s controversial sideshow acts, including the dehumanizing “What Is It?” exhibit, and how he turned harmful pseudoscience into box office gold. The man was hustling — and sometimes harming — long before Hugh Jackman started singing on rooftops.Through reenactments, heated commentary, uninvited tomatoes, and Barnum himself defending every terrible idea he ever had, we unravel how spectacle, exploitation, racism, manipulation, genius, and pure shamelessness merged into the legend that shaped modern entertainment.We also follow Barnum into his unexpected political career (because of course he became a mayor), his partnership with James Bailey, and his overconfident reactions to modern TV, TikTok, Nollywood, and roller coasters. He hates most things, but respects exaggeration — naturally.This is Barnum unfiltered. Ambitious. Audacious. Problematic. And annoyingly proud of it.Welcome to The Greatest Showman — where the real story is stranger than the musical… and the musical already had a man dancing with an elephant.

Shalewa Holmes once said, “The yam is but a distraction,” which is not a sentence you expect from a world-class detective, but here we are.Anyway—In this investigative sequel, we go deeper into the yamification mystery — past the folklore, beyond the juju science, straight into conspiracy territory. Sherlock Shalewa Holmes returns with his most unhinged deduction yet, breaking down the seven possible culprits behind Nigeria’s favourite supernatural threat: spiritual leaders, fraudsters, Nollywood, ritualists, parents, the yam industry… and yes, the mysterious Yam Mafia.But the rabbit hole doesn’t end there.We hear fresh witness testimonies from people who swear they almost turned tuber. We get an undercover confession from a masked yam seller whose business model depends on “special yams.” And we take calls from the newly launched Yam Alert Hotline, where one representative is doing her absolute best not to scream at the chaos unfolding on the phone lines.This episode explores the politics, paranoia, and profit surrounding a myth that has shaped generations — and asks the question the government really doesn’t want you to ask:If yamification isn’t real…why does everyone know someone who “almost turned”?Welcome to The Other Side of Yam — where superstition becomes evidence, evidence becomes conspiracy, and every N500 note on the floor suddenly feels like a trap.

This week, we're joined by THE fabulous SimiMoonlight as she takes us through what it's really like being a notable fashion and lifestyle content creator in a world with increasing parasocial relationships & fewer boundaries as you become more visible on the internet. An episode without our silliness doesn't exist, so obviously we talked about the big lady age that is 30+ and all it comes with, and the comedic relief that is Nollywood. We also tackle some fascinating dilemmas around twin-sibling relationships, broken trust in a very new marriage and what it's like to dislike your in-laws.
