    Nollywho - "Woke" Nollywood Is The Worst (Episode 9)
    Apr 7 2021
    As the world is forced to pay attention to social issues thanks to the intimidating power of Gen-Z audiences on social media to swiftly amplify issues and punish those found in violation of communally held beliefs, Nollywood is also being forced to pivote how it tells stories and what kind of stories it tells. Reactionary storytelling will always result in the most recent crop of 'conscious' films we've seen out of Nollywood and this episode of Nollywho, FrankUgo and Edwin dissect the industry's attempts to balance financial bottomlines with a unforgiving audience's uncompromising demands. Something always gives, and it is not their desire to make profit.

    Nollywho - Revisiting Lagos Big Boy: The Quintessential Millennial (Episode 8)
    Mar 27 2021

A lot has happened since the show was released, one of its leads was accused of sexual assault, another has transitioned to become one of the country's most in-demand MC's and Dare Olaitan, its director has started shooting his third feature film. It seems a good time as any to ask the important questions of why the show worked and why it eventually failed to capture the zeitgeist.
