Nollywood and the Business of Creativity: Who Owns the African Story? (Part 3)

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note and I promise to return your calls. Thank you and keep them coming! The past week has been busy in the creative industry in Africa as Nigeria host 'CANEX WKND 2026' and 'AFRIFF 15', two events that seeks to make the creative industry in Africa (Nollywood, Afro music, fashion, Naija lifestyle, culture and new digital-making-available metrics) profitable, sustainable and impactful as an industrial sector. This work/research done in 2018 as part of my SJD dissertation had earlier looked into similar themes deliberated in Lagos from November 1-8, 2026, within these events. "If Nollywood filmmakers insist on its genre purity, it may lose certain foreign collaboration, and without external collaboration, its influence in the international scene becomes further complicated. Therefore, Nollywood will have to balance its creative independence and creative growth goal in its effort to expand outside Nigeria. A more inclusive choice for Nollywood may be a middle course of keeping its core genre, while undertaking a modest adjustment in its cinematic themes for its foreign audience."

Who owns the African Story- Distributions, Collaborations & Creativity -Pt. 2

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note and I promise to return your calls. Thank you and keep them coming! In their strategy to expand the creative coast and fields Nigerian creators and other African creators have been premiering their craft-movies, music, arts forms, food and fashion in jurisdictions outside their primary countries. These activities involve collaboration and partnering with others-non- African institutions, persons and African alike. We examine the implication of these strategies upon the Creative uniqueness of Nollywood, Afro-music, etc. and its overall IP implications.

Who owns the African Story and Creativity?

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note and I promise to return your calls. Thank you and keep them coming! Recently, the US Embassy in Nigeria, through its new Consul General Hudspeth engaged Nigerian creators-music, fashion, music etc industries- in an initiative to build a connection between Hollywood and Nollywood. An impactful partnership, collaboration or joint initiative in the creative industries would always yield substantive political, economic and social dividends if properly done. In this episode we set out to add our voices and opinion on how such collaboration may evolve symbiotically, sustainable and jurisprudentially. I started with a background of an article I wrote in 2020 on this theme which would help our listeners have a broader understanding of the episode: The Conversation (2020)-Netflix Naija: creative freedom in Nigeria’s emerging digital space?

The African Creative Spaces and Interventionists

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note and I promise to return your calls. Thank you and keep them coming! In a recent interview I had with the Culture Solutions, an association working towards amplifying the essence of the interventionist agencies (in a good way), I reiterated the need of effective outcomes based on tangible exhibitions of results in the communities of Africa. This audio is a small extract of the more than one hour chat. In 2020, I published a work on how an effective and efficient legal capacity for African Creators in the film, music and other creative spaces could be achieved in the light of engagements from established creative corporations from the Northern Hemisphere like Netflix, Amazon, YouTube etc. Recently, Mr. Bright Okpocha popularly known as "Basketmouth" alleged that Filmmakers under partnership with Netflix mismanaged interventionist funds granted by Netflix for producing creatives on things unrelated to creative processes to achieve excellent works. On the global front, Multinational Institutions like the European Union, United Nations as its agencies like WIPO, UNESCO etc. have injected funds in millions of dollars into the African Cultural Creative Industries to enhance the regions socioeconomic development. In the coming weeks, SAMIÁIRÊPORTÍ will focus on the ACTUAL effectiveness, problems and perhaps put out suggestions on the way forward to realize the "street benefits" of "Cultural Creative interventions." https://theconversation.com/netflix-naija-creative-freedom-in-nigerias-emerging-digital-space-133252?utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=bylinewhatsappbutton Please visit and subscribe @Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify and other streaming platforms for the full episodes.
