Ishaya Bello (Mike Afolarin), is a talented but poor teenager struggling to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. Luck shines on him when he stumbles on the rare opportunity to win a scholarship to the elite Wilmer Academy, although he is only interested in using the scholarship grant to fund his trip to London where he has been offered an apprenticeship with established artist Essien (Deyemi Okanlawon). After his mother Patricia (Funke Akindele) spends his hard-earned savings on her ailing husband Ishaya Senior (Paul Adams) without their son's consent, thus putting paid to his ambition, Ishaya steals from the nightclub where he works as a waiter. To avoid being murdered by cartel boss Oga Rambo (Bolanle Ninalowo), he offers to peddle MDMA to the Wilmer students, although once again he is nearly killed for using Rambo's second-in-command Government's (Bucci Franklin) supply. While masquerading as a student, Ishaya's illicit manoeuvring leads to further chaos in Wilmer, at home, and within the cartel hierarchy. After his sister is kidnapped by Rambo's gang, they carry out a similar move with Ishaya's school friend, Frank (Emeka Nwagbaraocha), which leaves him traumatised. Rambo then attacks Wilmer Academy, which leads to more trouble for Ishaya and his family.[4][5]

Agents often woo the young girls with promises of education and good earnings. When their families sign up, the girls are transported from their villages to economic centres like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and surrounding cities. Often, these families are in dire financial circumstances and see their children as a vehicle for financial support. Many parents can barely afford daily meals and basic healthcare for their children, which makes the prospect of someone else taking responsibility for the child, while offering a stipend, too tempting to resist.

As an agent gains a reputation in the villages, they no longer need to visit in order to recruit. Through referrals from families with children in their service, the agent finds other interested families willing to send their daughters to work. In some cases, the prospect of work opportunities makes older women sign up as well (however, most potential employers prefer hiring younger girls, counting on their age to keep them compliant).

Peace lives in Mararaba on the outskirts of the city. In her self-contained single room apartment sits a mattress, a few boxes, a box television set, and her shoes lined up in a corner. There are a few stickers from religious crusades on her door and a well-worn Bible on one of the pillows at the head of her bed.

Unlike Aisha, Peace had the privilege of getting some education. Her employer in Lagos enrolled her in a public school. But seven months later, after leaving the home of the employer, she had to leave school and has not been back since.

The exodus to the cities is always a tempting journey towards the possibility of a better future. For a few, this dream comes true. They find homes where they are treated decently or get access to an education. But such cases are few and far between. Stories of the abuse of domestic helpers are so popular that it is even a recurring theme in Nollywood movies.

Physical, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse are common. In May 2017 a well-known case of abuse was publicised in local daily papers: eight-year-old Miracle Edogwu was allegedly beaten to death by her employer, a businesswoman in Lagos simply referred to as Oby. Many other instances of abuse ranging from scalding by hot water, to near-death beatings, are rife in local news.

Your meme from the series has been gaining a lot of popularity, and your social media presence is quite active. Can you tell us about a moment that made you realize your name was becoming a household name in Nollywood?

This series is aptly titled for two reasons: thematically, it depicts abandonment; socially, in the Nigerian context, there is hardly any relatability. Therefore, Far from Home is both authentic and unreal.

Far From Home is the story of a young, ambitious but poor boy from the slums of Isale Eko who hopes to become a renowned artist. In pursuance of that dream, he applies for a scholarship grant at the elite, pre-varsity Wilmer Academy by some dishonest means that eventually turned into a web of problems for him.

A feeling of abandonment seems to permeate every action in this series. We see from the opening scenes the squalor Ishaya Bello (Mike Afolarin) the protagonist, lives in, and how he has to work as a maid for a rich family, alongside his mom every morning, to make ends meet.

As a result of these, Far from Home bears little to no resemblance to the Nigerian social sphere and teenagers here. A minor change like Wilmer Academy being a pre-degree (program) institute instead of a pre-varsity or A-Levels school would have stood out.

Ishaya (Mike Afolarin) is a teenager from the poor parts of Lagos where people struggle to make ends meet and cover their basic needs. Like his father, he is a visual artist, with a real knack for creating hyper realistic portraits. Unlike his father, he has big dreams and a desire to change his fortune in life. Because of this, he enters and wins a competition to work with one of the best artists in the world. But the program is taking place in London and he cannot afford the expensive trip. Seeing this as his ticket out of obscurity, he begins to save up some money. Ishaya works menial jobs, cleaning houses, working as a busboy and even selling his drawings to make as much money as possible. Filling out the rest of his world are his girlfriend, Adufe (Gbugbemi Ejeye); his sister, Rahila (Tomi Ojo); best friend (Moshood Fattah), mother (Funke Akindele) and ailing father (Paul Adams).

Produced by Nollywood titan Mo Abudu, Castle & Castle made its debut on Netflix in 2020 as the first Nigerian legal drama series. The show features a power couple, Tega Castle (Richard Mofe-Damijo) and Remi Castle (Dakore Adande), who, together, run the top law firm in Lagos, Nigeria. As the duo oversees the affairs and corporate politics of managing an elite legal firm, they must remain strong against the pressures that threaten to ruin their marriage. Drawing inspiration from prominent legal dramas, Castle & Castle highlights the misogyny in corporate spaces, thrilling romance among the attorneys, good ol' firm rivalry, and hilarious civil cases that can only be seen in a Nigerian society.

For most teenagers growing up in Nigeria, their future aspirations usually fall into generic fields: doctors, lawyers, engineers, and pilots. However, for the Netflix series, Far From Home, the main character Ishaya Bello (Mike Folarin) is not one. When the art enthusiast from a humble background sees a rare opportunity to get recognized by an art academy in London, he takes it without question. Oblivious to Ishaya, his rational decisions trigger a series of chaotic events threatening the lives of his family and friends he holds dear.

A bride and her best friend must flee in order to avoid being entrapped in a murder conspiracy after the sudden disappearance of an abusive groom Kola (Deyemi Okanlawon), in the middle of his wedding. Following the discovery of his body in a shallow grave, the two young women are hunted by a witty and brilliant detective. What initially seems to be homicide with a culprit to catch turns out to be a case with victims to aid. Aside from the moving plot of this crime thriller, another focal point of Blood Sisters is the complex familial dynamic of The Ademolas, the groom's family. What makes this eight-episode series rewarding is its epic finale, which answers a burning question you will find yourself asking from the pilot.

Post-partum depression is rarely included among several subjects on women's health in real life more or less addressed in films. In the directorial debut for Damilol Orimogunje, For Maria Ebun Pataki, a mother named Derin (Meg Otanwa) has post-partum depression. The movie follows her during the first several months following delivery, which causes Derin to lose a lot of blood. The separation she feels from her infant and her difficulties, as a result, is well illustrated in the movie. It inevitably raised empathy and triggered conversations surrounding post-partum depression and real-life stories of women suffering from it.

Set in the Colonial era of Nigeria's history, Kunle Afolayan's October 1 narrates the story of Danladi Waziri (Sadiq Daba), a police officer from Northern Nigeria, who is posted to the remote town of Akote in Western Nigeria to investigate the frequent female murder cases in the community, and have the mystery solved before the Nigerian flag is raised on October 1, Nigeria's Independence Day.

Directed in 2013 by the late director Biyi Bandele and adapted from Chimamanda Adichie's bestseller with the same title, Half of a Yellow Sun stars, Genevieve Nnaji, John Boyega, Anika Noni Rose, and many more. The story tells the gripping tale of twin sisters (Thandiwe Newton and Anika Noni Rose) from a wealthy Nigerian family, who take wildly different paths in life. Still, both become swept up in the struggle to establish Biafra as an independent republic. Although the underlying political themes are ever throughout the tone of plot, Half of a Yellow Sun also gives room for more as the love story between Odenigbo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Olanna (Thandiwe Newton) and their will to survive the chaos of Nigeria's democratic genesis in the 1960s. Half of a Yellow Sun is not just an engaging film to get into Nollywood with, but a film that educates one on an often neglected piece of Nigeria's history. ff782bc1db
