Two conversations. Two perspectives. One deeper look at the culture. 🇳🇬

We’re teaming up with The Joey Akan Experience and Afrobeats Intelligence to spotlight conversations that go beyond the headlines and explore the people, stories, ideas and cultural forces shaping Nigeria and its global diaspora.

The Joey Akan Experience (TJAE) is a long-form conversation platform where Joey Akan sits with compelling voices across culture, entertainment and society to unpack their stories, beliefs, experiences and perspectives - from conversations around faith and traditional spirituality to the legacy of Nollywood and the realities of life in today’s Nigeria.

Afrobeats Intelligence goes deeper into the music and culture behind one of Africa’s biggest global exports. Through in-depth conversations with artists and key figures, the platform explores the work, journeys, influence and cultural impact behind Afrobeats.

Swipe through, tap in, and tune into the full conversations. 🎙️
