Ahead of their world premieres at festivals, in cinemas and on streaming platforms in the second half of the year, we got new teasers and trailers for Alahun: The Weaver, Zikoko Life 2, The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives and We Must Begin Again, Together.

You can watch the new footage for Zikoko Life 2 and We Must Begin Again, Together on our YouTube channel.

We got the first-look images from Children of Blood and Bone amid Tomi Adeyemi distancing herself from the adaptation, prompting reactions online.

The film is set for release in January 2027, with Nile Entertainment handling distribution across West Africa.

Ryan Coogler definitely did a thing with that Sinners promotional video last year.
Fun fact: Lagos has two IMAX locations, both digital, but still worth experiencing.

Do you plan to watch Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey? If so, on which screen?

Daniel S.A.D. Alaka was one of the breakout talents of the 2025 S16 Film Festival with the audience favourite About Sarah.

Also on the animation front, SMIDS, a Nigerian animation company, is returning with its summer training camp for children this year.

Also on the international front, Akinola Davies Jr. has been selected for jury duty for one of the sections at the Venice Film Festival, a couple of Nigerian shorts are headed to HollyShorts, and Shedrack Salami recently completed the American Film Showcase Sports Documentary Residency at the USC School of Cinematic Arts in Los Angeles.

WORDS OF RAIN

You can't always speak into existence when it's convenient it seems.

Virgin Mary is an African comic series that follows a naive, deeply religious young girl through her university life. The series asks questions of morality, religion, hypocrisy and the disconnect between the nature of God and how man relates with Him

THE GOOD NEWS 4 (REDRAW)

This was my favourite comic in this series. I was a bit worried about posting this one though cuz of the current conversations around Islam and Christianity. Won't it be funny if this is the one that goes viral 😂

A throwaway comic based on a Twitter trend that I just found amusing. You can find the original tweet on the second panel.
