[OPEN COUNTRY MAG @OpenCountryMag]

Egunjobi’s (@Tai_Egunjobi) father was a professor of botany who once co-owned a cinema house in the ‘70s, in Ibadan, with a Lebanese businessman. He was a reader and raised his son — who was born in Nairobi, Kenya — on Yoruba folktales and Greek myths, on the pages of Harlequin romances and Tell. Books became young Egunjobi’s first fascination. Cinema came later, as revelation.

Debola “Santa” Ogunshina’s @Deblasanta TOP 5 Nollywood performances that redefined standards✨

Check out which performances made the list and why they made a lasting impression on him👇🏾

[Fatherland Productions @wearefatherland]

🇳🇬We’re running it back! Following widespread public demand, My Father’s Shadow will return to Nigerian cinemas from 5th June 2026 for a special limited re-release.

We swept #AMVCA12, winning Best Movie, Director, Writing (Movie), Music/Score and Sound Design. Initially released in 16 states across the country from September 2025, Nigeria was the first country in the world to show My Father’s Shadow widely in cinemas.

The film is set in the aftermath of the historic June 12 1993 Nigerian election crisis, a date that has since become Nigeria’s Democracy Day. This re-release invites audiences to revisit the film as a living archive of memory and nationhood ahead of June 12.

TRUE STORY

For one whole week, I shut the world out.
Lights off. Curtains drawn. Phone switched off.

I had just lost my US job, my heart was broken, and everything around me felt like it was collapsing at once. So I disappeared for a while. No calls. No texts. No energy to explain anything to anybody.

Then Monday came.

I finally plugged my phone back in, and the very first notification I saw was an Instagram message:

“How body? I’m looking for you.”

It was from Basketmouth — the legendary “Eze Gburu Gburu” himself.

At first, I almost couldn’t believe it.
Because beyond being one of the biggest comedians in Africa, working with him had always felt like a dream from afar. And somehow, in the middle of one of the darkest weeks of my life, that message found me.

That single notification changed my entire mood.
It reminded me that even when life feels paused, destiny can still be knocking quietly at your door.

I came out of hiding after that.
And the rest is history.

If you’ve read A Very Gidi Christmas or A Nollywood Christmas (even if you haven’t), you should anticipate Tomilola Coco Adeyemo’s next novel, Efun’s Jazz, published by Masobe in Aug. Read her Substack post, a glimpse of what’s coming. https://t.co/F11deAq4cl

[Masobe Books @masobebooks]

GUESS WHO’S BACK:
Tomilola Coco Adeyemo!

COVER REVEAL

Nicole Oyetunji is tired of surviving a life that no longer feels like her own. Married for ten years to a man who resents her success and with a longing for motherhood that remains unanswered, she returns to Osogbo hoping

[SANTA NO-CLAUS @Deblasanta]

So proud of you, Tomilola. I know this will take you to greater heights. ✨

[Tomilola @TomilolaCoco]

I am sooo excited. The story that landed me a publisher & set me on this journey is finally coming out in August. Efun’s Jazz is a special baby of mine because I explore a topic/theme(s) dear to me which is Yoruba spirituality & culture. Can’t wait for everyone to read this one❤️
