Every time a Nollywood movie underperforms at the box office, the word “sabotage” suddenly enters the conversation.

But before blaming cinemas or fellow filmmakers, perhaps a more important question should be asked:

How much was actually spent on promotion?

Many producers invest heavily in production but treat marketing as an afterthought. Then when ticket sales don’t meet expectations, they turn to social media in search of sympathy.

I shared my thoughts on this growing trend in Nollywood in my latest article:

“Before Nollywood Producers Blame Sabotage, They Should Ask How Much They Spent on Promotion”

AI will take jobs, maybe not yours if you learn how to use the tools to do your job better. Not to show the required interest in what you need to know is to endanger your career.

Today at Dataphyte, we hosted the @HumAngle_ Fellows for a hands-on session on “Leveraging Data for Civic Engagement.”

@Prof_KennyJames and @kadhijahhh shared practical insights on how data can drive civic advocacy, drawing from our work and the tools we use.

It’s always a good time sharing knowledge, trading ideas, and building change with fellow change-makers.

Rest well, Baba Buhari.

A soldier. A statesman. A symbol of discipline.
From Daura to Dodan Barracks, from the ballot to the Villa, your journey was Nigeria’s history written in flesh.

May your legacy be remembered with grace.
