Editor’s Note:
We have been enjoying our journey of change which we embarked on last month (expanding the magazine from a 16 pager to a whopping 40). And now, it is our first ever double cover and we have two fabulous women. The first female president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria and soon to be married Ms Ibinabo Fiberisima and AMBO winner and entrepreneur, Bayray McNwizu. These women have continued to push boundaries, challenge status quos and in their own way, bring about meaningful change. Ms Fiberisima talks passionately about her love for Nollywood (p. 14) while Bayray (as she prefers to be called) tells us about her latest new female empowerment project (p.18).
Wilfred Okiche profiles 10 new movie stars taking over Nollywood (p. 8) while Oluwaponmile Orija heads to the street to find out which Nollywood director has captured their heart (p. 9).
Nolly Silver Screen is happy to welcome on board the talented and award winning cartoonist Mike Asukwo whose new new cartoon strip – Story-Bored! – explores typecasting in Nollywood (p. 10).
We recently partnered with the Nollywood Studies Centre of the Pan Atlantic University during their annual international conference. Last edition, we brought you the pictures, now, Dr Ikechukwu Obiaya has the full report (p.16).
Enjoy!
