Bovi Ugboma: Women Dominate Nigeria’s Entertainment Industry
Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma recently asserted that women hold significant power in the entertainment industry. Speaking on the TVC program *Your View*, he remarked that while women often voice concerns about inequality, they may not realize their substantial influence in an industry they largely dominate.
Ugboma noted, “Women should recognize that in areas where they seek equality, they have often already succeeded, but their ongoing fight makes them unaware of this victory.” He pointed out that historically, figures like Amaka Igwe paved the way, and today, successful producers and directors such as Funke Akindele and Mo Abudu continue to lead. He emphasized that notable names like Bolanle Austin-Peters and Kemi Adetiba have made significant contributions as well.
In response to complaints from young actresses about male producers exploiting their positions, Ugboma questioned who they confide in, stating, “Women are the ones running the industry.” He urged them to acknowledge the power they possess and the successes they’ve achieved within the entertainment landscape.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
