Episode description
After years of reading comic books by non-African writers, Olufikayo (Ziki) Adeola, Toluwalakin (Tolu) Olowofoyeku and Hamid Ibrahim set up Kugali Media to create their own African comic books. In a 2018 interview with the BBC, Hamid called out arguably the world's top animation company, Disney. Today, Kugali Media and Walt Disney Animation have partnered to create an African sci-fi miniseries Iwájú. The series is set in Nigeria's popular city Lagos, one hundred years in the future. Hamid, Tolu, and Ziki tell us more about creating the show. And, an Irish woman loses her $800,000 insurance claim after photo emerges of her competing in a Christmas tree throwing contest.
