Exclusive: Nigeria’s newest studio, Nile Media Entertainment Group, is already making moves.
The Lagos-based business has struck a partnership with Mo Abudu’s EbonyLife to roll out a luxury cinema experience across West Africa, and has secured global sales rights to Wives of Strike: The Uprising.
The pact with Abudu will see Nile, which is led by CEO Moses Babatope, and EbonyLife launching The Pods, which they bill as “major leap forward” in the West African cinema industry. Each Pod will offer a private, intimate setting with plush reclining seats, personal concierge service and access to curated film selections.
Nile and EbonyLife plan to launch 10 Pods per year over the next five years.
“The future of African entertainment hinges on robust partnerships and collaborative efforts,” said Bukky George-Taylor, VP of Nile Cinemas. “At The Nile Group, we are committed to forging strong alliances with local and international stakeholders to elevate the industry.
