Nigeria’s ‘Kannywood’ is caught between censorship and modernity

KANO, NIGERIA: Long overshadowed by the Nollywood of southern Nigeria, filmmakers in northern Africa’s cinema are pushing boundaries in search of international eyes — all while navigating the social conservatism of the Muslim-majority region. Young creatives — influenced not only by their peers in the country’s wealthier Christian south, but even as far away as India — hope to expand audiences beyond Nigeria’s borders for the north’s frenetic “Kannywood” film industry, known for producing about 200 films a month. With an estimated 80 million speakers of the Hausa language of the North spread across west and central Africa – not

Unlike the American homonymous, spread by James Brown, Rio Funk borrows more than hip-hop, mixed with Samba and other Brazilian rhythms. The lyrics, regarded by many as celebrating the Lords of the Favela drugs, have repeatedly led to calls for song censorship. Last week, Mc Poze do Rodo, one of the most famous artists of the

Listen to the article As US researchers face sweeping funding cuts, ideological repressions and growing political interference under the second term of President Donald Trump, a growing number of European universities offers what some have called “scientific asylum”. At the forefront is the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Vub) in Belgium, which opened 12 postdoctoral positions specifically aimed at attracting international researchers, focusing on Americans. The initiative responds to what the university calls the “serious and gradual” suppression of research in the United States. “We see it as our duty to help our American colleagues,” said Vub Rector Jan Danckaert. “They see

Missiles, Mossad, and Multi-Front Wars (Opinion)

In the high-stakes poker game that is Middle Eastern geopolitics, Iran’s missile strike on Tel Aviv is like going all in with mediocre cards, daring Israel to call the bluff. Tehran wasn’t just launching rockets, it was playing a calculated hand, forcing Israel into a choice: retaliate with the ferocity the world expects, or play it cool and risk looking weak. The problem for Israel is that both options come with a price tag—and neither guarantees they’ll walk away from the table with their winnings intact. Let’s talk options. Precision airstrikes are always the go-to for a reason. The F-35I
