“The biggest filmmakers in Nigeria right now are all Yorubas. Consider names like Kemi Adetiba, Jade Osiberu, Mo Abudu, Kunle Afolayan, Kayode Kasum, Toyin Abraham, Funke Akindele, and Mercy Aigbe, as well as Bolanle Austin-Peters. Most mainstream cinema and streaming movies are produced by Yoruba filmmakers.”

He further emphasized the dominance of Yoruba cinema, saying,

“The Yoruba filming culture has integrated into the other groups that are also making waves. Can you name a Hausa or Igbo-language movie available on Netflix or Amazon? The closest was Genevieve’s ‘Lionheart’ from years ago. Only Yoruba films seem to thrive on platforms like Amazon and Netflix, becoming mainstream cultural hits.”
