Promising start to 2025 for Nigeria’s entertainment industry

The entertainment industry has kicked off 2025 on a high note, building on the momentum from a fun-packed December 2024 that was filled with exciting concerts and events.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that one standout achievement that has stolen the spotlight is the remarkable success of actor and filmmaker Lateef Adedemeji.

Adedemeji’s newly released movie, “Lisabi: A Legend is Born,” made history by reaching number one on Netflix in under 24 hours of its release on Friday.

“Lisabi: A Legend is Born” is the sequel to “Lisabi: The Uprising,” which was released in 2024, and has also risen to number three on Netflix.

This impressive feat is a testament to Adedemeji’s talent, dedication, and growing influence in the Nigerian film industry.

The movie’s rapid rise to the top spot on Netflix sets a new benchmark for Nollywood productions, demonstrating their potential for global appeal and recognition.

Adedimeji took to his social media platform to thank his maker and fans for making his new project well accepted for the new year.

As the entertainment industry continues to evolve, it will be exciting to see how this success story inspires other filmmakers and actors to push the boundaries of storytelling and creativity.

Another significant achievement in the entertainment industry is the record-breaking success of Nollywood star Funke Akindele’s latest film, “Everybody Loves Jenifa.”.

This movie has officially become the highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time, with a staggering box office revenue of N1.47 billion and counting.

This feat is a milestone not only for Akindele but also for the entire Nollywood industry.

It demonstrates the growing popularity and influence of Nigerian cinema, both locally and internationally.

In the music scene, the song of the moment is undoubtedly “Joy is Coming” by Mr. Fido.

Born Awosika Olayemi, Mr. Fido rapidly gained recognition as one of the breakout artists who ended 2024 and is set to take over in 2025.

“Joy is Coming” has achieved a career milestone for Mr. Fido, debuting at number one on Apple Music in Nigeria and number four on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeat Song Charts.

The song reflects a blend of energy, hope, optimism, and cultural richness that has endeared Mr. Fido to fans across the continent.

The vibrant beat of “Joy is Coming” turns heads whenever it is played, and its infectious rhythm has captured the hearts of music lovers everywhere.

With “Joy is Coming,” Mr. Fido has cemented his position as one of the most exciting new voices in the music industry.

As 2025 progresses, it will be exciting to see what other achievements and milestones the entertainment industry will reach. (NAN)
