    Introducing: Free The People
    Jun 7 2024

    We all have stories to tell, so every fortnight Ada and Mayowa ply friends with food and drinks in exchange for those stories. It’s group therapy, meets open-mic, meets kickback. Our goal is simple: archiving the Nigerian experience to capture all the nuances of today's culture.

  • How Nollywood Changed Nigerian Film

    How Nollywood Changed Nigerian Film
    Dec 4 2023


    When VHS tapes filled with low budget flicks flooded the streets of Lagos, Aba and Kano in the early 90’s, they would birth Nollywood - Nigeria’s very own film industry. This episode’s flashback stars Boj, our guide through Nollywood’s theatrical past to its globally acclaimed present. Joined by Anita Eboigbe, co-founder of Inside Nollywood, a newsletter that goes behind the scenes of Nigerian film, the two reminisce on the movies that made the industry.


    The show will be going on an end of year break. On behalf of the whole Culture Custodian team, here's wishing you all happy holidays. Catch you in the New Year.

  • When Ghana Met Nigeria

    When Ghana Met Nigeria
    Nov 20 2023
    From friends to enemies and finally to lovers, the story of Nigeria and Ghana’s rivalry is part classic rom-com and part Western showdown. On this episode Mayowa Idowu travels back in time with Culture Custodian writer Damilola Oyeleke and her uncle Justus Oyeleke to Ghana in 1969, days after over 2 million African migrants were forced out of the country. Years later, Mr Oyeleke watched how Ghanaian migration into Nigeria was followed by a mass expulsion that we would dub ‘Ghana must go’. Follow the trio as they trace how this love-hate story has spanned soccer showdowns, battle of the bands, and Jollof wars.
