For female cartoon characters especially, the shift has been massive — from princesses like Snow White, the typical damsel in distress waiting for her Prince Charming, to characters like Frozen’s Elsa and Anna, and even the controversial Disney live-action remakes that rewrote princess stories to embrace more bold, daring, and independent women. From the relatable realist, Daria, to the leader of the girl-power movement, Barbie, and even the rough, loud, and free-spirited girls like Buttercup, these characters continue to remind girls and women of all ages t...

Gangs of Lagos and Why It’s Still Worth Watching in 2025

In addition to the incredibly amazing casting of Gangs of Lagos, the movie does a good job trying to depict a semblance of Nigeria’s political culture and the lives of everyday people. Gangs of Lagos follows the story of Obalola, played by Tobi Bakre, who seemed destined to live a life of thuggery, violence, and servitude to politicians who continue to take from the poor to better their own lives—without any regard for making real change or improving the people’s situation. On the other hand, Gangs of Lagos also tells the story of a mother who was willing to do anything and went to great lengths to ensure that her only son did not end up the same way her husband did—dead as a result of gang violence. There’s also a friendship story in the mix, alongside betrayal, loyalty, and hear...

Mo Abudu’s New Netflix Series Baby Farm Sheds More Light on Nigeria’s Baby Factories

Baby farms, sometimes referred to as baby factories, are one of the most distasteful societal ills in Nigeria. As the name implies, this refers to an usually illegal method of making babies solely to sell them to the highest bidder. If that wasn’t savage enough, it gets worse when you consider that a vast majority of such operations involve forcing, kidnapping, and raping young (sometimes underag) girls to produce babies for sale. One of Uche Montana’s recent movies, A Lady and Her Gentleman, explores a version of such practice where young women are forced into prostitution. But Mo Abudu’s latest film, Baby Farm, looks deeper into the issue and sheds more light. What is Baby Farm about on Netflix? Mo Abudu’s latest film, Baby Farm.

Keke Palmer Talks Music Industry Struggles, Ownership, and Going Independent

Keke Palmer revealed that she chose to become an independent artist so she could own her work and be the puppet master, not the puppet. She explained that she believes in diversifying rather than putting all her eggs in one basket—or one industry. That mindset is why she wears many hats, including singing, acting, hosting, producing, and presenting. Her views on money also extend into Hollywood, where she’s openly called the industry “soulless.” During an interview on The Breakfast Club, Palmer expressed, “Anywhere where a lot of money is being made could be soulless.” She may have been referencing similar instances where several artists, from Taylor Swift to Kizz Daniel and other big names, have fallen victim to losing ownership of their creative works due to unfavorable record labe...
