Patrick Lee, former CEAN Chairman, responds to allegations of unfair Cinema Practices in Nigeria
In a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, Lee responded to the claims, providing clarity on the issues raised. Allegations of biased cinema practices surfaced in December 2024, with actress Mercy Aigbe accusing some cinemas of dissuading fans from seeing her latest film, Thin Line. Similarly, actor Femi Branch alleged that certain cinema staff actively promoted select films, sometimes by wearing branded merchandise, instead of maintaining neutrality. A reality TV star turned filmmaker also claimed to have suffered substantial financial losses due to these practices. In his interview, Lee rejected the notion that cinemas gain any benefit from exhibiting bias. He explained that decisions to prioritize certain films are driven by business factors, noting that movies with higher commercial potential are given prime screening slots and access to superior facilities.

'Imararungu' album is a deliberate Gakondo movement--Victor Rukotana
Musician Victor Rukotana has, for the past two to three years, been regarded as a cowling baby in Gakondo music. He is now showing signs of taking over since releasing ‘Imararungu’ album, his first full-length project since launching his career in music in 2018. Rukotana’s 10-track album is not just a “regular release.” “It is a “deliberate movement to preserve and elevate the Gakondo genre,” he told The New Times. According to the artiste, Imararungu album is deeply rooted in Rwandan culture, primarily through the use of traditional instruments and themes. One of the standout aspects of the album is its recurring motif: the cow. In Rwanda, cows are more than just livestock; they symbolize wealth, wisdom, and cultural pride, representing the country’s rich history in selective breeding and traditional values.
