The Nigerian Showcase

In the thousands of hours of interviews of some of Nigeria’s best known personalities is the story of how a new Nigeria has evolved.

What were our top celebrities thinking about all those many years ago and how many of them got their dreams fulfilled?

What were the topical issues as entered a new millennium and how far off are those issues from the ones that confront us now?

How has Funmi herself evolved over the years as she uncovers the truth about our societal challenges such as our homophobia that has driven many over the edge while running away from who they are?

Done to world class standard, the sequence is a snippet of what’s coming in the new show where particular attention will be paid to interactive projects ranging from early TV/Web convergence to the latest in web 2.0 technology and innovation.
