The Business of Content with Simon OwensThis BuzzFeed-like site has become a cultural powerhouse in NigeriaDaniel Orubo had no intention of becoming a media personality when he graduated with an engineering degree in 2013, but his funny tweets just happened to catch the eye of a Nigerian publishing executive who planned to launch a BuzzFeed-like website called Zikoko. Daniel started out as a senior writer, crafting humorous listicles like the "12 characteristics of Nigerian mothers," but over the next half decade he helped transform Zikoko into a cultural force that's willing to discuss hot-button issues around sexuality -- the kind of issues that are typically considered taboo in conservative Nigeria.

Over the last two weeks, there have been protests against police brutality committed by a special unit of the Nigerian Police Force called the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

The Tefo Mohapi ShowBankole Oluwafemi looks back at the evolution of Africa's tech innovation and startup ecosystemIf you had to think back a decade or even 6 or 7 years back, the digital technology media landscape across most parts of Africa was considerably different to what it is today. Most online publications, if any, that covered technology innovation were doing so from a developmental and social impact point of view. If not that, they were covering mostly enterprise technology.
The era of personal digital technology blogs gained popularity somewhere around a decade ago and around 6 or 7 years ago, online media publications focussed purely on digital technology innovation and startups started emerging in different countries across Africa. One such...
