Best of 2022: 5 positive stories from 2022
Positive stories from 2022

I speak for the majority, if not everyone, when I say that 2022 was a year at full speed.

It has been an action-packed year, from entertainment (shout out to Afrobeats stars and Nollywood who stayed at the top of their games) to economic events that never seemed to catch a break.

  2. Despite the global slowdown in cinema business, Nollywood movies Brotherhood and King of Thieves grossed over ₦300 million each.

  3. Nigeria has its first World Record in Track and Field history as Tobi Amusan raced to the top in the World Athletics Championships and Commonwealth Games.
