Afua Hirsch asks what drives young Nigerians to succeed in fashion, film and music.

Afua Hirsch explores the energy and ambition of Nigerian fashion, film and music, asking what drives young Nigerians to succeed in everything from Afrobeats to Nollywood.

In Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy and home to over a sixth of the continent’s inhabitants, Afua Hirsch explores the energy and ambition of a country at the epicentre of African music, fashion and film.
