BBC’s What’s Up Africa brings you news, but not as you know it
He’s been a pastor, a high-flying football manager and the president
of Katwana; now he’s returning to screens to play more comedic
characters in the brand new series of What’s Up Africa.
That’s right, the wait is over and Ikenna Azuike – the critically
acclaimed Nigerian-born vlogger – is back to bring more belly laughs to
the BBC World News’ daily African news programme, Focus on Africa.
Unravelling complex issues with laughter, nobody and nothing is safe
from Azuike’s fun-poking. From cults to corruption and chart-toppers to
chiefs, Ikenna finds the funny side of stories from across the continent
for the popular satirical news segment, What’s Up Africa.
“What’s Up Africa has built up quite a
following over the past five series, and I think that’s because there
are no taboo topics on this show,” said Ikenna Azuike. “Humour can break
down barriers and so the show is able to tackle issues across the
continent head on.”
A 90-second episode of What’s Up Africa will broadcast every Friday with a round-up of the latest news from across the continent. Catch it on Focus on Africa
from 17:30 GMT on BBC World News and on the BBC’s partner stations:
Canal 2 in Cameroon; Metro TV in Ghana; Power TV in Liberia; MBC in
Malawi; One Africa Television in Namibia; SBC in Somalia, SBLC in Sierra
Leone, Star TV in Tanzania; Urban TV and TV West in Uganda; and ZNBC in
Zambia.
What’s Up Africa, produced by Jollof Rice Productions, will air from 8th September.
You can also view the episode across a range of the BBC’s social media platforms including Facebook.com/bbcafrica on Twitter @BBCAfrica and online at BBC.com/Africa.
