Celebrated for his dynamic stage presence, Ebuka will lead the event, honouring Nollywood’s influential stars, industry veterans, and visionary contributors whose talents have shaped the global film landscape.
The upcoming Lights, Camera… Naija! event is scheduled for November 2.
His reputation as one of Nigeria’s top media personalities, coupled with his trend-setting fashion choices, has solidified him as a cultural icon, often creating viral moments with his standout style.
With last year’s premiere event setting a high bar, Lights, Camera… Naija! gathered stars from across Africa to celebrate the vibrant artistry of Nollywood in Lagos, marking a new era for the industry.
The event became a melting pot for diverse talents, uniting actors, filmmakers, and creators from Nigeria and beyond, all dedicated to storytelling and cultural exchange. Attendees praised the platform for spotlighting Nollywood’s impact on African cinema, creating an unparalleled space for collaboration and recognition.
Building on that momentum, Netflix aims to make this second edition even more spectacular, further establishing Lights, Camera… Naija! as a beacon for African talent on the global stage.
With Ebuka at the helm, the event promises not only a glamorous showcase but also a tribute to the powerful role Nollywood plays in representing African stories worldwide, underscoring the pride and heritage of African cinema in front of an international audience.
This year’s theme, “Pioneers, Pillars, and Players,” pays homage to the groundbreaking legends who set the industry’s foundations, the behind-the-scenes creatives—directors, producers, and crew members—who drive Nollywood’s success, and the captivating actors who continue to charm audiences worldwide.
