Ace comedian, Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, tells TOFARATI IGE about his career, the comedy industry and other issues
What
has been your experience making the sitcom, ‘Flatmates’?
One of the first issues we faced at the beginning had to do with stories. When we started the project, they (Multichoice) hired writers but they could not tell our stories for us. They were Nigerians but they were not sitcom writers; they were more of drama writers, so we struggled initially. After some time, I said it could not continue that way and we needed to restructure. So, we changed everything and the stories changed. They (executive producers) cut me some slack and I appreciate them for that because it was not something they normally did.
Consistency, perseverance needed to succeed in business –Ugwu The Punch

Michael Ugwu is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Freeme Digital. He tells TOFARATI IGE about running a business in the entertainment industry
Why did you set up your company?
While running IROKing, the company had a main competitor, which was Spinlet. At that time, both companies were very competitive as we had both raised venture capital funding. We both signed artistes and were both very successful at disrupting the music industry in much improved ways. However, both platforms faced issues with locking artistes into suboptimal contracts and suboptimal platforms. Artistes could not put their music on other platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify unless we did it ourselves.
