The most popular way to stay in touch with friends, family, especially celebrities, make new acquaintances, inherit haters and promote hobbies or work is Social Media.
Here is the usage metrics; Facebook boasts 2.7 billion active monthly users, Twitter has 330 million, and 1 billion people enjoy Instagram.
Given the aforementioned, Social media, affords fans the opportunity to peek into the significant moments of people’s lives, as well as smaller, day-to-day activities.
The constant struggle to take the perfect picture with a luxurious impression is real. Many people use photographs and posts to portray their lives in a positive light. They feel competitive and want to be seen as having a happy relationship, a thriving career, adventurous hobbies, or the world’s baddest Butch.
Social media allows its members to curate their life by only opting to showcase their finest moments. It can leave a false impression on their friends and followers, which leaves more people feeling that they have to try to live up to the lives they falsely believe others are leading.
Understandably, people want to be seen in their best light regardless of any economic situation. Still, it’s questionable where some social media participants draw the line picturing social media acceptable lifestyle. Would you break a bank to live a narrative or fake it till you make it?
Join me and my amazing Super Queens on this engaging episode as we highlight the struggle of living an expensive lifestyle.
Let's Ride!
Just when some folks have been trying to figure out how to use the site for maximum cashing out, it looks like OnlyFans is trying to switch things up away from Pornographic contents. Launched in 2016, OnlyFans is a subscription-based social media platform where users can sell and/or purchase original content- typically Pornographic content. Created by 37years old Hertfordshire-based entrepreneur, Timothy Stokely, to create an Instagram-lookalike with a paywall or worth content for the fan to pay monthly subscription ranging from £4.99 to £49.99.
But with ‘fans' paying for content, they expect what creators post to be worth it. And For many, it means seeing adult or pornographic material. The platform soared high in traffic during the COVID Lockdown when mainstream rapper Cardi B, Tyga, Black Chyna, Safaree to mention a few created their onlyfans account. Beyonce also inadvertently caused a 15% spike in the site traffic when she shouted out the site on her featured with Megan the Stallion on Savage Remix, rapping:
"Hips TikTok when I dance (Dance)
On that Demon Time, she might start an OnlyFans (OnlyFans)"In comparison with other profitable social media platforms, OnlyFans has around 17.5 million users worldwide and over 70,000 content creators, who have received over $150 million since its launch. Content creators keep 80 per cent of their income, while the company takes the remaining 20 per cent- This is Cool Money!
And guess what? A lot of Nigerian creators are cashing out in dollars but the question is what's stopping you? Personal values or Home training?

There is a fine line between love, obsession and plain stupidity. When you admire a celebrity or public figure, you might be in too deep and find yourself stuck between loving that person and obsessing over the person. Obsession starts when that person can do no wrong in your eyes even it is obviously wrong.
Whether love or obsession, we love our celebrities and we don't shy away from professing our love for them to the world in our own different ways. Some of us stalk them on social media, some, just a one-night stand will do, some send them gift cards, some follow for the giveaways - we know times are hard (laugh) and some actually travel across the country to catch a tiny little glimpse of them. However ways, with the full knowledge of clout-chasing for the money, hence these questions:
How do you genuinely show love to your favourite celebrity?
When does this show of affection become "Stupidity"
We leave no tables unturned on this episode of FANSTALK.

There’s absolutely no doubt that Nigerian Brands are waxing strong in the ever-evolving fashion industry as they are becoming more expressive and creative in their designs that appeal to many fashion lovers globally.
The industry which is said to have kick-started when Shade Thomas-Fahm, who was the first step into the fashion scene in the early ’60s with the use of traditional African fabrics, and the invention of many styles. This invention birthed the growing industry and the show of her recent display of colours as well as vibrancy.

"I am a fan" is one of the most misinterpreted words.
We are in the day where, if you're infatuated with someone it's not four-letter words you need to say there's more. Some pop culture fans stan a celebrity, movie, or show so hard they coin names for themselves to bond together in their fandom. This Participatory cultures also involve fans acting not only as consumers but also as producers and creators of some form of creative media. They consist of: Relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement strong support for creating and sharing one's creations with others, some type of informal mentorship in which the most experienced members pass along their knowledge to novice members who believe their contributions matter, members who feel some degree of social connection with one another and care about other members' opinions about their contributions. Aside from Sport that has some level of consistency in fanaticism and following in this part of the world. When you consider the rate at which celebs or stars fall out of relevance, you'll ask if there was ever any word like fan loyalty or celebrity fan engagement? It is a fan/celebrity summit on this episode. Enjoy, comment and leave your reviews @jamitfm
Relationships come with their own challenges. There's the toothpaste saga, the makeup stain on the mirror, the mood swings drama. Now imagine, you are famous, loved and a million people are keeping up with your life, taking pictures of those moves, and being treated like a celebrity or even worse " being a celebrity crush".Although true love is a rarity in showbiz, sure it would be easier to deal with a raised toilet seat lid than living in the public eye when it comes to relationships hence the reason for "baby mamas" and "baby daddies". Often times, it is difficult to keep private life private and secrets secret, as fans can't get enough of their favourite celebs. And some celebrities sometimes get carried away with the show and the attention which eventually leads to relationship friction or break up. Some have made it through reported cheating scandals, divorces, and breakups, and they've all had to deal with busy schedules. A few couples have kept their marriages private, but others have aired all of their dirty laundries. Some think avoiding official wedding vows is the key to success, but one couple just celebrated their golden anniversary. It's an informative, hilarious and entertaining as we review top celebrity couple goals and more on this episode.
Cinema culture in Nigeria
The Nigerian movie market has expanded beyond from the growing from mere sales of DVDs and movie shows that it used to be to movie premieres and cinema releases. Thanks to the appreciable growth in the cinematic culture of its people, according to Box Office statistics by the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria.
Although the culture is still in its juvenile stage, but this culture started far back late 19th century during the British Colonial era with 11cinemas and 44 Screens in Lagos. Unfortunately, these cinemas only show American and Asian movies and documentaries at the early stage. The culture that later housed legends like Hubert Ogunde, Adeyemi Afolayan Alade Aromire to mention a few existed until 1994, but died because of the depreciation in the value of Naira.
The question is what really happened? Where is this culture now and how fast or slow has it grown? What happened to the country's National Art theatre?

Mourinho's verbal antics had seeped into Old Trafford and turned it toxic. A 3-1 loss at Anfield was the last straw. Desperate, United put the battle for their very future in the hands of a bright-eyed, baby-faced Scandinavian and an emboldened band of youngsters up for the fight.
"There have been ups and downs," was Solskjaer's assessment, with stunning early form and a famous win in Paris undermined by 2019 defeats to Everton, Bournemouth, Watford, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Cardiff City. But with six wins in eight, victories over City, Chelsea (twice) and Tottenham and the chance of trophies in early 2020, maybe, at last, United have taken decisive action.
All built on the decision to trust youth with the average age of the squad being the lowest in the league. A change in tactics which saw United utilize a system of playing out the back with the central defenders being extra involved in the team play which is reflected in the stats which show the two Manchester United being among the top 3 passers of the ball in the team. But true to his word Solskjaer has experienced some shocking defeats this season which include the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle, 2-0 defeat to West Ham among others. All of which just plainly show a team rebuilding. And a proven better record for Solskjaer in his first games for his club when compared with the current trailblazing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. What does the future hold for Manchester United? Especially when paired up with a club that shares the same coach history. Join the conversation.
From 1G to the more recent 5G network, the worldwide evolution in mobile technology is changing our lives in terms of the way we walk, work, eat and interact. Mobile devices are fast becoming ubiquitous and pervasive technologies ever invented.
Currently, while the whole world is waiting to explore the best of 5G, the wireless network connection from one's mobile phone is a technological innovation that has become a viral sensation. That is the greater the focus towards data-centric networks, the greater is the shift from the circuit-switched services towards packet-switched networks. In other words, consumers will not have to shell out money for the airtime they use, but for the data, they exchange over the wireless medium.
Since the advent of First-Generation Mobile Networks and mobile phones in the early 2000s into the Nigeria market. The technology was voice-centric and catered to putting the telephones on the move, this led to the demands for higher access speeds for multimedia communications.
Let's journey together as we explore the world of mobile technology and phones concerning their logical evolutionary process as well as their setbacks, solutions and future projection.
With so much happenings around the world, there is nothing worse than been home alone with no data, and nothing other than a box transmitting colorful images and sounds that defeat its purpose even after several tunes from the comfort of your couch - there is still no silver lining. Then this rhetorical questions pops up : Is Tv Dead? What really happened? Where are all the interesting shows ?
By now, you’ve probably heard some comments similar to the ones above for both terrestrial and cable TV. If you were asked, when was the last time you watch TV? What will you say?
So let's Rewind to yesterday before the popularization and smartness of mobile devices, when there was so much to catch up to on TV. When broadcast begins by 4pm, end broadcasting by 11:59pm and there was so much to watch on terrestrial channels.
Research has proven that nowadays an average person spend more time on their Smartphones than watching Tv. Hence the growth of digital streaming services being propelled more to traditional cable and satellite television is something that’s not far-fetched for the world. The demise of both medium (cable and terrestrial tv) has been written about for several years now and while most predictions about what will kill it have come to fruition, they continue to hang on. So maybe the demise is inevitable, because it seems like the cards are stacked against it, but perhaps the death will be slower than forecasters predict, and that slower time horizon can give cable companies enough time to adapt to the changing landscape and compete.
So let's explore in this episode of FANSTALK both nostalgic past TV gave us, discuss the top reasons cable tv faces these issues, its irregularities and if streaming service is the new cool.
Nollywood, a self-grown film industry which has fast become the second-largest movie-making industry globally with over 2,500 movies produced annually. Surpassing Hollywood and second to Bollywood, The term "Nollywood" which is a reflection of the two world-famous film industries. Although the name 'Nollywood' still sparks controversy among stakeholders in Nigeria film industry till, this name was first used in 2002 by Norimitsu Onishi, a journalist in New York Times, in his article after observing the film making processes in Lagos Nigeria.
Early Nigeria film industry or should call it Nollywood became popular and characterized by a kind of home video production quality and a showcase of the rich cultural heritage, values not to mention it authentic storylines and a distinctive storytelling method.
More recently, however, the Nigerian movie industry is improving their craft in term picture and sound quality but it seems like the rich Jollof essence served through its storylines is becoming watery thanks to westernization and struggle fit into the new culture "Cinema". Though this culture is paying off but has left major Producers and stakeholders picking and star-studying popular names and faces over real talents, and it has also limited the scope of creation to either romance or comedy.
Nollywood is now producing more genres like horror, period pieces, musicals, animations, and even nolly-noir at the industry-standard picture and sound quality- which are impeccable. But how resounding is it globally?
While few stakeholders have been standing for the art and values for decades, some are rather in for the quick goodie bag, while just some have retracted their path to the origin by bringing to relevance and remaking the first Nollywood classic "Living in Bondage". This prompted our quest into the "Good Ole Nolly".
Be my guest, and drop your favourite nolly classics below in the comment section and on all social and streaming platforms @Jamitfm @Banjioflagos
