Happy Birthday, Mrs. Chidinma Prince-Abbi

The brilliant voice behind the charmingly complex and superficially materialistic Nkechi Okofar, Alamu’s love interest in our Afro-Urban Motion Comic Drama “Alamu: Diary of a Street Lagosian.” She didn’t just voice the role; She embodied it. Through her tone, rhythm, and nuanced inflections, she transformed Nkechi into a living, breathing part of Lagos - captivating, flawed, and utterly human.

Thank you for bringing such beauty, passion, and authenticity to our creative world.

Here’s to more magic, more creativity, endless opportunities, and more unforgettable voices.

Love from all of us at ComicsDI

A PODCAST WAS NEVER PART OF THE PLAN.

But when our Afro-Urban Motion Comic Drama Series- Alamu: Diary of a Street Lagosian Season One (part 2) came knocking, the idea of a podcast crept in during a team meeting, and wouldn’t leave.

At first, I resisted. Too much work, too much research, too much… everything.
But then it hit me, why wait for platforms when you can create one?
That’s how this limited podcast series was born.

And now, as we close with Episode 4- “African Comic Villains and Antiheroes: Why We Love Complex Characters”- I can say this journey stretched me, shaped me, and despite the fear of failing at this, I learnt a significant lesson; For creatives, failure doesn’t really exist… only lessons that make us better creators.

Join me for the grand finale. Let’s celebrate imperfection, depth, and the beauty of the human (and not-so-human) condition.

Listen, reflect, and create.

WHAT’S IN A STORY?

A few years ago, I had the rare honour of adapting the legendary Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s autobiography titled “Awo” as a source material for a comic script.

Reading through his life: the conflicts, the challenges, the triumphs, I saw the roots of his visionary ideals:

• Free education for all.
• Free healthcare for children.
• Africa’s first TV service in 1959.

His story reminded me that storytelling is more than entertainment. It shapes perception, preserves culture, and inspires action.

Tomorrow, on the Alamu Series Podcast, I dive into the heartbeat of every great tale- Conflict, through the lens of villains and anti-heroes. These characters drive drama, push heroes, and often reflect uncomfortable truths about society and ourselves.

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this African masterclass in comic storytelling.
Tune in tomorrow. Save the date!

Why Not Motion Comics? The Art Lives On!

Everyone asked why I ventured into motion comics- a “forgotten” medium in a 3D-driven world.
My answer? Why not.

Art evolves, but it never dies. The rise of 3D doesn’t erase the soul of 2D. Just as the thrill of film doesn’t make stage plays obsolete. Every medium has its own power.

With the release of the penultimate episode of “Alamu: Diary of a Street Lagosian”, The Pawn Master, we’ve just hit our fastest growth rate of the entire season.

That tells me one thing: African motion comics can redefine creativity, innovation, and storytelling when done right.

Enjoy this clip from The Pawn Master.

This is the penultimate chapter of Alamu: Diary of a Street Lagosian. Are you ready to unmask the truth?

She Remains Hopeful

She bleeds, and keeps on bleeding,
Wounded by her very own.
Stained by the greed of her people,
Her fame, her game, her name- tarnished.
Yet still, she remained hopeful.

She dared to raise her voice for change,
But it was ignored.
Instead, she was trampled upon
By those she trusted-
Those who should have lifted her.
Her source of hope, joy, and strength
Became her deepest regret,
And few cared to notice.
She looked on with sorrowful eyes,
Yet still, she remained hopeful.

How did she arrive here?
With such potential, she seemed bound for greatness.
But today, she doubted it-
Clutching her chest in pain
As tears danced freely down her face.

She searched the crowd,
Hoping to glimpse the few
Who still believed in her future.
And she did.
She sighed in fragile relief,
Not knowing when, how, or who-
But trusting that one day she will rise.

Her name and fame restored,
The luster of her glory rekindled.
For through it all,
She remains hopeful.
