James Abinibi’s ‘Life and Dirt’ tops Prime Video charts in Nigeria

Celebrity Gig

Abinibi’s work, Life and Dirt, quickly cemented its place as the latest must-watch on Amazon Prime Video, climbing to the top spot in three countries – Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon within a week of its debut on the video streaming platform.

Evidently, the five-episode series captivates audiences across the continent with its thrilling narrative and delivers a gripping and emotionally charged storyline that blends humour, drama, and the struggles of navigating life’s complexities.

Its rapid ascent to the top of the Amazon Prime charts in Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon speaks volumes about its impact and widespread appeal.

Behind this hit production are two powerhouses of Nigerian entertainment. Life and Dirt was produced and directed by Nigerian filmmaker James Abinibi, known for his creative storytelling and nuanced portrayals of complex characters. Adding to its charm is the strong involvement of Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugbomma, who not only served as the writer, executive producer, and co-director but also played the lead role in the project. Bovi’s strong character and comedic touch bring a unique flair to the production, striking a balance between its dramatic intensity and lighthearted moments while still maintaining the emotional depth of Yoshua’s journey.
