Nigerian football icons Victor Boniface, Frank Onyeka, and Wilfred Ndidi are set to redefine entertainment with The Culture League, a bold talk show that bridges the worlds of sports and pop culture. Produced by Webek Studios in partnership with Kini Media Group, the weekly series will premiere on July 11, 2025, offering a platform where Nigeria’s most influential voices in music, film, fashion, and beyond engage in candid, humorous, and insightful discussions.
Hosted by the charismatic Super Eagles trio, The Culture League captures the energy of Nigeria’s cultural landscape, showcasing the creativity and diversity that define the nation’s global influence. The show features unscripted conversations with an all-Nigerian lineup of guests, including comedy heavyweights Basketmouth and Bovi, music star Odumodublvck, actress Osas Ighodaro, rapper Falz, and media personality VJ Adams. Topics range from fame and family to identity and the intersection of sports and entertainment, delivering authentic stories that resonate with audiences worldwide.
This follows in the footsteps of former Super Eagles star John Obi Mikel, who launched The Obi One Podcast in 2023. Co-hosted with sports broadcaster Chris McHardy, the podcast features Mikel engaging in candid discussions with football figures, sharing insights from his career, dressing room stories, and perspectives on the game. While not exclusively focused on Nigerian football, it prominently reflects Mikel’s identity as a Nigerian football icon.
“The Culture League is more than just a talk show; it’s a reflection of our culture and our generation,” said Esse Akwawa, CEO of Webek Studios. “We wanted to create a space where footballers, artists, and creatives can connect, share their stories, and inspire the next wave of Nigerian talent.” Edith Nwekenta, Creative Director at Webek Studios, added, “This show brings the raw energy of the locker room and the honesty of backstage into one vibrant space. It’s unapologetically Nigerian, built for how people want to engage today—with real stories and real voices.”
Filmed with a focus on authenticity and flair, The Culture League highlights Nigeria’s cultural impact, from viral moments to behind-the-scenes insights, celebrating how local talent has become a global force. The collaboration between Webek Studios and Kini Media Group underscores a shared commitment to producing innovative African content that resonates on a global stage.
Webek Studios, a 360-entertainment company, continues to push boundaries in film, television, and lifestyle content, aiming to make African narratives accessible worldwide. The Culture League marks a significant step in this mission, leveraging the star power of Boniface, Onyeka, and Ndidi to create a cultural movement that transcends borders.
