Moses Babatope, the Group CEO of Nile Entertainment, and Mo Abudu, the CEO of Ebonylife Group, have teamed up to introduce ‘The Pods’, a fresh and luxurious cinema experience designed for a select audience.
In an official announcement, Nile Media confirmed its partnership with the EbonyLife group to launch a luxury cinema experience across West Africa.

The Nile Group has laid the foundation for partnerships and collaboration. About a month ago, the company announced its first partnership with Omoni Oboli as the official distributor for Wives on Strike 3, which is set to premiere on October 18, 2024.
This new venture with Abudu and EbonyLife Cinemas reflects Nile’s dedication to innovation and excellence. By combining resources and expertise, these partnership aims to deliver a cinema experience like no other.
“The service will cater to a discerning audience that seeks more than just a film screening. This venture taps into a niche market, blending the allure of cinema with the sophistication of gourmet dining, luxurious seating, and advanced audio-visual technology,” the post concluded
