Pastor Basil Chukwuezi, Owner, Edensquire E & R Services Limited delivering his welcome address.

Cinewav is a high-tech innovative way of enjoying movies that is redefining cinema around the world.

Cinewav officially launched operations in Nigeria on Saturday, July 25, 2026 in Lagos. This brings the localized immersive high-fidelity audio in sync with movies infrastructure for the first time in West Africa. The launching was anchored by EDEN SQUARE TV working closely with Cinewav of Singapore. Apart from the general public, corporate, finance and regulatory authorities were well represented:.

“For us, this launch was more than introducing a new technology. It was about starting a conversation on how audio can improve the way people experience events in Nigeria. The response we received was encouraging, and many guests expressed interest in partnering with us. This event is more than a movie screening; it is an opportunity to witness how technology and storytelling can come together to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. Our goal is to bring together leaders, organizations, creatives, religious organizations, media professionals, students, and lovers of meaningful entertainment to experience this groundbreaking innovation and be part of a new chapter in immersive cinema in Nigeria," said Pastor Basil Chukwuezi, the project lead for the launch.

In attendance at the occasion were top industry executives from corporate, development finance and regulatory authorities, including the Mr. Ailewon Paul Danlami, Deputy Director, Operations who represented Dr, Shaibu Hussein, the Executive Director of the National Film & Video Censors Board (NFVCB), Bank of Industry (Mrs. Cynthia Nwuka, General Manager, LED Directorate), Committee of Relevant Art (CORA – Jahman Anikulapo, Program Chair), Film One (Joseph Awodele/Samuel Adegilege), Keskese Limited (Tijani Abdulmalik), Nigerian Bottling Company (Terfa Tsughum), Gosporella International (DJ Gosporella), to mention but a few.

While thanking the Nigeria team for the launch, Jason Chan the Co-founder of Cinewav expressed his desire for a rapid roll out of Cinewav across Africa: “Thank you Pastor Basil, Michael and the team in Nigeria for giving us such a warm launch for Cinewav in Nigeria. We're quite overwhelmed by the response and hope that this is the beginning of the spread of Cinewav in Nigeria and Africa; bringing cinemas to many people, democratizing cinema and allowing the spread of great messages through film on the large screen. We hope this will help build communities around stories no matter how big or small. That is our dream and I hope you guys can help to make this come true. Thank you again for believing in this technology”.

This launch is only the beginning. Our vision is to make quality audio accessible to every audience member, no matter the size of the event or where they are seated.

Founded in 2018, Cinewav has pioneered synchronized audio technology for audiences around the world. We are excited to bring that innovation to Nigeria.

"We sincerely appreciate everyone who attended our launch, believed in our vision, and supported us as we introduced Cinewav to Nigeria. 

The goal is to have Cinewav powered cinemas in every neighborhood in Nigeria."

Cinewav has already launched from the headquarters in Singapore to other countries, including the following:

Malaysia: Routine community events and regional marketing.

Indonesia: Frequently utilized for destination events, such as beach screenings in Bali.

Vietnam: Used to broadcast large-scale tourism synchronized sound tracks, such as the Danang International Fireworks Festival.

Philippines: Hosted public movie events and localized entertainment experiences.

Australia: Deployed at major city-wide cultural events like Vivid Sydney.

Cinewav delivers immersive, high fidelity audio perfectly in sync with the visuals. This allows any space to be turned into an outdoor or indoor cinema.

Cinewav is actively holding events and expanding its platform across at least 7 countries, primarily focusing on the Asia-Pacific region and recent international expansions. Because Cinewav operates as a customized event-based software rather than a generic streaming service, availability is tied directly to the countries where public screenings, festivals, and corporate partnerships are hosted. 

Global Patent Footprint

While active event deployment is concentrated in the territories above, the company holds global operational patents across 5 major international legal systems: the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore. This infrastructure allows organizers in those additional regions to legally license the master player software for future pop-up cinemas.

Cinewav makes Vivid Sydney more Immersive with Personalised Audio
Ravepubs, 2023: "At Vivid Sydney 2023, May 26 to June 17, visitors will be able to discover a whole new way of experiencing immersive, super-sized light and animations with their own personalised audio."

First Fireworks Show with Wireless Audio for your headphones is a vision of the future
Techradar, 2023: "

Traditionally, event sites have a large-scale audio distribution system installed in main audience areas but not in all spectator vantage points. Our fireworks displays can (now) be designed to be viewed by spectators spread over several kilometres of an event site or city, not just the front row of seats. This technology gives the power of music to the people to ensure they can hear the music soundtrack."

Firework Festival Goers are in Sync with Cinewav 
ProAVL, Asia 2023: "It truly inspired me. I was struck at the sound quality which perfectly matched the visuals. This is also the first time in Vietnam that a renowned festival like DIFF applies this technology. I think this will be a new and exciting experience that visitors will surely enjoy. DIFF 2023 is a great way to showcase international talent to a local audience, to attract tourists to the area and promote the local economy and businesses. I believe that Cinewav is a game changer for large-scale events."

Impact
Cinewav and it's partners have collectively done over a thousand movie screenings, dozens of fireworks, drone and projection mapping shows. We've served over 85,000 users globally and growing daily.

The impact of clear, personalised, synced audio for large scale shared experiences is still underestimated. This is just the beginning!

Monalisa Chinda Coker Returns To The Big Screen In Aguiyi Ikeobi Ndubuisi’s "INFANT AT HEART Set To Premiere In West African Cinemas August 29, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monalisa Chinda Coker Returns To The Big Screen In Aguiyi Ikeobi Ndubuisi’s I»f»»ľ dľ Hc»»ľ, Set To Premiere In West African Cinemas August 29, 2025

Monalisa Chinda Coker plays Justice Ngozi Chimerije, a mother grieving her late child in INFANT AT HEART, premiering in cinemas across French West Africa from August 29.

Nollywood actress Monalisa Chinda Coker is making her much-anticipated return to the big screen in INFANT AT HEART (“CŒUR BLESSÉ” in French), a gripping drama-thriller from Nigerian filmmaker Aguiyi Ikeobi Ndubuisi (also known as “Ikeobi Silence”). The film will premiere in cinemas across Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroun, and Senegal on Friday,

August 29, 2025, with Tribe Nation Theatrical Distribution Limited handling its release across the three territories.

Produced by Vera Kanu and written and directed by Ndubuisi, INFANT AT HEART follows the haunting journey of Justice Ngozi Chimerije, a woman whose life is upended after the devastating loss of her only child. Struggling to confront long-buried trauma, her fragile world is further shaken when her brother-in-law moves in to pursue his studies.

At the same time, a chilling murder case lands on her desk, pulling her into a psychological spiral where reality blurs and her very survival is at stake.

The film reunites audiences with Monalisa Chinda Coker in a commanding performance, alongside an ensemble of celebrated Nollywood stars including Nkem Owoh “Osuofia”, Williams Uchemba, Emeka Darlington, Mike Durueke, Emeka Enyiocha, and Bryan

Emmanuel. Together, they bring to life a tense and emotionally charged story that explores grief, resilience, and the shadows of the human psyche.

“INFANT AT HEART is not just a film—it’s an emotional journey that will resonate deeply with anyone who has faced loss or confronted the truth within themselves,” said director Aguiyi Ikeobi Ndubuisi. “We’re excited to share this story with Francophone West African audiences in a way that speaks directly to their hearts.”

A production of Afrigold TV Limited, INFANT AT HEART will be released in both English and subtitled French, ensuring accessibility for audiences across Côte d'Ivoire,

Cameroun, and Senegal when it arrives in cinemas on August 29, 2025. The release will be distributed exclusively by Tribe Nation Theatrical Distribution Limited, a leading force in African film distribution that recently brought Tolu Ajayi’s OVER THE BRIDGE to audiences across eight countries in French West Africa, further solidifying its reputation for delivering compelling African stories to diverse audiences.

Monalisa Chinda Coker Fait Son Grand Retour Sur Grand Écran Dans Cœu» Blcssé D’Aguiyi Ikeobi Ndubuisi, En Salles En Afrique De L’ouest À Partir Du 29 Août 2025

Monalisa Chinda Coker incarne Justice Ngozi Chimerije, une mère en deuil de son enfant dans INFANT AT HEART, qui sortira en salles à travers l’Afrique de l’Ouest francophone à partir du 29

Produit par Vera Kanu et écrit et réalisé par Ndubuisi, CŒUR BLESSÉ raconte le parcours bouleversant de Justice Ngozi Chimerije, une femme dont la vie bascule après la perte tragique de son unique enfant. Alors qu’elle tente d’affronter un traumatisme enfoui depuis longtemps, son équilibre fragile est encore ébranlé lorsque son beau-frère emménage chez elle pour poursuivre ses études.

The Best Solution To Increase The Number of Cinemas in Nigeria

In previous articles, I have already addressed the increasing challenge of lack of enough cinemas to meet the increasing demand for cinemas with the growing population of Nigeria that has the largest film industry in Africa celebrated for the phenomenal Nollywood that produces thousands of low budget movies annually. But there is a deficit in revenues of the box office caused by the unavailability of cinemas in majority of the states in Nigeria with only about 400 standard screens in the most populous country in Africa with a population of over 200 million people.

In 2012, I attracted the IMAX Corporation of Canada to consider having an IMAX cinema in Nigeria and in 2013 the corporation sent  Mr. Giovanni Dolci, the Senior Vice President, Theatre Development and Managing Director, Europe and Africa to meet with me in Lagos. We had an important meeting with the Creative Industry Group (CIG) of the Bank of Industry and met with the officials of the Umuwo Odofin Local Government for the location of an IMAX cinema on 10 acres of land in the popular FESTAC Town which I have planned to be called FESTAC IMAX Plaza with a mega shopping mall and car park for 1000 vehicles. My duly incorporated International Digital Post Network Limited signed a partnership agreement with the IMAX Corporation for 10 years (it expired in 2023). But after meeting with other stakeholders in the Nigerian film industry, IMAX went ahead of my plans to partner with the FilmOne Entertainment Group to build the Filmhouse IMAX cinema in 2016 located in Lekki on the Lagos Island. This is the first IMAX cinema in Nigeria and the rest of West Africa. 

The IMAX cinema is for only a minority of those who can afford the tickets and glasses. 

There can be at least two IMAX cinemas in every local government area in Nigeria.

They can be built by the local government or state government in partnership with private investors. And they can be highly profitable with competent and efficient management.

There are more than 30 million people in Nigeria who can afford to pay for the tickets and glasses. They belong to the fastest growing middle class population in Africa. But without effective marketing and public relations strategies, they will not be attracted to the IMAX cinema.

The FESTAC IMAX Plaza I proposed would have been more profitable to the IMAX Corporation and Nigerian film industry, because there are more people in FESTAC Town who can afford the prices for the tickets and glasses than the people in Lekki

FESTAC has the dynamic demographics of the lower class, middle class and upper middle class people in the same location with the most upwardly mobile young Nigerians in the Umuwo Odofin Local Government Area; one of the most dynamic local government areas in Nigeria.

Feasibility studies are necessary before starting any business venture and they include the researches on the economics and demographics of the population of Nigeria. 

You have to do Macroeconomic research and Microeconomic research on the entertainment industry, including the film, television, theatre and music industries of Nigeria.

All the researches are important, relevant and significant to the development of cinemas to supply on demand according to the needs assessment of the target audience. 

You must always supply on demand.

You cannot supply mangoes to monkeys when you know that monkeys love bananas.

You cannot supply cassavas to rabbits when they prefer carrots.

Cinewav Instant Cinemas: 

One Village, One Cinema Plan for Nigeria

In 2022, I signed an affiliate partnership with the Cinewav Pte. Ltd of Singapore for the introduction of low cost instant cinemas in Nigeria with the estimation for 3, 096 cinemas in all the 774 local government areas in the country with 4 cinemas in each local government area after a comprehensive feasibility study from the research on the demographics of the population of Nigeria.

Each cinema will cost N10, 000, 000 (ten million naira), including the training of two operators by Cinewav.

Cinewav Instant cinemas are mobile and can be installed within one hour at every location in every village square, town hall or school in every community.

The cinemas can be inside estates in the villages, towns and cities in Nigeria.

There are solar powered Cineplex when there is no electric power supply.

The low cost cinemas will sell affordable tickets for the majority of the population of Nigeria.

3, 096 cinemas in 774 local government areas with 4 cinemas in each local government area will generate a monthly revenue of more than N7, 856, 000, 000 ( seven billion, eight hundred and fifty six million naira) and over N94, 272, 000, 000 (ninety four billion, two hundred and seventy two million naira) annually.

Cinema - Nigeria | Statista Market Forecast

Revenue in the Cinema market is projected to reach US$123.50m in 2024.
Revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2029) of 5.89%, resulting in a projected market volume of US$164.40m by 2029.
In the Cinema market, the number of viewers is expected to amount to 9.3m users by 2029.
User penetration will be 3.5% in 2024 and is expected to hit 3.6% by 2029.
The average revenue per viewer is expected to amount to US$15.59.
In global comparison, most revenue will be generated in the United States (US$20,980.00m in 2024)."

The Cinewav Instant cinemas will increase the annual revenues of the Nigerian film industry and create thousands of jobs in Nigeria.

The Nuances of Igbo Narrative Drama in Nollywood

The Nuances of Igbo Narrative Drama in Nollywood

There should be film studies on 

the nuances of Igbo Narrative Drama in Nollywood. Because the studies are important, relevant and significant in Nigerian Cinema, contemporary art of Igbo culture and history and African studies for both academic scholarship and public knowledge.

There is a study on "THE NUANCED FEMINISM IN GENEVIEVE NNAJI'S LIONHEART" by Uche Omar.

I have viewed the trailer of a new Nigerian drama in Igbo language with some dialogue in English sent to me from the UK.

From the intriguing and thrilling scenarios, I can tell that this would be one of the must see movies of the year in Nigeria.

A Chief Judge fails to mature from her experiences at a Covent as a murder case threatens to eclipse her.

I can see the genius of the director in the clips in the trailer.

The casting, acting by the accomplished actors, including the current most popular Nollywood actor at the cinemas in West Africa; the cinematography; sound; costume and makeup are impressive in the storytelling in motion picture comparable to the best dramas by accomplished filmmakers in the world.

I have been calling for Nigerian drama as good as the best Korean drama, English drama, American drama and Indian drama.

This Igbo drama most likely would be what I can call, "This is it!"

I have deliberately decided not to mention the names of the principal actors. The hint of the current most popular Nollywood actor in West Africa is enough for anyone who truly knows this outstanding actor of international repute.

This should be the best Igbo drama since Genevieve Nnaji's "Lionheart" released in 2018.

This one will attract more people in Nigeria and other countries, because crime thrillers pull more crowds to the cinemas and attract more viewers on TV and streaming channels, especially psychological drama with romance and intriguing characters.

The trailer is not yet available for public viewing.

The Estimated Target Audience of Christian Cinema in Nigeria

The Estimated Target Audience of Christian Cinema in Nigeria

Christian Cinema is for evangelism, church planting and increasing the faith of believers as there is widespread decreasing passion for the gospel in Nigeria and we believe showing powerful facts of the Holy Bible can revive our faith in God and ignite the Pentecostal revival in Nigeria through Cinema Evangelism with the regular screenings of 

 Christian films in all the local government areas in the country with films dubbed in Arabic, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and other local languages.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1368604/christian-population-in-africa-by-country/

Professed and practicing Christians in Nigeria are estimated to be 46. 8 percent of the over 201 million people in the country. And they are the largest populations in the southern states and in the middle belt states. 

The northern states are predominantly Muslims.

The estimated target audience of Christian Cinema in Nigeria will be 18, 576, 000 people annually in all the 774 local government areas in the country with more than 80 percent of them from the south and middle belt.

There will be screenings mostly in the churches, followed by screenings in town halls and village squares or centres.

Tickets will sell from N100 (one hundred naira) to N500 (five hundred naira) per person.

Special private screenings will be provided for Christian groups and others with the tickets selling from N2000 (two thousand naira).

CCN will generate an estimated N29, 288, 000, 000 (Twenty Nine Billion and Two Hundred and Eighty-Eight Million Naira) annually from the sales of tickets and from advertisements.

We have received the partnership support of Cinewav of Singapore for instant cinemas to support Nigerians to have solar powered cineplex in every village in Nigeria.
