James Cameron’s Avatar franchise has once again proven its box office power.
The third installment, Avatar: Fire and Ash, has debuted with a massive $345 million global opening weekend, officially becoming the second-biggest opening of 2025 so far.
A Strong Global Start
According to early box office reports, Avatar: Fire and Ash earned approximately $88 million from North America, while international markets contributed about $257 million, highlighting the franchise’s continued global appeal .
International territories once again played a major role in driving the film’s opening numbers, especially in key markets where the Avatar brand has historically performed well.
Second Biggest Opening of 2025
With its $345 million debut, Fire and Ash now ranks as the second-largest global opening of 2025, trailing only Zootopia 2, which currently holds the top spot for the year .
The achievement places Avatar: Fire and Ash ahead of several high-profile releases this year, confirming audience anticipation for the next chapter in Cameron’s sci-fi saga.
How It Compares to Previous Avatar Films
While the opening weekend is slightly below Avatar: The Way of Water, which launched with over $441 million globally in 2022, industry analysts note that the current performance still represents a very strong start, particularly given changing cinema attendance trends worldwide .
Box office observers expect the film to show strong legs in the coming weeks, especially in international markets where Avatar films traditionally enjoy extended theatrical runs.
The impressive debut of Avatar: Fire and Ash strengthens confidence in the future of the franchise, with additional sequels already planned.
American rapper Nicki Minaj has explained why she decided to publicly address reports of attacks on Christians in Nigeria, saying her comments were driven by personal ties to the country and concern over alleged violence against worshippers.
Nicki Minaj made the remarks during a surprise appearance at AmericaFest on Sunday while responding to a question from Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Speaking on stage, the rapper said Nigeria is a country she has long felt connected to, both personally and spiritually.
According to Nicki Minaj, her pastor is Nigerian, and she also has a large Nigerian fan base, often referred to as “Nigerian Barbz.” She said these connections made reports of attacks on Christians in the country especially troubling to her.
“Nigeria is a place I’ve always loved,” Minaj said. “Someone very dear to me, my pastor, is Nigerian, and I have lots of Nigerian barbs.”
She added that reports of worshippers being attacked during church services pushed her to speak out publicly.
“So hearing that people are being kidnapped while they’re in church, people are being killed, brutalised, all because of their religion; that should spark outrage,” she said.
Nicki Minaj stressed that she believes speaking up is necessary, regardless of criticism. “We’re not backing down anymore. We are not going to be silenced by the bullies anymore. We will speak up for Christians wherever they are in this world,” she stated.
The rapper also spoke more broadly about religious freedom, saying many people take the ability to worship freely for granted. She noted that while some communities can openly practice their faith, others are forced to worship in fear.
“We take for granted that there, right now in this world, are people who cannot worship God as they please, where they please,” Nicki Minaj said. “Every time we pray in fellowship, we have to remember the people that are right now in this world hiding to pray in fellowship, and we have to pray for them.”
Her comments follow an earlier social media reaction to a post by former United States President Donald Trump, who wrote on October 31 that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria.” Reacting on November 1, Nicki Minaj said reading the post made her feel grateful for the freedom to worship in the United States.
“We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practising their religion,” she wrote.
At AmericaFest, Nicki Minaj also praised Trump and Vice President JD Vance, adding that Christians also face challenges in the United States, though in different forms.
“Christians have been persecuted right here in our country in different ways,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government of Nigeria has repeatedly rejected claims that Christians are being systematically or officially persecuted in the country. Government officials have maintained that Nigeria’s security challenges affect people of all religions and ethnic backgrounds, and are linked to broader issues such as banditry, terrorism, and communal conflicts.
Despite the official response, Nicki Minaj insists her comments are rooted in concern for religious freedom and the safety of worshippers, saying she felt compelled to use her platform to draw attention to the issue.
Morocco began their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaign with a solid 2–0 victory over Comoros, sending an early warning to the rest of the continent about their title ambitions.
After a tense first half that ended goalless, the Atlas Lions showed their quality in the second half, scoring twice to secure all three points.
The opening 45 minutes were tightly contested. Morocco dominated possession and controlled the tempo, but Comoros remained compact and disciplined at the back. Clear chances were limited, and both teams went into halftime without a goal.
Despite Morocco’s attacking depth, Comoros frustrated their opponents with organised defending and quick transitions, forcing Morocco to remain patient.
The breakthrough finally came in the 55th minute, when Brahim Díaz found the back of the net. The Real Madrid forward calmly finished after sustained pressure from Morocco, lifting the weight off his team’s shoulders.
The goal immediately shifted the momentum of the game, with Morocco growing in confidence and Comoros struggling to regain control.
Morocco wrapped up the win in the 74th minute through Ayoub El Kaabi, who produced a stunning overhead kick to double the lead. The goal stood out as one of the early highlights of the tournament and effectively ended Comoros’ hopes of a comeback.
This win gives Morocco a strong start in their AFCON group, reinforcing their status as one of the tournament favourites. With attacking depth, defensive stability, and individual brilliance on display, the Atlas Lions will be confident heading into their next fixture.
For Comoros, the result was a tough opening, but their defensive discipline in the first half showed they are capable of competing at this level if they improve their attacking output.
Final Score
Morocco 2–0 Comoros
Goals: Brahim Díaz (55’), Ayoub El Kaabi (74’)

Popular Nigerian filmmaker and actress Funke Akindele has officially announced the return of her hit YouTube series, Aiyetoro Town, with Season 2 set to premiere soon.
The confirmation came via a post shared on her verified X (formerly Twitter) account, where she revealed that the series will be returning “back and better” on the FAANtv YouTube channel.
Funke Akindele Announces the Return ofAiyetoro Town
In her post, Funke Akindele wrote:
“Coming soon, back and better! Aiyetoro Town (The Series) will be back shortly on the FAANtv YouTube channel and yes, we’re coming back bigger, better, and full of premium drama.”
The announcement was accompanied by an official poster boldly stating “Aiyetoro Town 2: The Series – Will Be Back!”, confirming that the new season is already in motion.
Where to Watch Aiyetoro Town
According to the announcement, Aiyetoro Town Season 2 will stream exclusively on FAANtv’s YouTube channel. Fans who may have missed earlier episodes can also catch up on previous episodes available on the channel.
The return of Aiyetoro Town adds to Funke Akindele’s growing list of successful projects across film, television, and digital platforms. In recent years, she has consistently delivered record-breaking cinema releases and highly streamed series, further cementing her status as one of Nollywood’s most influential creatives.
Every year, hundreds of films are released across cinemas and streaming platforms. Some become cultural moments. Others quietly disappear. And then there are the few that attract overwhelming criticism from professional reviewers.
In 2025, Metacritic, one of the most respected review aggregation platforms in the entertainment industry published its list of the worst-reviewed movies of the year, based purely on critics’ scores. The result was a diverse but deeply underwhelming collection of films that failed to impress across genres, budgets, and expectations.
This article breaks down the 13 worst movies of 2025, explains why they landed at the bottom, and explores the common mistakes that defined many of these releases.
What Is Metacritic and How Does the Metascore Work?
Before diving into the list, it’s important to understand how Metacritic evaluates films.
Metacritic is a review aggregation website that collects professional critic reviews from trusted publications and outlets around the world. Instead of showing only star ratings or opinions, Metacritic converts each review into a numeric score between 0 and 100.
These scores are then weighted based on the credibility and influence of the publication, producing a final average known as the Metascore.
How Metascore Ratings Are Interpreted:
81–100: Universal acclaim
61–80: Generally favorable reviews
40–60: Mixed or average reviews
20–39: Generally unfavorable reviews
0–19: Overwhelming dislike
The films on this list fall almost entirely in the bottom two categories, meaning critics largely agreed that these movies failed in storytelling, execution, or creative vision.
The 13 Worst Movies of 2025 (By Metascore)
War of the Worlds
This sci-fi adaptation finished 2025 as the lowest-rated movie of the year on Metacritic. Critics widely criticized its poor visual effects, lack of emotional weight, and unimaginative approach to a well-known story. Despite its ambitious premise, the film struggled to justify its existence.
Playdate
What was marketed as a lighthearted action-comedy ended up being one of the year’s biggest critical disappointments. Reviewers pointed to weak jokes, uneven pacing, and a storyline that never fully came together.
Gunslingers
This Western drama was expected to bring grit and style but instead delivered flat dialogue and an overly familiar plot. Critics felt the film relied too heavily on genre clichés without adding anything fresh or memorable.
Alarum
Despite its action-heavy trailer and strong cast, Alarum failed to impress critics. Reviews described it as noisy but empty, with confusing storytelling and little emotional payoff.
Bride Hard
A comedy that aimed to mix wedding chaos with action tropes, Bride Hard was widely criticized for being unfunny and predictable. Many reviewers noted that the film struggled to balance its tone, resulting in awkward humor and weak character development.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2
Following the commercial success of the first film, this sequel received harsher critical treatment. While fans of the franchise found moments to enjoy, critics pointed out repetitive scares, thin plotting, and a lack of originality.
Shadow Force
This action thriller failed to leave a lasting impression. Critics cited bland performances, predictable action sequences, and a script that felt unfinished.
The Strangers: Chapter 2
Horror sequels are notoriously difficult to get right, and this one struggled to justify its continuation. Reviews described the film as repetitive, lacking tension, and overly dependent on familiar scare tactics.
Hurry Up Tomorrow
One of the more divisive films on the list, Hurry Up Tomorrow was criticized for being unfocused and self-indulgent. While it attempted to explore deeper themes, critics felt the execution was confusing rather than thoughtful.
The Electric State
One of the most surprising entries on the list, The Electric State arrived with a massive budget and major star power. Critics, however, were unimpressed, describing the film as visually ambitious but emotionally hollow, with a story that never fully connected.
Juliet & Romeo
This modern musical reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s classic love story struggled to find its audience. Critics felt the film lacked emotional depth and failed to make its creative risks worthwhile.
Smurfs
Intended as a family-friendly reboot, Smurfs failed to charm critics. Reviews highlighted predictable jokes, thin storytelling, and a lack of the warmth that once made the franchise appealing.
Regretting You
Adapted from a popular novel, this emotional drama was criticized for shallow character work and an overly melodramatic approach that failed to translate well to the screen.
Some of these titles may still find cult followings, strong streaming numbers, or fan appreciation despite critical backlash.However, the list serves as a reminder that strong ideas still need careful execution, and big budgets or famous names cannot replace compelling storytelling.
Nollywood actress and producer Ini Edo recently released a new movie titled A Very Dirty Christmas. The film, which premiered in cinemas nationwide on December 16, 2025, immediately attracted widespread attention; not only for its story but for its provocative title.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) condemned the title, describing it as offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith. CAN argued that linking the sacred celebration of Christmas with the word “dirty” diminishes its spiritual significance and could mislead or offend viewers.
CAN’s Strong Criticism
In an official statement, CAN President Archbishop Daniel Okoh said:
“The Christian Association of Nigeria is deeply troubled by the title of the movie: ‘A Very Dirty Christmas’, which it considers offensive and disrespectful to the Christian faith. Christmas is a sacred season that marks the birth of Jesus Christ and represents purity, peace, love and redemption. Linking such a holy celebration with the word ‘dirty’ diminishes its spiritual meaning and reduces a solemn religious observance to something crude and sensational.”
CAN also called for a public apology from the film’s producers and urged the Nigerian film industry to handle religious themes with sensitivity. The body emphasized that creative freedom must be exercised responsibly in Nigeria’s multi-religious society.
Federal Government / NFVCB Response
The National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), the government agency responsible for approving and classifying movies has clarified its position.
Director-General Dr. Shaibu Husseini stated:
“The film was approved and classified after undergoing the established censorship and classification process, during which the Film Censorship Committee examined the work within its narrative and thematic context. The approval of the title was not intended to disparage or trivialise the Christian faith or the significance of Christmas. The title was considered part of fictional and creative expression.”
Dr. Husseini also addressed public concerns:
“We have heard the concerns raised by CAN, and in light of this, NFVCB has formally engaged the producers of the film and requested a modification of the title. Our aim is to respect religious sensitivities while supporting creative expression.”
Ini Edo Defends her Film
Speaking publicly, Ini Edo defended the film and its title, explaining that it is metaphorical and meant to reflect human struggles beneath festive appearances.
She stated:
“Art, at its highest form, is meant to provoke thought, spark conversation, and reflect the complexities of human experience. It is in this spirit that A Very Dirty Christmas was created.”
She added:
“At no time was there any intention to demean, ridicule, or dishonour Christianity, the Christmas season, or the values held dear by millions of Nigerians. All legal and regulatory requirements governing motion pictures in Nigeria were fully complied with, including securing the appropriate approval from the NFVCB.”
The controversy has sparked heated discussions on social media. Supporters defend the film as a work of art and metaphorical storytelling, while critics maintain that the title is offensive to Christians.
Industry watchers note that this is not the first time Nollywood films have faced religious criticism, and the ongoing debate highlights the need for balance between creative freedom and cultural/religious sensitivity.
While A Very Dirty Christmas continues to play in cinemas, the controversy remains unresolved. The NFVCB has not banned the film but has requested the producers consider a title modification to reduce potential offense. Ini Edo maintains that the film reflects artistic expression and human realities, not an attack on Christianity.

Barack Obama’s annual favorite music list has become a cultural moment of its own. Every year, the former U.S. president shares songs he enjoyed the most, cutting across genres, generations, and continents.
In 2025, the list once again proved how global modern music has become and Nigeria stood tall once again.
Asake, Burna Boy, and Olamidé all earned spots on Obama’s favorite music list this year, reinforcing Afrobeats’ growing influence on the world’s biggest cultural stages.
Afrobeats’ Strong Presence on a Global Playlist
Obama’s music lists are not charts or awards. They are personal playlists that reflect what he listens to and enjoys. That’s what makes them powerful.
So, when Nigerian artists appear, it signals something deeper than popularity; it shows cultural relevance.
This year’s list included:
Burna Boy with Tatata (featuring Travis Scott)
Olamidé, Asake, Seyi Vibez, Daecolm, and Young Jonn on 99
These selections placed Nigerian street pop and Afrofusion side-by-side with global pop, hip-hop, indie, and jazz records.
Burna Boy’s appearance on the list comes as no surprise. Over the years, he has built a reputation as one of Africa’s most consistent global exports.
Tatata, his collaboration with Travis Scott, blends Afrofusion rhythms with international rap energy. Its inclusion reflects how Burna Boy continues to operate comfortably at the intersection of African identity and global appeal.
Perhaps the most significant moment on the list is the inclusion of 99; a song deeply rooted in Nigerian street pop culture.
Led by Olamidé and Asake, alongside Seyi Vibez, Daecolm, and Young Jonn, 99 represents a raw, energetic Lagos sound. It is the kind of song born from the streets, clubs, and everyday experiences of Nigerian youth.
Seeing it land on a playlist curated by a former U.S. president speaks volumes.
Olamidé’s role as a culture driver and Asake’s rise as one of Afrobeats’ most exciting modern stars come together on this track.
Barack Obama’s favorite music lists have always served as a snapshot of the year’s cultural mood. In 2025, that snapshot clearly includes Nigeria.
For Asake, Burna Boy, and Olamidé, making the list is not just a personal win; it’s another moment of validation for Nigerian music as a global force.
Why This Decade of Technological Advancement Matter for Nigerian Small Businesses
For many small business owners in Nigeria, growth often feels slow and uncertain. Rising operating costs, intense competition, poor infrastructure, and limited access to funding make scaling difficult. For years, technology felt like something only large companies could afford.
That is changing real fast today.
As we close 2025 and moving to 2026, technology and artificial intelligence are becoming more accessible to Nigerian businesses of all sizes. Tools that once required large budgets are now available through mobile phones, cloud platforms, and simple software subscriptions. This shift means small businesses now have the opportunity to grow faster, operate smarter, and compete more effectively.
The businesses that succeed will not necessarily be the biggest. They will be the ones that understand how to use technology and AI as practical tools, not abstract ideas.
What Scaling Really Looks Like in Nigeria
Scaling is often misunderstood as simply increasing sales. In reality, scaling means growing in a way that does not break your operations. For Nigerian businesses, this means improving efficiency, reducing manual work, and creating systems that can handle more customers without increasing stress.
Technology and AI help small businesses do more with less. They allow business owners to automate repetitive tasks, understand customer behaviour, and make better decisions based on data instead of guesswork.
Using AI to Simplify Daily Business Operations
Many Nigerian entrepreneurs spend a large part of their day responding to messages, writing captions, tracking orders, and managing records manually. These tasks are important, but they slow growth when done without support.
AI tools help simplify these daily operations. Businesses can now use AI to respond to customer inquiries automatically, generate marketing content in minutes, and organize business information more efficiently. This does not replace human effort; it supports it. By reducing time spent on routine tasks, business owners can focus on strategy, sales, and expansion.
In 2026, automation will no longer be a luxury. It will be a basic requirement for any business that wants to scale sustainably.
Understanding Customers Better With Data and AI
One of the biggest advantages technology offers is clarity. Many small businesses struggle because they do not fully understand their customers. AI-powered tools help change this by analyzing sales patterns, customer behaviour, and engagement trends.
With these insights, businesses can see which products perform best, identify peak buying periods, and understand why customers return or stop buying. This leads to smarter pricing, better inventory planning, and more effective marketing.
When decisions are based on data rather than assumptions, growth becomes more predictable and less risky.
Building a Strong Digital Presence That Drives Growth
By 2026, customers expect businesses to be visible and accessible online. A strong digital presence is no longer optional. Whether through a website, an online store, or social media platforms, businesses must meet customers where they already spend their time.
AI plays a quiet but powerful role here. It helps businesses improve search visibility, recommend better content ideas, and optimize marketing campaigns. This means small businesses can reach more people without spending excessively on advertising.
A well-structured online presence allows a business to attract customers consistently, even outside normal working hours.
Improving Customer Experience With Smart Technology
Customer experience has become one of the strongest competitive advantages in modern business. Nigerian customers value fast responses, clear communication, and smooth service delivery.
AI-powered tools help businesses meet these expectations by supporting faster replies, automated order updates, and personalized follow-ups. When customers feel heard and valued, they are more likely to return and recommend the business to others.
As competition increases in 2026, businesses that invest in customer experience will stand out more than those that focus only on pricing.
Reducing Costs and Scaling Sustainably With Cloud Technology
Scaling does not always require heavy spending. One of the biggest mistakes small businesses make is investing in expensive systems too early. Cloud-based technology offers a more flexible alternative.
With cloud and AI software, businesses can pay only for what they use. They can upgrade tools as they grow and avoid the burden of maintaining expensive hardware. This approach reduces financial pressure while supporting long-term expansion.
For Nigerian businesses facing fluctuating costs and currency challenges, this flexibility is especially valuable.
Expanding Beyond Your Immediate Market
Technology has removed many of the traditional limits on business growth. Nigerian small businesses can now reach customers beyond their local environment, and even outside the country.
AI helps with market research, audience targeting, and content adaptation, making it easier to explore new markets without losing focus. At the same time, businesses that understand local culture and customer behavior can use technology to strengthen their local advantage.
Scaling in 2026 will be about balancing local relevance with wider reach.
You Do Not Need to Be a Tech Expert to Scale
A common fear among business owners is that AI is too complex. In reality, most modern tools are designed for everyday users. You do not need to know how to code or build software.
What matters is understanding your business problems and choosing tools that solve them. Learning gradually, testing solutions, and training staff in small steps makes tech adoption manageable and effective.
The goal is not to become a tech company, but to run a smarter business.
Technology and AI are reshaping how small businesses grow in Nigeria. In 2026, success will depend less on working harder and more on working intelligently.
Small businesses that adopt tech early, focus on efficiency, and prioritize customer experience will be better positioned to grow sustainably. The opportunity is not in using every tool available, but in using the right ones at the right time.
Scaling is no longer about size. It is about systems, strategy, and smart use of technology. Take the right step to grow your business today!
As Detty December 2025 reaches full momentum across Nigeria, Abuja is preparing for one of its biggest music moments of the year. British-Nigerian star Skepta has landed in the capital ahead of his first-ever live performance in Abuja, where he will headline the Capital Machine block party alongside Nigerian rap heavyweight Odumodublvck.
The event, scheduled for December 18, 2025, is already generating massive attention online, with fans describing it as one of the most important UK–Nigeria hip-hop crossovers of the year.
Skepta, born Joseph Junior Adenuga to Nigerian parents, is one of the most influential figures in UK grime. Known globally for songs like Shutdown and That’s Not Me, he has built a career that blends music, fashion, and cultural leadership.
In 2025, he was named GQ Man of the Year, further cementing his relevance beyond music. His appearance in Abuja during Detty December carries symbolic weight, representing both a return to his roots and a growing global interest in Nigerian hip-hop culture beyond Lagos.
Videos shared online, including clips posted by Odumodublvck, show Skepta arriving in Abuja in high spirits, fueling anticipation for the night’s performance.
Capital Machine Block Party: What to Expect
The Capital Machine block party, presented by Anti World Gangstas, kicks off at 7 PM and is expected to run late into the night. More than a regular concert, the event is positioned as a cultural statement, merging UK grime with Nigeria’s evolving rap sound.
Odumodublvck, an Abuja native best known for Declan Rice, has long championed the city’s rap scene. In past interviews and posts, he predicted that global artists like Skepta would eventually tap into Abuja’s sound and energy. This collaboration brings that vision to life.
This collaboration goes beyond Detty December hype. It highlights Abuja’s rising importance in Nigeria’s music and entertainment landscape and shows how Nigerian rap is gaining global attention on its own terms.
