Demolitions in Makoko, a waterfront community in Lagos, have displaced thousands of residents, with families saying they were given little warning and no clear relocation plan. ⁣ ⁣ The centenary-old community has an estimated population of 80,000 to 200,000, but large parts of the settlement have been destroyed. Anger over the demolitions recently spilled onto the streets in Lagos city, with witnesses reporting the use of tear gas. Residents allege that three people, including a woman and two infants, died, though police say this has not been verified. ⁣ ⁣ The Lagos State Government says the demolitions were for safety reasons, citing buildings near high-tension power lines, and has promised support for those affected. The BBC’s Chiamaka Dike visited Makoko to speak to displaced residents and document the aftermath.⁣ ⁣ Filmed and edited by @daddygift⁣ Produced by @ticktacfoe 03 Feb 2026

How does @mr_boris_becker come up with his viral videos? The Congolese-Belgian influencer speaks to Focus on Africa’s @waihigamwaura about his spontaneous approach to content creation, his love of fashion and why he says going viral isn’t his goal.

Women make up less than 5% of Nigeria’s National Assembly, while only 54 women hold seats across the country’s 990 State Houses of Assembly. So why are women still so underrepresented in Nigerian politics, and what makes it harder for them to get on the ballot? Focus on Africa’s Nkechi Ogbonna spoke to Ufuoma Nnamdi-Udeh, Executive Director of Enough is Enough, and Abuja-based politician Zainab Buba Galadima about the social, cultural and financial barriers women face when seeking elected office.

Recently spent some time in Johannesburg and Pretoria learning (and doing a fair bit of yapping) with my @pau_nigeria x @mtnng Media Innovation Programme cohort 🇳🇬🇿🇦 I spoke at the summit at @university_of_johannesburg and on SABC’s Channel Africa about how Nigerians and South Africans mostly get to know each other through the news, and what that asks of us as journalists. There’s too much to fit into one post, but this programme has been one of the most enlightening things I’ve done in a while, and I’m so glad to be part of it. P.S. LinkedIn saw these first 🫶🏽 #journalism 22 Sep 2026

Why is Uganda unveiling a statue of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s brother?⁣ ⁣ Yonatan Netanyahu led the Israeli military operation at Entebbe in 1976 and was killed during the raid. Fifty years later, Uganda is honouring him with a statue. Focus on Africa’s Chiamaka Dike tells us what the decision says about the country’s relationship with Israel today. 10 Aug 2026

This is my second text piece for @bbcafrica, and one I’m especially proud of. It started with me wondering how a presidential council that the government says never legally existed could end up with an office, civil servants, a website, and ₦1.3bn in the national budget. Pulling the story together was a little frantic, but I’m really glad to see it resonating. Thank you to everyone who picked up the phone at short notice and trusted me enough to speak on the record.

A viral stress-relief toy is raising uncomfortable questions about race in China.⁣ ⁣ Videos show the black version of the "Natasha doll" being punched, slapped and run over, prompting criticism and debate online.⁣ ⁣ On Focus on Africa, we explore what the controversy reveals about perceptions of black people in China - and why race is missing from many of the official responses.⁣ ⁣ Presenter: @chiamaka.dk Edited by: @yemi_adegbehingbe 23 Jun 2026

Ethiopia holds a general election this June, its first since a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. But the country has not conducted a national census since 2007. With over 4 million people displaced and millions of first-time voters trying to register, we look at what an almost twenty-year data gap means for this election.⁣ ⁣ Presented and edited by: @chiamaka.dk⁣ Produced by: Kalkidan Yilbetan 26 May 2026
