In a bold move set to reshape the landscape of digital Nollywood, two titans in their respective fields, Bayo Adedeji, celebrated business maverick and Group CEO of Wakanow, and Samuel Olatunji, a filmmaker and entertainment powerhouse are joining forces to launch BigLion Pictures, an electrifying new YouTube channel set to debut on September 25.

With name derived from their nicknames, Big from Bigsam, Lion from Bayo Lion, BigLion Pictures is a channel designed to raise the bar in the industry according to Mr. Adedeji.

According to Bayo Lion, ‘BigLion Pictures isn’t just another content platform, it is a fusion of vision, power, storytelling, and execution.

Designed to deliver premium, must-watch Nollywood content every single Thursday, the channel will showcase unforgettable stories, iconic performances, and world-class production quality that is poised to raise the bar in Nigerian entertainment’.

On one side stands Bayo Adedeji, the astute mind behind some of Nigeria’s most exciting business ventures.

As the Group CEO of Wakanow, and founder of top lifestyle destinations like Wave Beach, Athena Beach, and the highly anticipated Kyma Beach and strategic investments in multiple other sectors invluding real estate, Bayo brings an unmatched blend of creativity, commercialization and business strategy to the BigLion table.

On the other side is Samuel Olatunji, popularly known as Bigsam, a man whose name is synonymous with storytelling, public relations, talent management, and top-tier Nollywood productions.

As CEO of The Hype Agency and Heavyweight Studios, Bigsam has built stories that resonate with millions and elevate the standard of modern Nigerian cinema.

“We’re not coming to compete—we’re coming to set the standard,” said Bayo Adedeji. “BigLion Pictures is where excellence meets consistency. It’s about giving Nollywood fans stories they deserve—bold, beautiful, and binge-worthy.”

“Our stories will make you laugh, cry, reflect, and remember,” added Bigsam. “This is not just content. This is culture. This is soul. This is Nigeria; raw and refined, loud and beautiful.”

According to Bigsam, our niche will be “New Nollywood drops every Thursday, no breaks, no dull moments. High-definition, cinematic-quality storytelling shot and produced for a global audience. A rotating ensemble of A-list actors, breakout stars, and hidden gems. Powerful plots rooted in Nigerian life, family, love, betrayal, ambition, humour, and survival.”

In addition to its primary offering of original Nollywood content, BigLion Pictures is also expanding into the dynamic world of visual storytelling for brands and businesses.

The company will be delving into high-end marketing productions, corporate advertising, branded content creation, and line production services.

With a deep understanding of narrative, visual craft, and commercial appeal, BigLion is positioning itself as the go-to creative engine for brands seeking to connect with their audiences through powerful, emotionally resonant content.

Whether it’s a television commercial, a digital campaign, or a cinematic brand story, BigLion Pictures promises to infuse every frame with authenticity, elegance, and excellence.

With sights set on becoming one of the top 10 Nollywood YouTube channels in under 12 months, the BigLion brand has hit the ground running.
