Goodnews Naija Podcast has been identified as one of Nigeria’s podcast platforms to watch, gaining attention for its consistent focus on positive storytelling and uplifting narratives from across the country.
Launched on 1 October 2024, the podcast spotlights inspiring stories, progress-driven conversations, and everyday Nigerian wins often overlooked in mainstream media. With a weekly release schedule and a values-led editorial approach, Goodnews Naija has built a growing audience within and outside Nigeria.
“At a time when negative headlines dominate global perceptions, we believe positive Nigerian stories deserve global visibility,” said Host, Damilola Kehinde.
“Goodnews Naija exists to balance the narrative by highlighting hope, resilience, and progress.”.
According to Producer, Memunat Olayemi Oladepo, the platform was intentionally created to reshape how Nigerian stories are told. “Goodnews Naija was built as a counter-narrative,” she said. “We are deliberate about amplifying stories that reflect the resilience, innovation, and optimism thriving across the country.”
As global interest in African creators grows, Goodnews Naija Podcast is positioning itself as a platform contributing to a more balanced and human narrative about Nigeria.
