Burna Boy, Bose Ugulu and Made Kuit unite at the Nigerian Creele Studios to witness the new 3d Animated Short 'SOPO'

Creele Animation Studios, the Nigerian startup founded by Nissi Ogulu, held a star-studded private premiere of its second 3D animated short film, SOPO, in Lagos two weeks ago. Attendees included family, well-wishers, and industry figureheads from across Nigerian society — among them Burna Boy and his mother, renowned talent manager Bose Ogulu, Mo Abudu, Wale Ojo, and Toke Benson.

The premiere marked a significant moment for the growing African animation scene. SOPO,which means “connect” in Yoruba, follows the emotional journey of Dotun, a father burdened by academic expectations, and his musically gifted son, Oyejo. Against a backdrop of intergenerational tension and the soulful rhythms of Afrobeat, the two slowly find their way back to each other.
