In the FT:
In late July, Okey Bakassi, one of Nigeria’s best-loved comedians, took to the airwaves with a new television satire called The Other News. Fans of The Daily Show in the US, presented by Jon Stewart between 1999 and 2015, will recognise the format. A live studio audience whoops and hollers as Mr Bakassi, cast as a sharp-suited newscaster, delivers acerbic commentary on the week’s headlines.
