The year ended with a big win for Ayo Makun, whose movie, Christmas in Miami made N134.54 million to become the highest-grossing Nollywood movie in 2021. Also, successful entertainers have started giving tips to upcoming artists on how to use the social media to promote their brands in the year.

New Year, new house for Davido
Davido has also moved into a new house in 2022. David Adeleke made heads roll in 2021 with his appeal for funds, which he later donated to charity. While processes for the disbursement of the funds were already in motion, he was said to have moved to a highbrow area in Ikoyi, Lagos State. The hip-pop artist tweeted, “I opened my new house today, 2022,” signalling a new beginning of ‘all blessings’ in the year.
Although the cost of the building was not revealed, it costs a fortune to own a building in one of Lagos’ most desired exquisite locations.
