From Nigeria to the World: The Global Impact of Bino & Fino

From Nigerian TV to ten languages and global screens, Bino & Fino demonstrates the power of African storytelling for children everywhere.

In 2012, Bino & Fino first aired on Nigerian television. Today, it is available in ten languages, has been screened on airlines across continents, and has been featured in festivals from London to Fukuoka. This is not just entertainment; it is cultural preservation and global education.

Global Highlights

• Available in 10 languages (5 African and 5 international).

• Episodes like “Dance Dance Dance” and “Afrobeat” have amassed millions of views.

• The show has been featured on airlines such as Emirates and South African Airways, aired on Brazilian public TV, and screened at major cultural festivals.

For African children living abroad, Bino & Fino reinforces pride in their roots. For children outside of Africa, it opens windows into cultures they may never have otherwise encountered. It bridges gaps between continents and communities.

Cultural representation in media not only impacts how children see themselves, but also how they perceive others. Cultivation theory suggests that repeated exposure to inclusive, authentic stories can shift perceptions on a societal scale.

Bino & Fino’s journey proves that when authentic African stories are told, they resonate with the world.
