2025-09-28

Have to explore whether it's better to do HausaRadio.net headlines on its own channel or on HausaFilmsTV... Let's take a look at the top international broadcasters channels:

On a separate note: I want to model @cambridgedictionary • 66.6K subscribers • 1.6K videos. Perhaps experiment first or ask if I can dub over with my Hausa additions...

Communiqué and TM Global have partnered with the National Council of Arts and Culture (NCAC) to launch the inaugural Nigerian Creator Economy Report 2025 at GITEX Africa. The publication provides the first data-driven analysis of one of the country’s fastest-growing sectors.

Key findings reveal explosive growth: Nigerian artists received over ₦58 billion ($39M) from Spotify in 2024, a 146% increase from 2023, while Nollywood box office revenue jumped 60% to ₦11.5 billion ($7.7M). Nigerian content on YouTube surpassed 20 billion annual views, with over 1,500 channels crossing the 100,000-subscriber milestone and generating over $10 million in AdSense revenue in 2024. (simple average per channel would be over $6,666 for the year. https://share.google/aimode/0fNQt2WaTpmuO7MZz)

Yet, the report warns of a persistent monetisation gap, with 56.45% of Nigerian creators earning less than $100 a month, and just 3.23% making above $5,000—pointing to extreme income concentration at the top.

2025-09-15 Monetizing HausaFilmsTV YouTube Channel

To monetize your channel, HausaFilmsTV (https://www.youtube.com/hausafilmstv), you'll need to join the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). This program allows creators to earn money from their content through various features.

Here are the general eligibility requirements for the YouTube Partner Program:

"Have more than 4,000 valid public watch hours in the past 12 months OR 10 million valid public Shorts views in the past 90 days."

Where do I stand so far?

That's a great question! Let's see where HausaFilmsTV stands on the monetization requirements.

Based on your channel's performance:

Watch Hours: In the last 365 days, your channel has accumulated 4,553.6 hours of public watch time. This is fantastic, as it surpasses the 4,000 watch hour requirement!
Shorts Views: In the last 90 days, your Shorts have garnered 19,593 engaged views. While this is a good number, it is below the 10 million Shorts views required for monetization through that path.
Subscribers: Your channel has a total of 12,812 subscribers, which is well above the 1,000 subscriber requirement.

You've already met the watch hour and subscriber criteria for the YouTube Partner Program! Keep up the great work!

Came across this Film Translator who made some poignant comments but perhaps a bit on the AI Doomerism side?

2025-09-23 (Academic Paper) HausaMovieReview - a meticulously annotated dataset by three independent annotators

The development of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools for low-resource languages is critically hindered by the scarcity of annotated datasets. This paper addresses this fundamental challenge by introducing HausaMovieReview, a novel benchmark dataset comprising 5,000 YouTube comments in Hausa and code-switched English. The dataset was meticulously annotated by three independent annotators... https://arxiv.org/pdf/2509.16256
