It is [[no longer]] news that the [[coronavirus]] [[pandemic]] has [[changed]] our lives and the world in general. The virus has already killed more than a million people and rendered tens of thousands others jobless. The tragic stories about the pandemic are numerous. There was a palpable fear for Africa, the most challenged continent on earth. Some analysts projected that there would be corpses littering African streets. However, the embattled continent, so far, fares much better than the rest, including Europe and North America. Likewise, some African filmmakers have not closed shop because of COVID-19. They, amazingly, do even better than ever. The makers of a Kannywood YouTube series, titled ''Izzar So'', are some of these lucky lots.

Kannywood, the largely Hausa film industry, barely survives amidst a myriad of problems from within and outside. The biggest of them all is, perhaps, the collapse of the CD/DVD market in Kano and other northern Nigerian states. Recently, they started trying online video streaming platforms. Again, the market is not very promising due to some other problems. With the coronavirus-engineered closure of cinemas, which was their last lifeline, the filmmakers were left in limbo, jobless and hopeless. Nevertheless, a few of them, like the veteran actor, Lawan Ahmad and his friend, Nura Mustapha Waye, launched a series for YouTube viewers. Their budget is, apparently, small as their casts are mostly debutants and debutantes.
