Temilola Balogun

Biography

Temi Balogun is widely celebrated for her ability to write dialogue that feels incredibly "human"—it’s punchy, relatable, and often hilarious. She first changed the digital game with the creation of Skinny Girl in Transit (SGIT), which effectively pioneered the high-production-value YouTube series format in Nigeria. In 2026, she is being recognized for Baba Oh, a project that further proves her range as a writer who can handle both comedy and complex family dynamics. To be honest, she’s part of that small group of creators who truly understand how to capture the "Lagos experience" without it feeling forced or like a textbook. Whether she’s co-hosting a live interview with international stars like Cardi B or sitting in a writers' room, her influence on the current "New Nollywood" aesthetic is undeniable.
