Osita Oparaugo, lawyer, filmmaker, and founder of Ogelle, speaking on the series, said that e-Taxi or car-hailing is a part of our everyday life that has a story to tell, Vanguard reports.

Oparaugo said, “We have the right team, men and women committed to creating indigenous and diverse content that speaks to culture and we all agree that this is the story that must be told well,” he said.

Speaking on Ogelle, Oparaugo said it is an online video-sharing resource and entertainment platform for African content only; a user-generated content (UGC) and subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) platform with pan-African coverage in terms of diversity of content themes, content creation and representation in languages.

“Ogelle is a platform that enables every African in African and or in the Diaspora to create, post, and share Africa-focused video content and monetize the same by views no matter their country of origin, cultural heritage or language,” the Ogelle founder said.
