  "account": "Starbase Technologies has recently launched Yolly, a social entertainment platform aimed at digital creators and innovators in Nigeria. At the PodFest Naija 2026, held on September 25 at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos, Yolly's Head of Business Emeka Okenwa spoke about the platform's unique features. Yolly rewards users for watching, streaming, and creating content, and also allows creators to earn from their very first stream, without needing a large following. Okenwa explained that Yolly aims to address the issue of creators being shortchanged in Nigeria, where earnings are often below those of their peers outside the country. The platform also supports creators in telling their stories and developing the industry, as demonstrated by their sponsorship of the 2nd and 3rd place winners of The Next Big Podcaster competition, Kelvin Raphael and Samson Tara Igarama, each receiving N500,000. Raphael and Tara expressed their gratitude for Yolly's support, stating that the prize has motivated them to continue creating and encouraged them to see the value in their work. Yolly, which launched on August 1, 2026, offers a diverse range of content, including music, entertainment, sports, comedy, lifestyle, education, tech, fitness, and more.",
