Ghana’s very own Kojo Junior brought a touch of Ghanaian energy and creativity to the recently concluded second edition of the MAGGIVerse in Lagos, Nigeria.
The two-day conference, organized by MAGGI, aimed to empower and connect food content creators from across West and Central Africa, while spotlighting innovation within the region’s growing culinary content scene.
As a panelist, Kojo Junior represented Ghana with his signature charisma, joining other African creators for a discussion titled “The Palette of Digital Content.”
The panel explored the rise of food content in Africa, challenges around monetization, creative growth, and the evolving art of culinary storytelling.
The award-winning influencer shared his creative journey and practical insights, emphasizing the value of evolution and connection in content creation.
“There’s been an improvement in my content, I just started adding subtitles, so that’s good for me,” he said.
He explained that the new approach allows fans outside Ghana to better engage with his videos and enjoy his blend of humor, culture, and food.
Kojo Junior also served as one of the judges on “The MAGGI Faceoff,” a live cooking competition that highlighted emerging culinary talent.
The winner of the contest received ₦500,000 and a scholarship to a prestigious culinary school, underscoring MAGGI’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of food innovators.
