OMI TITUN
Akinola, crowned with the Crown of Water, must hold two villages as one kingdom — through market wars, raiders at the ford and the coming of the River Queen. The flagship AI movie serial of VERTANGE 2.
Yoruba Proverbs
Baba Abati, the wise elder under the iroko tree, opens one Yoruba proverb at a time — stories of patience, true friendship and roots that hold. The breakout hit of @vertangetv.
LEARN YORUBA WITH EASE
Yoruba lessons for the diaspora and heritage learners — Teacher Tunde at the green board, English-first, from zero, pride not shame. EP1: Greetings & Respect is out now; Family Words follows.

Your host
MEET VJ ERIN.
Bright, quick and impossible to miss, VJ ERIN brings the biggest Afrobeats stories, chart moments and premieres to the screen. Her name means “elephant” in Yoruba: big presence, strong memory.
Look out for her signature number-one salute as she leads every show with warmth and maximum energy.

MEET KOKO.
Funny, high-energy and impossible to miss — KOKO brings football stories, Premiership round-ups and Champions League drama to the screen with Naija slang and maximum banter.
The Flamingos are world champions. Nigeria’s U17 women beat Japan 2-1 in Rabat to win the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup — the first African nation ever to lift it. KOKO breaks it all down in KOKO’S ARENA, from the road to the final to the night the girls made history.

Elder storyteller
MEET BABA ABATI.
Calm, warm and impossible to rush, Baba Abati is the grandfather of the VERTANGE family — the elder the young gather around. Under the great iroko tree, he opens one Yoruba proverb at a time: a story is told, the meaning is opened, and the lesson goes home with everyone listening.
YORUBA PROVERBS is the culture-first hit of VERTANGE 2 — Ep1 “The Tree That Will Not Fall”, Ep2 “The Farmer Who Would Not Wait”, Ep3 “The Friends Who Vanished”. Count your friends in the rain, not at the feast.
LookWhite beard, fila & staff — a different agbada every episode, always immaculate

Notes from Aaliyah
MEET AALIYAH.
She never shows her face — and the world leans in. Aaliyah is the Flower Girl of VERTANGE: long dark hair, a flowing lavender gown, one red rose, and a heart that writes. Every day she leaves a note — a love note, an apology, a prayer, a word of hope — in her rose garden and on her shore, for someone whose heart needs it.
NOTES FROM AALIYAH is the network's pathway to the world: Ep1 “Come Back to Me” and Ep2 “The Apology” are live, and a new note arrives every day on the flagship. Take the note. Send it to someone.
LookLavender gown, floral embroidery, one red rose — her face is never shown
SignatureA new note, every day
EnergyGentle, bright, unforgettable
USA chart host
MEET XHANGI.
Smooth, sharp and at home on both sides of the Atlantic, XHANGI is the bridge host of the VERTANGE family — the face America and Britain both claim as their own. Every Friday he fronts the USA edition of the Top 10, the chart alive on the big screens behind him.
His episodes set the presenter benchmark for the whole network. When Drake vanished from the US chart and Sienna slipped in the UK, XHANGI called every move — one host, one chart, zero misses.
