The ambience was cosy. And the event is gay and grand. Indeed, Saturday, February 17th, 2024 was a day to remember. It was a day the ancient kingdom of Akokwa was honoured and beamed live to the world, through the instrumentality of one of its illustrious sons, Chief Celestine Ebubeogu ( Ide Akokwa), Chairman, Tiger Foods Industries Limited, makers of the finest brands of food spices.</p><p>Term it Akokwa's Day of Glory and you won't be wrong for that was indeed what it was at the Eko Hotels and Suites, the venue of the 21st Sun Newspaper Awards where Chief Ebubeogu was conferred with the Sun Newspaper Industrialist of the Year Award. The Award was in recognition of Chief Ebubeogu's contributions to industrialization and job creation in the country via Tiger Foods' massive backward integration policy and broadening of its marketing and production frontiers.</p><p>As Ide's citation was being read, heads bowed in awe, mouths murmured in appreciation and hands clapped in admiration: Right there at the Eko Hotel and Suites, amidst pomp and pageantry and in the full glee of live TV cameras beamed around the world, Akokwa was described as a land of patriotic industrialists and job creators who have done so much to provide employment to unemployed Nigerians. </p><p>Chief Ebubeogu who was unavoidably absent and was represented by Tiger Foods Managing Director, Don Ebubeogu, shared the Award category with two industrialists namely former Minister for Industry and Master Energy boss, Dr Uche Samson Ogah and Chief James Uzuh(Omeiheukwu), Chairman, J - Jumac International Company Ltd.</p><p>In his speech, the elated Chief Ebubeogu thanked consumers ofe Tiger Foods brands for their loyalty and patronage over the years; he also expressed immense gratitude to the Sun Newspapers for the Award, noteing that the honour would go a long way to spur him to do more for humanity and Nigeria.</p><p>In a show of strength, conviviality and brotherhood hundreds of eminent sons and daughters of Akokwa across Nigeria emptied into the Eko Hotel and Suites to celebrate and rejoice with one of their own.</p><p>Some of them include Principal Partner, Maple Partnership law firm, Barr Oke</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQaGBpMLmKekABAkl9a9slnuZhV3AhZZxgVe7Po1z2u45iOTMxyxryTTAxaChxwi39b2XkP6l6MpeeYqVBisd66t7fXLCBJn-ciOIGj3lqmRlxgs6SpgcS6cia_oCldmjkNMUrRWyeineYuuInA1U20e7jvgaIO3HKU_uRr5dPeKYwsNq5teZQCeVSv38/s1280/IMG-20240220-WA0004.jpg" style="display: block;

It is about "Timi", a gifted clergyman who turns into an "old lonely curmudgeon when his family is tragically taken from him. Until Elijah, a humble man with big dreams of becoming a priest, comes into his life. Through Elijah, Timi not only learns to live again, but also realizes purpose for all his gifts and wealth."<br /><br />The Oscar performance of Wale Ojo as "Timi" has proven that he is indeed more than an actor of actors, but also an auteur of genius in his excellent interpretation of one of the greatest portraits of unique and unforgettable characters in Nigerian drama.<br />No other actor in Nollywood would have been able to play a better challenging role of such an iconic character of "Timi" as Wale Ojo did exceptionally well.<br />He is among the best actors in the world in the same class with Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and Anthony Hopkins of Hollywood for his mastery of being absorbed in the personality of every character he has played the leading role in different movies. This is a rare accomplishment among actors in Nigeria, because only few of them have such command in characterization and intellectual depth.<br /><br />Overall, in concise and precise analysis, the "Breath of Life" is a breathtaking cinematic drama of intellectual and spiritual insights on the triumph of faith, love and the human spirit in the conquest of the existential realities of life in the world. The survival, triumph and victory of the human spirit in the vicissitudes of the trials of life.<br /><br />The director, producer, cinematographer, screenwriter, composer of the soundtracks and production designer have made a film that will become one of the timeless classics of filmmaking in Nigeria. "Breath of Life" is more than the typical Nollywood movie. It is a beautiful story in motion picture that will resonate with people in different societies in the world, because it is a universal journey of discovery of the true essence of human existence on Earth.<br />It would be more appreciated dubbed in other languages for the rest of the world to share in the beauty of this drama of the worth of every breath of life.<br /><br />"Breath of Life" is one of the best films of the year and the kind of Nigerian film that should have been in the Official Selection of the annual Cannes Film Festival in competition for the Palme d'Or.<br /><br />Principal cast:<br />Wale Ojo, Bimbo Manuel, Sam Dede, Tina Mba, Sambasa Nzeribe, Genoveva Umeh, Chimezie Imo, Demola Adedoyin, Melly Atari and others.<br /><br />Produced by<br />Eku Edewor and Aderinola Adeyokunnu.<br />Written and directed by BB Sasore, Ola Cardoso is the Director of Photography and Kelechi Odu is the Creative Director.<br /><br /><br />More details on<br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Breath-of-Life/0MAIUKK9AP09W0F2HQ99XWI0DD&source=gmail&ust=1704110084021000&usg=AOvVaw0rWCyNsnJEBbmy1SrZ1TIN" href="https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Breath-of-Life/0MAIUKK9AP09W0F2HQ99XWI0DD" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.primevideo.com/<wbr></wbr>detail/Breath-of-Life/<wbr></wbr>0MAIUKK9AP09W0F2HQ99XWI0DD</a><br /><br />A must on the watchlist of everyone who loves great movies.<br /><br />- By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima,<br />Publisher/Editor,<br />NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series,<br />The first book series on Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry since 2013, printed in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States of America and distributed by Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other booksellers in paperback, hardcopy and Amazon Kindle.<br />"<br /><br /></div><div dir="auto"><br /></div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

With African youth set to make up one third of global population later this century, the future of Africa’s youth, entrepreneurial, ambitious, resilient, needs to be given the highest priority.<br /><br />Elumelu offered the infrastructure and experience of his own Foundation’s 10 year $100m entrepreneurship programme to partners, to catalyse a further generation of African entrepreneurs; entrepreneurs who can address climate change and drive the broader wealth creation that Africa requires. Reaching and funding young entrepreneurs in every African country, the Elumelu approach of sector agnostic seed funding, mentoring, and networking has delivered robust impact.<br /><br />The annual COP UN Climate Change Conferences unites the world to assess progress in combatting climate change. Elumelu is one of Africa’s leading advocates for an equitable agenda for climate action and through the Tony Elumelu Foundation has empowered thousands of green entrepreneurs, shaping a more sustainable future for Africa.<br /><br />The Tony Elumelu Foundation, in partnership with the United Bank for Africa (UBA), hosted a high-level session, bringing together Africans, and key players in the Gulf, Europe, and Americas, where UBA operates, underscoring the urgent need for innovative approaches to climate adaptation and mitigation, while fostering sustainable development, and bringing attention to Africa’s unique position.<br /><br />Speakers included Dr. Okonjo Iweala, Director General, World Trade Organization; Ahunna Eziakonwa, Assistant Administrator and Regional Director for Africa, UNDP, Kevin Frey, CEO, UNICEF Generation Unlimited; Sergio Pimenta, VP Africa, IFC; Wendy Teleki, Head of the Women Entrepreneurs Financial Initiative, World Bank; Adam Wang-Levine, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Climate; Joseph Nganga, Vice President, Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet, Rockefeller Foundation; Hassan Al Hashemi, VP International Relations, Dubai Chambers; Serge Ekué, Chairman, West African Development Bank (BOAD); Muyiwa Akinyemi, Deputy Group Managing Director, United Bank for Africa; and Mattias Frumerie, Swedish Climate Ambassador and Head of Delegation, UNFCCC.<br /><br />“Addressing climate change is the paramount challenge of our era. The urgency is unmistakable.” Elumelu stated. “It is critical that Africa, as a continent, and African voices, play a key role in global climate conversations, as meaningful participants, and no longer as bystanders. Africa is least responsible and is disproportionately impacted by climate change. I am investing in a generation of green entrepreneurs, and we are extending the hand of partnership, so that others can benefit and use the infrastructure and platform we have created to reach entrepreneurs across Africa.”<br /><br />Elumelu represented the African private sector at the 2023 New Global Financing Pact in Paris at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron, and the Climate Finance Mobilisation Forum in London, at the invitation of King Charles III of the United Kingdom and U.S. President Biden. At the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78) in New York, the Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF) launched a first-of-its-kind Green Entrepreneurship Programme, the #BeGreenAfrica Initiative, in partnership with the IKEA Foundation, Dutch Government and UNICEF GenU, to support green entrepreneurship and youth development.<br /><br />Tony Elumelu Entrepreneur from Madagascar in the green economy, Marie-Christiana Kola, shared a compelling impact story. “As a beneficiary of the Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship programme, I was able to create a recycled and 100% biodegradable hand soap made with waste cooked oil - the number one water polluter of water in African urban cities. These soaps do not only protect the environment, but they are also solidarity soaps. I was also able to attend the COP27 conference in Egypt, where I won the Innovation Prize. Today, I have employed over 30 people because of the Tony Elumelu Foundation.”<br /><br />Speaking at the TEF #COP28 high-level event, Dr. Okonjo Iweala, DG, World Trade Organisation stated, “I am proud of what my brother, Tony Elumelu, has done in empowering and inspiring so many young entrepreneurs. We have no choice; the future is green. The future of growth is two things – it is green, and it must be inclusive. I am very interested in partnerships with organisations like TEF.”<br /><br />Ahunna Eziakonwa, Assistant Administrator and Regional Director for Africa, UNDP added, “The reason why UNDP associated itself with the Tony Elumelu Foundation years ago is because of the leadership and courage of the Foundation to trust and invest in young Africans. It was one of the first organisation to do so at that scale.”<br /><br />The Foundation partnered with the UNDP to empower thousands in the Sahel, with an ambitious project to impact the lives one million young Africans.<br /><br />Sergio Pimenta, VP, Africa at the IFC, also stated, “Tony, I salute you and your Foundation for what you have been doing to support young entrepreneurs in Africa. The IFC has deployed $2billion in funding for African SMEs in the last fiscal year and we are very excited to be able to do more, working with you.”<br /><br />Kevin Frey, CEO UNICEF Generation Unlimited added, “With TEF, we have moved in a concerted way into the entrepreneurial space. Generation Unlimited now have a flagship programme with the Tony Elumelu Foundation called #BeGreenAfrica, launched in Kenya, and now with the support of the IKEA Foundation and the Dutch Government, we have scaled to Nigeria, Morocco, South Africa, and Senegal. We will train and seed 500 green entrepreneurs this year in the pilot project across those countries. So Tony, thank you so much, you are right it is all about partnerships.”<br /><br />Wendy Teleki, Head of the Women Entrepreneurs Financial Initiative at the World Bank, announced, “Our women-focused initiative has been able to secure $3.6 billion to finance women entrepreneurs in 67 countries across the world, and is set to launch a new programme focused on financing African women entrepreneurs to drive the continent’s green energy transition, and we are keen to work with the Tony Elumelu Foundation.”<br /><br />Mattias Frumerie, Swedish Climate Ambassador and Head of UNFCCC Delegation stated, “My Government and I commend the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s incredible impact across Africa, and will facilitate connections between the Tony Elumelu Foundation, and the Swedish embassies across Africa to drive innovation, digitalisation, and green-energy transition, which promises to bring about new jobs and growth.”<br /><br />Adam Wang-Levine, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Climate, added” Before coming to the United States Treasury, I was working in venture capital, and I know first-hand that it is incredibly important what the Tony Elumelu Foundation is doing. I have seen two pillars of their work – financing and the mentorship – just as I have seen with Silicon Valley, which helps to drive innovation and jobs creation. We are excited to begin partnership conversations.”<br /><br />Muyiwa Akinyemi, Deputy GMD, United Bank for Africa, announced, “For us, UBA, we give market access into 20 geographies in Africa. Everything that we do is around Africa, and that is why we have partnered with the Afrexim Bank to launch the $6billion fund for SMEs with a focus on import substitution, working in four key areas including climate emission reduction.”<br /><br />Earlier in the day, Tony Elumelu joined Ajay Banga, President of World Bank Group; Brian Moynihan, Chair of the Board and CEO of Bank of America; Ms. Ruth Porat, President, Alphabet and Google; and Ms. Laurene Powell Jobs, Founder & President of Emerson Collective as a panelist in a session titled “Big, Audacious and Green: A Convergence of Visionaries”, moderated by Børge Brende, President of World Economic Forum.<br /><br />On Sunday December 3 Mr. Tony Elumelu, also participated in a fireside conversation with Ms. Teresa Ribera, Vice President of the Government of Spain and Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Change, moderated by Sec. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and with closing remarks from Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization.<br /><div dir="ltr" style="font-style: italic; margin-top: 15px;"><i>Distributed by APO Group on behalf of The Tony Elumelu Foundation.</i><br /> </div><strong>Contact Information:<br />Moyo Awotile</strong><br />Head, Marketing & Corporate Communications<br />Tony Elumelu Foundation<br />Email: <a href="mailto:moyo.awotile@tonyelumelufoundation.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">moyo.awotile@<wbr></wbr>tonyelumelufoundation.org</a><br />Phone: +234 809 975 1482<br /><br /><strong>About the Tony Elumelu Foundation:</strong><br />The Tony Elumelu Foundation is the leading philanthropy empowering a new generation of African entrepreneurs, driving poverty eradication, catalysing job creation in all 54 African countries, and ensuring inclusive economic empowerment.

Despite the impressive applications and implications, Anna Collard, SVP Content Strategy & Evangelist at KnowBe4 AFRICA (<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsFxgHpfLLQ3yqNa77FZw3/TNznrn9RLn-2&source=gmail&ust=1701948026340000&usg=AOvVaw1Iwi3iZjoD8V2U6v1NGW4Z" href="https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsFxgHpfLLQ3yqNa77FZw3/TNznrn9RLn-2" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.KnowBe4.com</a>), warns of the associated risks that need to be considered.<br /><br />“Generative AI models are trained on data from various sources,” she explains, highlighting that these sources are not all verified, lack sufficient context, and are not regulated. “AI is incredibly helpful in handling the mundane administrative tasks associated with spreadsheets and statistics. However, it becomes concerning when we rely on it to make decisions that have the potential to influence people’s lives.”<br /><br />AI is an algorithmic construct built on the bones of human creative endeavours and data that is often flawed and biased. “As Kate Crawford, a professor at the University of Southern California and Microsoft researcher, pointed out (<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsGQ1025jhVz96RPUwEJe7/WnLbStGiI1Ou&source=gmail&ust=1701948026340000&usg=AOvVaw3WO-_JNuAZajJVCHL6nF3u" href="https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsGQ1025jhVz96RPUwEJe7/WnLbStGiI1Ou" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apo-opa.co/<wbr></wbr>3GwCPYK</a>), AI is not truly artificial or intelligent. This poses risks that can have long-term consequences if users are unaware of them,” explains Collard.<br /><br />Here are six of the most concerning risks:<br /><br /><strong>01: AI hallucinations</strong>: Earlier this year, a New York attorney used a conversational chatbot for legal research. The AI deceitfully incorporated six fabricated precedents into his filing, falsely attributing them to prominent legal databases. This is a perfect example (<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsGsLiEW83buJMVEslD3MB/pw12GfUDNXlt&source=gmail&ust=1701948026340000&usg=AOvVaw3_WQFZJAYWoUmvHqCOfJsB" href="https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsGsLiEW83buJMVEslD3MB/pw12GfUDNXlt" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apo-opa.co/<wbr></wbr>3uJjW2e</a>) of an AI hallucination, where the output is either fake or nonsense. These incidents happen when prompts are outside of the AI’s training data and so the model hallucinates or contradicts itself in order to respond.<br /><br /><strong>02: Deepfakes</strong>: The implications of fake images extend to various areas. With the rise of fake identities, revenge porn, and fabricated employees, the range of potential misuse for AI-generated photographs is expanding. One particular technology called Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) (<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsHKgQQwWPhpTcZ4GaBn4F/h6wqCVJpA82d&source=gmail&ust=1701948026340000&usg=AOvVaw1phFGVwc5j35ve5E7JFuAE" href="https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsHKgQQwWPhpTcZ4GaBn4F/h6wqCVJpA82d" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apo-opa.co/481j1Zi</a>) is a type of deep neural network capable of producing new data and generating highly realistic images by using random input. This technology opens up the realm of deepfakes, where sophisticated generative techniques manipulate facial features and can be applied to images, audio, and video. This form of digital puppetry carries significant consequences in political persuasion, misinformation or polarization campaigns.<br /><br /><strong>03: Automated and more effective attacks:</strong> This taps directly into the potential of GAN mentioned before, as cybercriminals make use of deepfakes in more sophisticated attacks. They use it in impersonation attacks, where fake voice or even video versions of someone can be used to manipulate victims into paying or following other fraudulent instructions. Cybercriminals also benefit from jailbroken generative AI models to help them automate or simplify their attach methods, such as for example automating the creation of phishing emails.<br /><br /><strong>04: Media equation theory</strong>: This refers to the fact that human beings have a tendency to attribute human characteristics to machines and develop feelings of empathy towards them. This tendency becomes even stronger when the interactions with machines seem intelligent. Although this can positively impact user engagement and support in the service sector, it also carries a risk. People become more vulnerable to manipulation, persuasion, and social engineering because of this over-trust effect. They tend to believe and follow machines more than they should. Research has shown (<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsHn18dMulnkdsctePAWmJ/_DKLlyAOIGoQ&source=gmail&ust=1701948026340000&usg=AOvVaw1rA9RonuO8oNFDGm83tQXC" href="https://r.news.africa-wire.com/mk/cl/f/sh/1t6Af4OiGsHn18dMulnkdsctePAWmJ/_DKLlyAOIGoQ" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apo-opa.co/<wbr></wbr>3RvGVqg</a>) that people are likely to alter their responses to queries in order to comply with suggestions made by robots.<br /><br /><strong>05: The manipulation problem</strong>: AI, through the use of natural language processing, machine learning, and algorithmic analyses, can both respond to and simulate emotions. By gathering information from various sources, agenda driven AI chatbots for example can promptly react to sensory input in real time and utilise it to accomplish specific objectives, such as persuasion or manipulation. These capabilities create opportunities for the dissemination of predatory content, misinformation, disinformation, and scams.<br /><br /><strong>06: Ethical issues:</strong> The presence of bias in the data and the current absence of regulations regarding AI development, data usage, and AI application all raise ethical concerns. Global efforts are underway to tackle the challenge of ethics in AI and reduce the risks of AI poisoning, which entails manipulating data to introduce vulnerabilities or biases. “However, South Africa currently lacks momentum in addressing these issues. This must change, as managing and detecting the risk of polluted AI data before it causes long-term harm is essential.” Says Collard.<br /><br />“It is important to be mindful of the information we share with AI chatbots and virtual personal assistants. We should always question how our data is being used and by whom,” concludes Collard. “There is a risk of sharing sensitive personal and business information with data training models. While AI is a valuable tool, it is crucial to use it with critical thinking and mindfulness, and only rely on it in situations where it provides the most value and has been fact checked.”<br /><div dir="ltr" style="font-style: italic; margin-top: 15px;"><i>Distributed by APO Group on behalf of KnowBe4.</i></div></div><p align="left" dir="ltr"><b>SOURCE</b><br />KnowBe4</p><p align="left" dir="ltr"><br /></p><p align="left" dir="ltr"><br /></p></td></tr></tbody></table>EKENYERENGOZI Michael Chimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05034754267261591802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689244864518391978.post-66152150776097880942023-12-05T14:00:00.000-08:002023-12-05T14:24:08.305-08:00Breaking News: MAMI WATA Nominated for Film Independent Spirit Awards for the Best International Film <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicIL7xq7QEjSWS5fscTwxxxI_EX8uJ89bcRDmBX0UzwRS8E9ScDraxs4qQm6X3mHeWQn_rMFy310A44QTYhFPTKhOqHsngaStfFaEFz5-0cfNpBGPA6ONnWW8e5Yl3ySIIisKy8HLCn3u9GdJjblWpYiL7oXcMztLsWvxbjRRqBin0y7GkdvPblrSnpx4/s487/imgonline-com-ua-HDRJPG6dcwJELCbNv7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="487" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicIL7xq7QEjSWS5fscTwxxxI_EX8uJ89bcRDmBX0UzwRS8E9ScDraxs4qQm6X3mHeWQn_rMFy310A44QTYhFPTKhOqHsngaStfFaEFz5-0cfNpBGPA6ONnWW8e5Yl3ySIIisKy8HLCn3u9GdJjblWpYiL7oXcMztLsWvxbjRRqBin0y7GkdvPblrSnpx4/s320/imgonline-com-ua-HDRJPG6dcwJELCbNv7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Breaking News! </b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Nigeria's phenomenal filmmaker, C.

It has the potential to become one of the country’s exports, with projected annual consumer growth rate of 8.8% (CAGR). PwC indicates that in 2021, Nigeria’s film industry contributed 2.3% ($660 million (239 billion naira)) to GDP. They project that the industry will increase its export revenue earnings to over $1 billion. The motion picture and music combined contributed about $1.8 billion (730 billion naira) to the country’s GDP in 2020.</span></span></p><div dir="auto" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: large;">The country’s television and video market grew 7.49% to $806 million in 2020, up from $732 million in 2018. The industry is projected to earn about $900 million in 2023. The market is driven by subscription revenue, which accounted for 72.26% of total TV/video sector revenue in 2018. TV advertising accounts for 21.31% of total revenue, while physical home videos account for 5.33%. Subscription-based movie streaming are very popular in Nigeria, attracting players like Netflix, Iroko TV, and Startimes. Although Netflix subscription has long been available in Nigeria, they made their official debut in Nigeria in February 2020, joining several major distributors of filmed content in Nigeria. In August 2022, Amazon Prime Video announced the launch of the localized version of its streaming service in Nigeria. According to an IMF report, the industry is projected to generate an estimated revenue of $10.8 billion by 2023 and account for 1.4% of GDP. The report indicates that in 2020, Nigeria overtook South Africa in pay TV subscription as the country currently has over 6.9 million pay TV households as of 2021. It is projected to grow to upwards of 7.4 million by 2023. A new study by Research and Markets, shows that Nigeria will contribute about 10 million, or 21.2%, of Africa’s pay television subscribers by 2025.<br /><br />The music sector of Nigeria’s entertainment industry also recorded significant growth over the years. Stakeholders include artists, musicians, producers, promoters, managers, distributors, and marketers. As of 2021, the music industry employed about a million people and generated over $8 billion for the economy. In the past six years, the growing numbers of new production studios and artists enabled a more vibrant and self-sustaining industry, producing globally recognized music. In this environment, Nigerian musicians have developed a vast spectrum of music genres. The industry has won prestigious awards with artists like Wizkid and Burnaboy claiming Grammy awards, attracting more and more investments..</div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><div class="elided-text" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/nigeria-media-and-entertainment</div><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">Which creative industries drive the creative economy of every country?</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRUMgns0QCgablJRfsn1njAIRgy38xB6OcccMTCq7v0YpFI0NLlwa9j1NcOYmy7s1aoVAanf5er-I7Czlti18Up9U6VffuDypeBTR3Iym5e8tve96swj3uxe4DCMjQ0B3frTqq0hXyoXC80P__lfGgEWlQKcXrk4MqZjNZajqK3UnEQ1rXVBWEVMTt-mc/s450/cHJpdmF0ZS9sci9pbWFnZXMvd2Vic2l0ZS8yMDIyLTA1L3B4MTE2MzY4NS1pbWFnZS1rd3Z5NGE0OC5qcGc.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="253" data-original-width="450" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRUMgns0QCgablJRfsn1njAIRgy38xB6OcccMTCq7v0YpFI0NLlwa9j1NcOYmy7s1aoVAanf5er-I7Czlti18Up9U6VffuDypeBTR3Iym5e8tve96swj3uxe4DCMjQ0B3frTqq0hXyoXC80P__lfGgEWlQKcXrk4MqZjNZajqK3UnEQ1rXVBWEVMTt-mc/s320/cHJpdmF0ZS9sci9pbWFnZXMvd2Vic2l0ZS8yMDIyLTA1L3B4MTE2MzY4NS1pbWFnZS1rd3Z5NGE0OC5qcGc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrvpLBzJoIkZvP6ixkmfeMIe4EmHZV0fLvMs0ho49ZocSfuRYnTXLKqO8kyNHphy2e1yuqt9LvxW0eXIxt3H9ntyX4FoNpKRfM6MhNMy-jVR1V1PEkkrIIjYnGFMi2VLh7c7XxvP3rwtbsgo5Mz4gFH00oQzxH4sIzz16TY6wUvbUYHJWT_zp_Fd7c3G0/s450/cHJpdmF0ZS9sci9pbWFnZXMvd2Vic2l0ZS8yMDIzLTEwL3JtNTkwLXJlbWl4LTAyMmFfMS5qcGc.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="450" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrvpLBzJoIkZvP6ixkmfeMIe4EmHZV0fLvMs0ho49ZocSfuRYnTXLKqO8kyNHphy2e1yuqt9LvxW0eXIxt3H9ntyX4FoNpKRfM6MhNMy-jVR1V1PEkkrIIjYnGFMi2VLh7c7XxvP3rwtbsgo5Mz4gFH00oQzxH4sIzz16TY6wUvbUYHJWT_zp_Fd7c3G0/s320/cHJpdmF0ZS9sci9pbWFnZXMvd2Vic2l0ZS8yMDIzLTEwL3JtNTkwLXJlbWl4LTAyMmFfMS5qcGc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">The industries are the following:</div><div dir="auto"> Advertising, architecture, arts and crafts, design, fashion, film, video, photography, music, performing arts, publishing, research and development, software, computer games, electronic publishing and TV/radio.<br /></div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">As Dr. Reuben Abati said on The Morming Show of Arise TV on Thursday, November 23, 2023;</div><div dir="auto">We cannot talk about growing the creative industry without a Cultural Policy.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Do we have a Cultural Policy?</div><div dir="auto">Do we even have a Film Policy for Ñollywood and the Nigerian film industry?</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Ñollywood is actually a dysfunctional film industry without a film market.</div><div dir="auto">Without an insurance policy.</div><div dir="auto">Without a single film commission.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Let me just go straight to my critical basics of the economics of the creative industry in Nigeria with an important query.
