To start with, there are a wide variety of musicians with various brands of music that ensure there is never any dull moment either at home or at any social events, and in fact everyone chooses whichever brand he prefers at every point in time. Quite unfortunately, most of the different local music that ruled the 70s and 80s are now out of circulation with the demise of their originators and sadly with no one gifted enough to keep the flag flying.
This fact duly considered, there ought to be a concrete way of showing deep appreciation to those who bring laughter to the human faces thereby bringing joy to a world ravaged by various shades of tragedies. Before the advent of home movies, TV stations were replete with different entertaining programmes that people kept date with every week quite religiously.
Later came the home videos and then a sudden twist from TV shows to that of buying different home videos cassette which came out in droves. Before long, Nollywood, the name for the general body of actors, actresses and movie producers entered Nigeria’s lexicon and quickly became one of the greatest employer of labour as more and more people were attracted into the sector.
It is a sad fact that while most people enjoy watching the different movies, they are never ready to support the movie producers to survive. Rather than insist on original copies of movies, they readily accept and promote pirated copies of any work and by so doing contribute in no small way in killing investors into the movie industry. For the same reason, most movie producers are only popular in the media but have nothing much to show for their fame in terms of material possessions.
The federal government must urgently set up an endowment fund for those in the entertainment industry such that can take adequate care of them in their old age or whenever they face health challenges. The last administration made such promise but it never saw the light of the day. It is quite unfair to abandon to their fate those who contribute so much to keeping the society happy and lively.
