Nigerian creatives deserve structures that respect the value we bring to the world. Not everything is cruise. Not everything is clickbait. Visibility in Nigeria has become cheap because vapid and mediocre thinking is the order of the day. Serious conversations get twisted for headlines instead of being understood.

Nigeria has enormous potential in arts, culture and tourism. Our originality is our power. But if we treat creativity as disposable, we risk losing the very thing that makes us who we are.

Conversations about residuals and better structures are not just for today. They are about protecting the future of Nigerian creatives.

What about the artists juggling multiple jobs just to stay afloat? What about the generations coming after us?

I am fortunate. My career has been kind to me and my work has put good food on my table. But what about the creatives who go on set purely for passion?

This is not about blaming producers or executives. Everyone in the system is trying to survive and feed their families. The real issue is the structure.

Creative work is brain work, heart work and hand work. It takes time, sacrifice and passion. Yet too often creatives work like elephants and eat like ants.

But there is a truth we don’t talk about enough. Too many artists who entertained the world grow old struggling, forgotten, or begging for support. It’s not meant to be so.

Nigeria is called the Giant of Africa for a reason. Our music, films, dance and storytelling have entertained Africa and the world for decades. Nigerian creatives shape culture.

Not everything is spiritual .
Some people need medical and psychological help. Let’s start having honest conversations about mental health.

Trauma , Drug use or underlying conditions like Schizophrenia can trigger psychosis .. In a highly Religious Society like Nigeria. These hallucinations usually take Spiritual or prophetic forms . This is why MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS is critical in Nigeria

SPIRITUAL PSYCHOSIS IS REAL. when someone begins hearing voices, claiming divine missions, or saying they can see the spiritual realm, we immediately assume it is spiritual. But sometimes it is a mental health crisis.

AMVCA has lost the plot . It’s time to bring the focus back to the work , not just the wow . This is one of the few times filmmakers unwind , celebrate and reconnect.. Filmaking in general isn’t a joke.

It’s no longer about the craft. It’s about CLOUT. Social media numbers are being prioritized over performances. The Red carpet feels louder than the awards. The heart of the industry , the storytellers , the technicians, the performers are being drowned by corsets and algorithms.
