The Nigerian Entertainment Industry Final Missing Limb
The Nigerian Entertainment Industry Final Missing Limb
“If a nation loses its storytellers, it loses its childhood” – Peter Handke
The Nigeria Entertainment industry is yet to consolidate on her final missing limb. America’s book world, the source of inspiration for many Hollywood’s screen masterpiece, is a billion dollars industry providing jobs and opportunities for many across board.
Just like the revolution that exploded the Nigerian music and film industries onto the global scene, we believe a convergence of fiction writers, editors, readers, critics, publishers, and booksellers into a strong unit will birth a new beginning for a sleeping industry that could provide jobs for Nigerians in the book world.

It’s time our novelists plug in the last limb into the entertaining industry with our very own blockbuster thrillers, comedy, romance, horror, adventure, drama stories…etc
