Comedian I Go Dye reacts to FG’s plan to stop production of movies and music video abroad

Nigerian ace comedian, I Go Dye, has
reacted to Federal Government’s
plan to ban the production of movies
and music videos abroad.
I Go Dye who proposed ways the
Nigerian Government can achieve
their plan so no one cries of foul
play, also asked relevant questions in
his post. Here’s what he wrote;

“Undoubtedly,entertainment:
Music,Comedy,Sport, and Film
productions are the highest-
ranking human resource export
from Nigeria.Government should
protect their intellectual property
and invest into its capacity
building.

"I have observed with keen interest
the recent reports credited to the
honourable minister of
information and culture,proposing
to ban the production of our
indigenous films abroad.instead of
such pronouncements,I expect a
mutual partnership with
government and all stake holders
in the entertainments
industry.what level of support has
government provided to growth of
entertainment in terms of
protecting their works?p
iracy is still on the high,most of
the actors,actresses and producers
do not earn what’s is obtainable
in other parts of the world in
terms of technical,social support
and general contribution to their
well being.I recommend that
instead of putting laws to check
the issue of films produced outside
Nigeria.
Government should invest in the
sector to develop it,introduce
partnership that will bring about
government earning funds from
the services provided through
technical equipment, logistic sites,
and establishment of a standard
Nollywood village.more so soft
loans should be provided to aid
film production ,while the
ministry of information and
culture should engage the film
writer and producers to build
contents that can significantly
profile our image as a
country.instead of
confrontation,which will not be in
the best interest of both the
government and the artistes."
