Five Star Music Artiste, KCee has given his opinion concerning the
Federal Government’s move to stop the production of Nigerian music and
videos abroad. This he did in an interview with Wotzup ONTV.
Minister
of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed had said during a meeting with
the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) that the Federal Government
will look in to ways they can help the local entertainment industry.
Part of their plan is to stop the trend whereby contents meant for the
Nigerian public is produced abroad and brought into the country for
consumption.
Many Nigerian music artistes have shared their views
concerning the move. Five Star Music artiste, KCee sees it as a move
that will prevent the progress of the industry. He gave an instance of
how difficult it will be to bring a foreign artiste down to Lagos to
shoot a video to a song they did together.
Currently, the
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is away in London
concerning health issues. Nigerians have complained about the prolong
absence of the President whose nature of sickness they are not informed
about. The proposed move by the FG is seen by many musicians including
Peter of Psquare as an hypocritical one since most government officials
prefer overseas when they want to educate their children or get medical
attention.
While the President is away in London for treatment, a
wing of the President’s political party, All Progressive Congress
(APC), has suggested that Peter of Psquare should be arrested for
statements he made in reaction to the move by FG to ban foreign produced
contents. Singer also commented on the issue saying if Peter of Psquare
is arrested, then Nigerian Musicians will look for the President who is
away in London and tell him about the problem.
The singer also
spoke on the issue of social media fans always questioning to know the
source of his brother E-money’s wealth. He wondered why they never
bothered about them when they were poor and living in Ajegunle, a ghetto
in Lagos. He had more to say which you can watch in the video below and
also on Wotzup ONTV showing on TVC Mondays 3pm.
