Here’s a video highlighting the growth and stability of the Nigerian Entertainment Industry from the view-point of Nollywood (the movie sector) and Nigerian music in general. In the last few years, Nollywood has grown into one of the most financially viable and popular movie industries across the globe. From Africa, all the way to the Carribean Islands, the movie industry has grown in leaps and bounds, and now the music sector is starting to show real signs of attaining such international recognition.

Today, Nigerian music is probably the highest selling across Africa, with the likes of Kenny Ogungbe (Kennis Music and formerly, 2face Idibia), Obi Asika (Storm 360 and Naeto C), M.I, Cobhams, Nneka, Banky W, Darey, Asa, D’Banj, P-Square, and many others building on the foundation set by the Legends, Fela and Femi Kuti, Lagbaja, Sade, Dr. Alban, Onyeka Onwenu, King Sunny Ade, and a few others.

We end 2009 as Africa’s Power-Hub of entertainment, and with so many releases billed for 2010 (including 2face, M.I, Naeto C, eLDee, Mo Hits and more), we have every reason to believe that Nigeria will be taking a huge step closer to establishing itself as a major world player in the entertainment industry. Watch the video below. Hop on-board. We’re in for a sweet ride!

“You are the one that is responsible for your own image. America is not gonna start saying good things about Nigeria! Nigeria has to say good things about Nigeria!“ – 2face Idibia.

Here’s a video recap of the recently-concluded Hennessy Artistry 2009 competition involving 5 of the most talented up & coming Nigerian music artistes; Bez, Ice Prince, Blaize, Jimmy Flames and Mo Cheddah (all participants have been featured here on notjustOk). Each contestant had to perform with the Hi-note live band, and as we already know, the homie Ice Prince took the crown.

M.I opens up on the “beef” with Iceberg Slim while taking time out to discuss more relevant issues with Liz. Check it out…

First of all, I want you guys to know that I recorded this song 2 months ago; before there was a danger of our ship colliding with an Iceberg…

Modern-day Nigerian music Legend, Innocent Ujah Idibia aka 2face, recently celebrated 10 years of being in the entertainment industry. Inspite of all the negative reports attributed to him, this guy has been very instrumental in shaping up the industry, and helping us break into the international market.

I’ve had the privilege of being in the studio with him while he recorded a track. He comes in without a clue of what the song will be… and before you know it, he already has a verse written AND recorded. Pure Genius! I tell you. He’s also possibly the most humble and nicest guy out there.

Let’s honor the living greats while they’re still fully with us. My heart-felt congratulations goes out to a true African music Icon!

News broke out a couple of weeks ago concerning an incident between Terry G and Ay.com at the Oluwe & Friends Show in Unilag. Well, this is a rare video of what actually went down. Ay.com explains…

For the records, DJ Humility was never stabbed, as some sources had claimed.

*O.O*

Due to popular demand, here are some clips from the Koko Mansion – arguably the No. 1 show on TV right now. There are some really hilarious characters among the girls. They had ‘Mola and I LOLing like half the time. The entertainment (rather, comic) value is certainly high.

Recorded 07-03-09.

Property of HiTV.
