We face a lot of rejection, hopelessness and negativity. Yet, when one becomes successful, it gets even worse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The problem is so big and many artists are turning to drug abuse. We need to tackle the issue collectively to find ways to help creatives in Nigeria and Africa when faced with rejection,\u201d<\/em> MI Abaga said.<\/p>\n<p>MI Abaga went on to address the need for decentralization in the entertainment industry as a means of fostering its growth and development.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing parallels with countries like South Africa, the United States, and the United Kingdom, he emphasized the importance of creating thriving entertainment hubs across various regions.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe entertainment industry needs to be decentralised for it to really develop. Take South Africa for instance, if I want to shoot a film, it is probably better to go to Cape Town, and if I want to shoot a music video, I would go to Johannesburg. The more we develop in different areas, the better the country gets.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAlso, in the United States of America, there are places like Atlanta, New York, Texas that have thriving entertainment hubs, and in the United Kingdom, there are places like London and Liverpool.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBut, in Nigeria, we only have Lagos and there is a drop off. However, places like Plateau State can really develop and be a part of the industry.
