Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall.
Do the careful thing, even when it's the harder thing. Good week, everyone.

Nigeria has no overarching entertainment statute.
Instead: the Constitution (s.39(1) freedom of expression), the Copyright Act 2022, Trade Marks Act, Patents and Designs Act, NBC Act, NFVCB Act 1993 and the Nigerian Film Corporation Act 1979.

Nigeria's art market has talent, international demand, and growing visibility. What it doesn't have is access to capital.
For most artists and galleries, there is virtually no way to finance growth or borrow against the value they've already created.
