Following the proposed ban on the shooting and production of music and video clips outside the country by the Federal Government, a number of artists and entertainers have expressed anger at the move.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, had while speaking at the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) House in Lagos, categorically stated that the proposed ban would help tackle exploitation of perceived loopholes in the Nigerian Broadcasting Code, NBC.
This has however drawn the ire of scores of entertainers like one half of the PSquare duo Peter, their elder brother, Jude Okoye, and now Yemi Alade who is the latest artist to condemn the proposed move.
Yemi Alade, took to snap chat to remind the government that the directors they use for the shoots are Nigerians and that musical video production is a business the federal government doesn’t understand.
She also accused the FG of trying to pull the entertainment industry backward.
