You want to know how Nigeria kills you? Here's a summary:

Those Ikorodu Bois have been churning out great content for a while now. They are getting due attention. It's been tough; you can see the struggle in their videos. But they keep going on.

No Nigerian government, federal or state, has offered them any help. No Nigerian government agency has offered them any worthy assistance. They have been left to bear their burden all on their own.

Netflix, a foreign entity, has now sent them production equipment so they can make better videos. Netflix is helping to ease their burden. Netflix may get some small good PR from this, but really that's isn't crucial to Netflix's bottomline.

You can guess that the Ikorodu Bois will now step up their productions, perhaps move to even bigger creative possibilities and hopefully, this will present opportunities to extract max value from the value chain of their enterprise.

This is where Nigeria steps into the room...

After contributing NOTHING to the journey of the Ikorodu Bois thus far, Nigeria will step into the room to feed fat from where it added no value whatsoever.

Lagos State will tax the air they breathe.
NBC's code will ensure that should anything they do
become a massive hit...

...they cannot extract max value from that work.

If the Ikorodu Bois should try to fight back, the DG of NBC will say to them that, because Netflix gave them equipment, they are agents of foreign takeover of Nigeria.

The NBC DG is a Professor of Mass Communications. Allegedly.

And who will the Ikorodu Bois look up to fight for them?

Not their elders in the industry, certainly. No. Those ones only find their voices when directly affected.

And so for them we must pray for the fire next time, preferably on their roofs.

And that is how Nigeria kills.

Shalom.
