This is wishing all African Creatives a Happy New Year.

No other group of professionals were more affected by 2020 and all it brought. African Creatives were left confused and without means of earning for nearly 24months. If we survived, it means we can translate all we experienced into Stories, Music, Poems, Dance, Film and many other expressions that will take us to a new level.

New things have been birthed, new ideas have come to life, many of it will be unfolding in few weeks. African Creatives, you hold the key of uniting Africa to her lost sons & daughters living outside Africa. You hold the key of transferring our heritage and culture to Africans living outside Africa, our gifts if properly expressed will be the anchor to draw them back home. African Creatives, we have a bigger task at hand in 2020, a tasked that will be talked about forever.

The AMFEST Family, wishes you all a more impactful and glorious 2021. ✊🏽✌🏽

Creatives, there is so much to learn from & situation. Africans, we need to love each other more. Artiste Managers, Foreign Affairs Ministries, Show producers and promoters need to work better together to avoid such issues in future.

We pray this brings more creativity to these stars and not a travel phobia..

Home awaits you guys..❤️

So proud of and the Nigerian gospel music industry and its professionals. They are often not acknowledged by mainstream on the continent or in the Diaspora but they are many times way ahead of the game in reach and impact.

Territory taking, piece by piece.

with in case you missed these important stories on the latest music streaming companies setting up shop in Africa's #1 entertainment market, Nigeria.

Of late, I have been saying based on my observations, that I believe Africa's citizens, give or take 3 to 5 years, will be the ones primarily funding the rich and famous lifestyles of your favorite American celebrity, especially musicians.

That is why when I saw the latest financial reporting on 's Black is King (BIK) indicating that BIK's recent release has only reached 2.2% of the Disney Plus 60 million viewers, I said, "kini (what is the) big deal?"

Beyonce's distribution strategy was to broker deals with Disney Plus, Canal+ Afrique for Central and West Africa, South Africa's MultiChoice Group's Channel MNET for Sub-saharan Africa, and in the Middle East and North Africa secure distribution via Emirati Television's OSN. All of her combined Africa deals have overwhelmingly more reach than Disney, in the early release.

So what does it matter that a newcomer to the VOD streaming market doesn't get her the wide reach when Africa can?

It is important to note that for a while now, global entertainment revenues have been a major source of income for American creatives and institutions. As of March 2020, per an MPA report, global entertainment revenue surpassed 100 billion; but on the flip side what we saw was ticket sales for the U.S. market falling over 4%.

All of these make the deal-making for African creatives very interesting especially when it comes battling for exclusive control of the African market. Historically, African creatives carved out Africa as exclusively their own in a lot of their western entertainment deals. But, I won't be surprised if, for example, Beyonce secured the territorial rights for Africa in BIK from all African creatives given her distribution deals with the networks. I also expect to see this kind of pursuit for Africa by western conglomerates who can now say, "well am in Africa so African creative give it up."

Interesting times ahead. Your thoughts?
