#AfricaEvolve What's with our mentality over here...

Obviously there's nowhere, no sector, that hasn't experienced some sort of redundancy In-terms of maintaining a certain level of standards. However it's now becoming not just an instance but a trend that is fast manifesting in the most critical sectors of the economy.


The entertainment arena in Nigeria have witnessed whole lot of amazing talents in music, movies, comedy, and other related platforms within the creative industry, but now it seems the quality of talents are no longer sustainable.
For instance, some music artistes once looked upon as genuine potential to achieve a lasting career are now fizzling out like sparring smoke from a quenched fire.

Olamide

NO DISRESPECT, but forget the apparent hype around the brand "Wizkid" - ask yourself when was the last time he dished out a genuine hit song? Most music critics say it's more than 2years ago - and don't even mention his recent release "Fever" because we all know it was just an average song deliberately hyped-up by a controversial video featuring Tiwa Savage.
Some fans criticize Davido for his "croaky" voice, but he is churning out more hit songs than the supposed "Star Boy"! Once an entertainer makes a financial breakthrough then somehow that hustling mentality - that hunger for more success - drops dramatically till its extinguished.

Again, NO DISRESPECT to any persons, but it's not far from the truth. The creative sector can contribute more for economic development In-terms of revenue appreciation - but dwindling levels in quality is undermining the huge potential of the entertainment industry. That mentality to sustain the thirst for further success and surpass existing personal feats must be imbibed by entertainers.
Huge ShoutOuts to personalities who have often managed to maintain that super drive of consistency - Tubaba, Olamide, and within the new school - Teni tha Entertainer, and Fireboy DML who's a young guy destined for greatness in no time.
