Without a question, one of the most eagerly awaited occasions in the entertainment sector is the Nigerian Entertainment Conference. The event’s 2022 iteration took place on Friday, April 29, 2022, and was well-attended by influential people in the business. The program was organized into panels that addressed topics relevant to the expansion of the entertainment industry in Nigeria.
Ayeni Adekunle, the conference convener, expressed his satisfaction with the progress Nigerian creatives had made thus far. He declared, “NECLive is all about what we witnessed in the Madison Square (in New York, United States of America) where Burna Boy played. Our performers are receiving Grammy nominations, and we now have actors and artists who are highly recognized worldwide. Working together to create the industry of our dreams while exchanging ideas is the spirit of this event.
“A decade or two ago, our artists would not have been able to play major international tours or be featured as the covers of Billboard Magazine.”
“We are currently living the dream we had when we founded NECLive in 2013.” The fashion, music, art, and film trends that we are currently seeing are only in their infancy. Here today are a few of the people who will make it happen. The local economy must gain from the expansion of our music, film, and fashion industries.
A tribute segment to the late musician Lanre Fasasi, also known as Sound Sultan, with tributes from his friends and protégés, was one of the event’s highlights. It was clear that his close ally 2baba was unable to control his emotions as he started crying during a song he was performing in memory of the late artist.
