Okay, the wait is finally over. The registration for the 2019 Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NECLive7) is now on!

For the past 6 years, the Nigerian Entertainment Conference has been the go-to event for brainstorming, as well as sharing of insights, ideas, and solutions to problems facing the entertainment industry.

In 2014, Prof. Pat Utomi delivered a keynote speech on how the industry was blooming with no government support – with only a group of revolutionaries and visionaries gathering to build it from nothing.

Since the time, the industry has gone on to record even more laudable, record shattering feats. But there’s more to be done, as it remains ever evolving.

Courtesy technology, we have been ushered into an era where accessible data and consumer roles have become vital to the industry’s continued progress.

This, and more, is what an even better NECLive7 offers.

This year’s event which explores the theme: ‘Mobile, Data, Consumers and the future of Entertainment’ promises to be one of the best yet, as it focuses on the hard and smart work that still needs to be done by a generation that is keen on taking the baton from current visionaries to achieve even more desirable feats.

Registration for participants at the event which holds Wednesday, April 24, 2019, is absolutely FREE – as it has been for the past 6 editions.

#NECLive5: From Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, Arole to sit on panel with comedy heavyweights

Those who don’t consume funny videos on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are not likely to encounter Arole. But they’re likely to be in the minority.

The pseudo-prophet has built his brand, and grown his relevance and revenue by tapping into one psychology: Nigerians love pastors, prophecies and preaching.

And he’s not alone. There are increasingly many like him, building characters and using the opportunities social media provides, to distribute their contents and imprints in such organic ways many big brands are in awe of.

How does his mind work? What’s the game plan? And what does this trend mean for the comedy industry?

Starting from just an idea a few years ago, #AfropolitanVibes, the monthly gig promoted by Ade Bantu and partners has become indispensable for many Lagosians looking to have a good time and quality entertainment in a convivial atmosphere.

Afropolitan is about the only Lagos concert where you’re allowed to be yourself. No VIPs. No Table seatings. No pretenders.

How did Bantu, himself a musician, do it? What does the industry have to learn from this success, as musicians and labels work to create owned platforms and new revenue models at a time when corporate Nigeria is cutting budgets and looking elsewhere?
