I would disagree here. Nigeria’s entertainmt industry dominates Africa. I believe the word you’re looking for is aesthetic

No. I meant precisely the word I used. The aesthetics is just a subset of the general disregard and aversion Nigerians have for humanistic/artistic pursuits. Our religious culture in my opinion contributes to this aversion.

To be honest, I don't think Nigeria's entertainment industry is much to write home about regardless of its popularity on the continent, but I appreciate that's my own personal opinion. Nigerian film-making is nothing short of amateurish. I've watched Charlie Chaplin black-and-white comedy sketches in the 1930's that we are still decades away from coming close to anything like that. The music industry is all style and no substance. There are no Felas around today. People who speak to power in their music and breed social and political consciousness among their listeners, and play musical instruments and add layers of tonal depth to their music. Before Fela even gets to the part of singing, just listen to his instrumental intros to songs like "Lady", "Gentleman", "Water no get enemy", "Zombie", "Go Slow" etc. Nobody does anything like that today. Just studio-generated beats where people with no real musical talent sing empty, soulless lyrics about how many billion they have in their account and anything that comes to mind. They are probably okay if music only exists to make us dance and fool around in parties and clubs, but music is so much more than that, and I find most of the music that dominates the Nigerian airwaves to be soulless.
