Recently, I was looking for where to get comic books. I cannot explain my craving for it lately but I could not get it at any store close to me. Unfortunately, I am not in Lagos but I fear that may be the case there too.

Judging from our childhood, we never loved reading but we loved comic books. So I doubt it is the poor reading culture in Nigeria that led to the sudden demise. I see a lot of business opportunities in it. I believe a lot of stories can be represented in comics to tell the story to our children and prepare them for the future. I remember we feasted on comic books but my best Nigerian comic book was Binta.

So, it makes sense to ask, what made comic books disappear in Nigeria?

😁

With dollar to naira rate, how many kids can afford comics? As kids we only need to walk to neighborhood bookstores to pick from

That is the business opportunity I was talking about. Can we not develop it again. Deeperlife Mirror is still a comic book and goes for free. I think the problem is possibly with content development.

I am a comic script writer, I have written a few over the past decades, developed some stories and characters too.

There are a lot of challenges faced by the Africa comic industry at large but I can tell you the potential are there, I am currently still holding out on starting something on my own some day, I see the potential, I sees market , I see ideas and plans that would work and turn this into a success.
