And for my next trick I will call my life beautiful and watch it instantly become so

I dont like talking much but a big shout out to the poeple that have been fighting to fix our IP and Copyrights reforms as well as CMO regulations!

There is still work and I am honoured to know you guys!

A robust Collective Management Organisation regulation in Nigeria is not a niche administrative matter. It is economic infrastructure — and fixing it is, simultaneously, an act of policy reform, a trade enablement measure, a commercial infrastructure investment, and an act of cultural justice.

Work dey o!!!!!!

Plan for initial two year deal, JM to travel to Madrid after Real-Bilbao game.

The Special One is back.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned from the CBA program so far is that there is really no fixed blueprint or fast route to success in the creative industry like many of us once believed.

One thing the @cbaforafrica Academy has taught me is that the music industry is far deeper than just “making music.” Behind every hit record are IPs, Ownership, Structure, etc. African music is no longer just culture. It’s a serious economic asset.

@cbaforafrica taught me that you can build the perfect strategy, the cleanest contracts, the sharpest EPK; but without real people who genuinely care, none of it moves. Your network is your infrastructure. Community isn’t a tactic. It’s the business model. #CBAForAfrica26

One thing I love about what @cbaforafrica is doing is that they are filling a wide gap in the creative industry. Everyone just entering the industry is supposed to just “know” how it works, and usually that leads to mistakes that could have been avoided.

[boluwatife @batishefe]

A few months into @cbaforafrica and I see music
completely different now.

The art and the business were never supposed to be
separate. Treating them like they are is what's been
ending careers in this industry for years.

Watch this space.

MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR SINCE I JOINED THE CREATIVE BUSINESS ACADEMY FOR AFRICA 2026 🤓

First things first I want to say Thank you @GodwinTom and @cbaforafrica for this opportunity.

Joining Creative Business for Africa has honestly been such an eye opening experience so far.

As an artist get a lawyer that understands copyright #CBAForAfrica26 @cbaforafrica

[Lawyer_Wey_Sabi™️ @ObunikeLove]

#CBAForAfrica26 has been one of the most intellectually stretching experiences of my legal career this year.

CBA rewired the way I think about creativity as a business. From Intellectual property Valuation,Royalties, Publishing and strategies.

[Martins @mar_t_ins]

CBA has completely transformed my view of the music and creative industry.

Super informative, eye-opening, and way beyond expectations. Learned why structure matters and how artists must run like businesses.

[VEED @EpitomeOfGrace1]

The last 4 months of my life has been a mix of confusion and direction. Confusion from a place of being loaded with ideas and direction from a place of executions.

@cbaforafrica has been crucial in shaping these realities for me. Personally I’ve been the type to always thrive better in an environment where there’s a structure. This experience isn’t just shaping my realities but it is also helping me exercise my emotional intelligence dealing with my colleagues from different spheres of work, from dealing with tasks which you can be assigned a group lead, to communicating, to negotiating work terms, and to building a relationship outside the whole scope of work.

It is becoming clearer with every step forward that the creative industry is one that cannot be sustained without a proper structure being established in our fast pacing continent Africa. There is the “show” and there is the “business” and both can only survive when strategically approached.

One thing that’d always live with me is that, you cannot overemphasize the importance of having a legal backup (an entertainment lawyer) who would stand for the best of your interests. Without that, everything you have ever worked for can just fall into shambles.

CBA is a “community” that breeds “competence” and “leadership”. The moment your colleagues and team mates can assign you to tasks continuously, it is safe to say the impact is slowly becoming evident.

Lastly, the support services industry exists for a reason and I am still glad to be walking this with talent and business managers, lawyers, A&Rs, marketing experts, and sound engineers. There’s absolutely no show without these sets of support.

To the founder @GodwinTom who is a light in this path, I quote “The world you are training to enter is not gentle. The creative industry, in Africa and globally, is fast, unforgiving, and quick to move on from people who are not ready for it. It will hand you an incomplete brief and expect a complete result. It will shift the rules mid-project and call it business as usual. It will judge your failures before it has finished applauding your wins. I am not telling you this to frighten you”. Without any doubt, we’re threading in the footsteps of giants.
To the whole @CIIFAfrica team, this wouldn’t be possible without you.

Love🤞🏽

#CBAForAfrica26 has been both demanding and deeply rewarding, giving me the chance to unpack the complexities of the music business while connecting with a large supportive network of people. I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to take part in the program @cbaforafrica
