TIME TO RISE UP AND TAKE ACTION....ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Phil Roberts


My Name is Amb. Phil Roberts. I am tired of seeing musicians suffering when we know what to do...
· Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has stack of funds for the creative industries
· SMEDAN has a scheme for promoting creative entrepreneurs
· The Ministry of Trade and investment have funds available to invest in our industry
· The Nigerian Trade and Exports are looking towards investing in Non oil sectors as the creative industries fall under their jurisdiction
· NEXIM BANK have funds for us (Nigerian creatives)
· BOI have funds for us (Nigerian creatives)
· Ministry of labor and productivity are looking forward to empowering the trade unions as we also fall under their jurisdiction
· Do you know we have health insurance funds for the creative industry?
· And lastly do you know people come into Abuja to take entertainment projects (that we were suppose to handle) because they don't recognize us?
· Some musicians died last year because no money for hospital bills?
· Some good people like BABA 2010 had to pay for even blood transfusion for one of our musicians because nobody could assist them and yet we have PMAN.
· Many musicians have being thrown away from their various places of work
· Some musicians can't even pay their children's school fees
· Some musicians have lost their relationships because no money
· Some musicians are even homeless now
· Some musicians have lost contact with their families because they feel they can't keep up with responsibilities

PMAN'S EXCO Meets in Abuja



A meeting of the Executives of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) took place yesterday 18th January, 2019 in Abuja. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Solomon Nda-Isaiah (the Governor). Other officials at the meeting included Cent Moko (secretary), Amb. Phil Robert (PRO), Ken Origha (treasurer), Okey Chilakpu (provost) and Ras Johnpaul (welfare officer 1).

After the welcome address by the governor, issues were raised by the secretary as follows:

· Organizing PMAN award night
· Calling on the stakeholders and all aggrieved members/factions for reconciliation
· Holding an election.

Amb. Phll Roberts however in his explanations noted that even if event were to be organized the other faction will attempt to frustrate it. They will always sabotage their efforts emphasizing that these has been going on for quite awhile. Therefore he suggested writing letters to all the the stakeholders, inviting them for a meeting to discuss the way forward so that all members can start benefiting from the industry and that they present at the meeting are ready to collapse their house for the sake of peace so as to encourage the other faction to also do same.

After a prolonged deliberation, the house unanimously agreed on Phil Roberts’ suggestion. Phil Roberts also supported the move with a financial donation.

On Set With Nollywood Veterans Sydney Diala & Vincent Opurum

 
I recently had a wonderful experience coordinating a Film Production involving Star Nollywood actors Sydney Diala & Vincent Opurum. Working with these two fine thespians was really nice. They are great professionals and epitome of real success. They proved the saying that TRUE GREATNESS ALWAYS CARRY HUMILITY ON ITS BACK.
