II like the current Nigeria Entertainment industry because we are going globally, just like Far from home which is streaming on Netflix is being watched by thousands of people around the world, so yeah, Nigeria entertainment industry is growing better.
I think a lot of work needs to be done in bringing young talents on bigger platforms, there are times where many audtions are used for publicity instead of actually acquiring talents, so its a lot of work for talented actor.
