January 21, 2016 – President of the Nigerian Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki says the entertainment industry has done a great deal of transformation to Nigerian economy.
Saraki made the revelation when he received Patrick Okoye, aka Patoranking in his office.
He said young entertainers are using their music to change the perception of Nigeria for good.
He said that unlike his time when it is fashionable to listen to foreign artistes, the trend is now different, kudos to the young boys he said.
“Today, I had the pleasure of interacting with Patrick Okorie aka Patoranking.
I must say, we are proud of what Nigerians are doing in the entertainment, music and the film industry. Over the last few years, our performers have worked hard to put Nigeria out there as a force to be reckoned with in entertainment.
“Just the other day, I was saying to my own kids that in our time, all we listened to was foreign music. Now, they don’t even listen to foreign music anymore, they listen more to local music.
“This development might seem small to some, but it is a great transformation and we must commend the new generation of Nigerians in the entertainment industry for the fantastic work that they are doing to change the perception of our country”, he said.
