Literal Industry and Entertainment Industry, which should more attention be given

This write-up would seek to give my opinion as to whether the literal or entertainment should be given more attention. In the context of this essay, the literal industry encompasses the sector of the economy that deals with written works such as novels, poems and books generally,  while the entertainment industry deals with that which caters for the music, films and the like.

In my opinion the literal Industry though budding in Nigeria deserves more attention. My reasons for this conclusion are stated below.

 Unlike her entertainment counterpart, the literal Industry has greater positive impact on the young ones and mature folks alike. It broadens knowledge, improves language skills, improves creativity among numerous benefits.

Also, there is no occurrence of having success without creativity which is commonplace in the entertainment Industry where youths with good beats and debased, empty lyrics are celebrated all the same, where uninteresting and predictable movies with no positive lessons to impart rack up profit all the same. The crème de la crème only really make it in the literal industry not only because we have a poor reading culture these days, but also because their works has to have a strong, meaningful message to captivate the general public.

This definitely doesn’t in any way imply that the entertainment industry is totally without real talent or positive messages which can have impact but compared to the literary Industry, it has a long way to go in that regard.

The entertainment industry in Nigeria in my opinion has been explored to virtually its full potential while the literary industry has been given almost no attention. It is still fresh in mind that the president not too long injected 3 billion naira into the entertainment industry. No records of any special fund of similar nature being donated to encourage those who are into literary industry is available. There are lots of works of young men and women lying in some shelf if not already destroyed thanks to the disheartening attitude of the government and people in general.

We have strong reasons therefore to conclude that more attention be given to the less developed and more promising Literary industry to foster a generation of more informed and leadership-oriented generation among other benefits.
