“If I travel with a some movie/music stars (outside Nigeria), people will not recognise me, but rather recognise them.

“I will not fail to appreciate the Nigerian film and music industry. They are so much appreciated all over.

“We have a vibrant private sector who are so passionate about encouraging Nigerians artistes.

“With your support, I will win the election. I hope you, artistes, will continue to support me and vote for me.

“I promise you all that in the next four years we will continue to support your effort.”

22:11 Alibaba is now asking President Jonathan a question: “What we need is a proper structure that helps Nigerian artistes make money from our works.”

“The government will encourage people to build more cinemas to wage war against piracy,” Jonathan replies. “Piracy is just like armed robbery. We must continue to suppress piracy. Nigerian artistes must be able to work with government institutions to wage war against piracy.”
