Laxity in the enforcement of laws against obscenity is encouraging immoral songs and films in the country, an Ilorin-based music promoter, Adedotun Ajala has said.

Ajala who is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Moyinnet Entertainment accused those who patronized sleazy songs of being corrupt in the mind.

He spoke with newsmen in Ilorin, Kwara State during the launch of a Christian album waxed by a budding artiste, Akinmameji Oluwole a.k.a Ebony Prince. The title of the album is "Elevating."

Ajala added that "between 80 and 85 per cent of contemporary artistes in Nigeria are not promoting Nigerian culture. But there are some of them that are promoting Nigerian cultural heritage. These people wax gospel (Christian and Muslim). Some produce in the traditional Nigerian languages. Some sing about something you can see in the society that is educational in a way. Unfortunately, the ones that flood the industry, are the ones that produce lyrics that are against the cultural settings of Nigeria. And before you know it one promoter somewhere will promote them.

"It takes time to discover these young ones that give what you need. That is why we are in the business of hunting for the talented ones in Ilorin, Kwara State. We look at the content of their music. Is it the kind of music that a visitor in my car can listen to it? Is it the kind of music I can play in my home theatre that my children can listen to at home?", Ajala said.

The promoter said fund is the major challenge facing the entertainment industry in Nigeria, adding that "there are lots of talented young musicians out there. It requires a lot of funds to bring them to the limelight.Out of nothing, we have to make sure we do something," he said.
