Plateau State government is planning on organizing a Peace concert which will hold on the 26th of August 2017. Read what someone wrote about the Peace concert on Facebook..
He wrote :-
I
sincerely feel bad for performing artists on the Plateau! A few minutes
ago I heard about a peace concert dated to happen this week, sponsored
by the Governor himself. On the list are all artists from Lagos and
none, as seen on the flyer, are based in Jos. This has got to be the
highest form of disregard for artists living in Plateau State. Some of
the Lagos artists that I have been priviliged to meet or work with will
not move an inch without being paid millions. After which they will
travel back and invest into their community.
.
And
you wonder why Lagos is on top of things. It's not rocket science...
Pay a Jos artist 500k and when he/she buys food, clothes, recording
sessions or whatever, the money circulates and helps out OUR economy,
OUR industry. Guys, don't get me wrong... I'm not calling for any
boycotts... but this is why Plateau is still at the level it is in the
entertainment industry; and it always will be if nothing changes.

Jos Chapter (Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria), which is
supposed to be on the look out for artists can't even function because
of the division that exists within itself. I know for a fact that there
is an interim commitee, but I found out that the power struggle between
the old/new leadership is pretty much on going. How can two walk
together if they don't agree?
The
moment someone has a brilliant idea to move the industry forward is
when they're slapped with "you're not an indigene". Kai!!! All this
backwardness is sad! We are our own enemy.
God heal us all. - Charles Udeh Fisty
