A talents hunt and reality show for people with permanent disability (PWDs) tagged No Limit has debuted.

Lee Entertainment Limited owned by Lydia Babatunde Ogbolu is the organizer of the historic talent hunt and reality show specially designed for the physically challenged people.

The audition forms for the ‘No Limit’ Talents Hunt and Reality Show has been made available for interested contestants from Monday, 24 April, 2017.

Speaking on the reality show, Lydia Babatunde Ogbolu stated “We have seen plenty entertainment and empowerment shows for people on Television.

Almost every quarter, a new one launches but we have constantly neglected the physically challenged among us. These are the people the society calls blind, deaf, crippled and so on”.

The ‘No Limit’ Talent Hunt and Reality Show is a commendable initiative that is designed to house over 20 physically challenged people that have talents such as singing, painting, dancing, comedy and instrument playing.

The Reality Show will also train participants in various skill sets which will be put to a weekly test, television showcase and audience voting.

At the end of the four weeks competition, five top winners will emerge to win the grand prize while the other contestants would have gained exposure, training and support from the large network of instructors and public.

Endorsed by the Lagos State Government, it will broadcast every week on major Television stations which will help project the skills and abilities of the physically challenged contestants and their skill-sets to the world.

Physically challenged people who are interested in taking part in the ‘No Limit’ Talent Hunt and Reality Show are expected to pick up their forms at any of these locations in Lagos starting from Monday, April 24, 2017.

The Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) has finally approved the Musical Copyright Society Nigeria (MCSN) to operate as a Collecting Management Organization (collecting society) in compliance with the Attorney General and Minister of Justice’s directive,

In a letter signed by the Director General of the NCC, Mr. Afam, the
Commission referred to the directive of the Attorney General, Abubakar Malami,
SAN, of March 22, 2017, pursuant to Section 50 of the Copyright Act, Cap C28, LFN 2004, to convey the Commission’s approval to MCSN to operate as collecting management organisation for musical works and sound recordings in Nigeria.

The MCSN had, in 2009, applied to the NCC for it to be approved as collecting management organisation, but the Commission, in a letter dated May 20, 2010, refused MCSN approval without giving any reason.

The MCSN headed to the Federal High Court to quash the decision. It also approached the National Assembly, which directed its joint committees on Justice and Judiciary, to look into the matter.

The committees conducted an investigative public hearing and established that MCSN was unjustly refused approval, following which the NASS passed a series of resolutions, one of which was the directive to the NCC to approve/license MCSN to operate as a collecting society forthwith. The NCC, however, refused to carry out the NASS’s directive.

With the coming of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, MCSN again complained to the Attorney General, Justice Malami, who, after another round of investigation, agreed with the findings and resolution of the NASS, and directed the NCC to issue, with immediate effect, an approval, by way of license, to the MCSN to operate as a collecting society for the purpose of the Copyright Act.

The NCC’s compliance is expected to bring the crisis which has hit the copyright sector for more than 25 years, to an effective and permanent end.
