Duncan Mighty Calls For Agency To Check Piracy
The need for the federal government to set up an agency to check piracy related cases in Nigeria, had been stressed.
Rivers State born musician, Duncan Wenne Mighty, made the call recently, while speaking with some journalists at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa.
The musician, who was answering questions about the hunger strike recently embarked upon by some artists in Nigeria, said that the answer to the problem of piracy in Nigeria, lies in setting up of similar agency like National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and others, to solely handle piracy related cases.
Duncan Mighty, who described piracy as a sin, and enemy of progress, said piracy is as serious as fake drug issue and therefore needs urgent solution like any other national problem.
On the hunger strike by the artists, the Musician described it as a demonstration of their anger and frustration against piracy but that it was not the answer to the problem.
The musician who equally bared his mind on the efforts of the Performing Musician Association of Nigeria (PMAN), to check piracy, noted that the association had put in its best but that their best was not enough to checkmate the evil called piracy.
“PMAN like you can see had done its best but the problem is still there like Zuma rock”, he stressed.
He appealed to the federal government to do something against piracy as to protect the intellectual gifts of the Nigerians artistes.
