The shift in consumer priorities in countries like Nigeria, as noted by MultiChoice, is indeed a significant trend. However, it's also important to consider the rise of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services as a contributing factor to this shift. IPTV services have changed the way people consume entertainment content, offering a range of channels, sports, and entertainment options at a lower cost. With IPTV, consumers have more options than ever before, and can access content from around the world. This has undoubtedly disrupted the traditional pay-TV model, forcing providers to adapt and innovate. The prioritization of basic necessities over entertainment may be a necessity for some, but it's also clear that consumers are seeking more affordable and flexible options for their entertainment needs.

This leads to a lack of confidence, motivation, and originality by creatives. This without a doubt is fact and true but on a second thought, after considering the "biggest obstacles," let's ponder over these: Where are the motivational measures set aside to support creatives who really want to excel in the creative industry? WHERE ARE : 1 - Collaborative Support from other successful creators? 2 - Financial Support? 3 - Constructive Criticism? 4 - Access to internet for resources and stable power supply? 5 - Monetization of creatives works, pitching and bidding for GIGS? 6 - Copyright Policies that works? Ask yourself as creatives in Nigeria and Africa, do you have access to all these listed above; and if YES how easy was it for you ? What practical solution can be adopted in combating this?
