According to him, in an environment ‘where everyone is busy looking out for their own interests, approving several collective management organizations in Nigeria will simply open the door for people to use the opportunity to feather their own nests at the expense of right owners.
Mr. Idibia made the call while presenting a paper titled, Slaying the Collective Rights Monster at the Nigerian Entertainment Conference held recently at Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos.
In the words of 2Face Idibia, “A world class collective management system will not fall on our laps. All stakeholders will need to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty in a bid to grow, nurture and sustain it. Is this possible? Obviously, yes! We have started the journey and I'm optimistic we shall succeed.”
The singer who acknowledged COSON as “the single collecting society recognized by the law of the land”, called on all music industry stakeholders to join hands with COSON and ensure the emergence of a more profitable industry that provides wealth for the nation and employment for Nigerian citizens.
2face Idibia has called on all Nigerian musicians and other music industry stakeholders to fully support Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) to ensure the realization of the real value and dividend of intellectual property across the country.
Location: Lagos, Nigeria

  Oil firm Royal Dutch Shell was told a pipeline had reached the end of its life years before it spilled up to 500,000 barrels of oil, according to court documents seen by the BBC. Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
