Advertising From the establishment of the West Afri￾can Publicity Limited by UAC in 1928, the advertising industry has grown to a huge industry aptly classified under the creative industry. The Association of Advertising.

The Performing Arts Performance by musicians, singers, story￾tellers, and actors has long been accorded legal protection nationally and internation￾ally (Odunaike, 2016). The sector consti￾tutes a specific genre of intellectual property in Nigeria. Performers focus on interpreting, translating and transmitting stories, songs, folklore and diverse literary works through performances and thus constitute an intrin￾sic part of the creative value chain.

Visual Arts The Nigerian art market comprises a small group of new and established collectors, a network of art galleries spread across the nation, annual auctions in Lagos and London, and a considerable number of paintings and sculptures produced by both students and professionals.

(The Fashion Industry) There has been an unprecedented level of exposure to the Nigerian fashion industry in recent times which has translated into unique business opportunities for the operators in the industry. Today, Nigerian designers are regularly featured in international fashion shows and have gained footholds among global celebrities. This growth is a result of the institution of fashion weeks coupled with the explosion of new and social media.

1. Introduction: Many scholars have written on the problems of identity in Nigerian Art. Carroll (1967) concentrates on the relevance of religion in Yoruba carving while Adepegba (1982) elaborates mostly on the traditional Nigerian Art, its past and relevance on the community where it is produced, and other attributes. Roy (1979) in his own case writes generally on African sculpture, while Sieber (1961) concentrates extensively on the sculpture-types of the Northern part of Nigeria. Beier (1959) discusses wood carving among the Yoruba of south-western part of Nigeria. He also in 1960 writes generally on Art in Nigeria. Thompson (1968) discusses the aesthetics in traditional African art, while Abiodun (1975) concentrates on ifa art objects in Yoruba Oral Tradition, and Drewal (1977) elaborates on the Traditional Art of the Nigerian Peoples as a whole. The focus of this paper is however, not far from their views but different in subject of definition of terms. What is Nigerian Art? Why the appellation “Nigerian Art” given to the art form of this area of West Africa? Could it be because the Art or the Art objects are produced from Nigeria or Nigerian? To attempt answers to these questions, one has to look into many aspects of the culture that produce such works of art. Nigerian art has many faces found deep in the socio￾cultural setting of the people involved. These faces may include the choice of subject matter, use of colour, patterning techniques, use of symbols, and the general outlook of the art works. From the western world point of view, the so called “Nigerian art” as other art forms in West African.

I Believe in Art and Culture. Status of Nigerian Art Status in this regard refers to the professional position or rank in relation to other art forms in the region or even in the world at large. Before going deep into this, there is need to do a sort of lucid classification which could be under Traditional and Contemporary. Tradition could mean the passing of beliefs customs from one generation to the next undiluted. But to relate it to art, it could mean the passing of a long-established method or practice of art production from one generation to the other. While contemporary could mean present time or modern or even what we can refer to as worldwide accepted type of art. Which side should Nigeria take presently? Is it a totally condensed traditional art form or dance to the yearnings of Modernization in order to be reckoned with? To go along with this classification, we need to leave out the importance of economy in the determination of status regarding Nigerian Art. Economic factor must be reduced so as to bring out the importance and status of Nigerian Art? We need to create a compromise between them as Carpenter (1973) rightly pointed out in his book on Inuit Souvenirs. He reminds us that Michelangelo worked for money without loss of integrity, and he never mass-produced to debase the status of his art works. We are now faced with a reality, and a question is now staring at us, and that is, how many Nigerian.

(Nigerian is a Beautiful Place) Every society possesses a richly diverse cultural heritage viewed as an asset to the people and which represents a shared identity that binds them together. Stakeholders within the cultural and creative industry exert optimal effort in preserving this heritage and the diverse cultural content within the context of the prevailing political and economic climate. Within the Nigerian context, the cultural and creative industries represent an ever- -expanding complex of different economic sectors. In recent times, there has been an increase in focus on those sectors that have high creative intensity, leading to an urgent need towards achieving an all- -encompassing definition of cultural and creative.
