Nigerian comics are mesmerizing many people. The documentation is easy for filing the comics. comic books in Nigeria are specially designed to impart knowledge and connect to the readers. The casting of the freedom fighters, in-history Kings and Queens and other disciples who have given their worth in their field make Nigeria a new destination for comics in the world.
There is an African comic in Nigeria which have shown some significant causes of the region. The ownership is either in the hand of Foreign land or Big Corporations which are profit-based and do not worship the real Heroes of the land. They are futuristic in their depiction, showing some magnificent creature or Monster harming people OR just rubbish, awful stories that can not pinch the audience for standing to their land.
What a comic book should be? It is not a very big question. The answer is that Nigeria believes in her interest and should follow that tradition only. We have now seen peace, less-counting corruption, the rise in the economy. Now it's time to give this movement boost, this is possible through the proper grouping of people. We have to subscribe through many channels by with we can connect. One of these channels is comics. Comic books in Nigeria has never been so weak. It demonstrates “What is going around you” instead of that that anything can happen and can make a jurk situation.
The fictional stories are just a work of creativity and manipulation. The need is for concerned stories highlighting general people and their troubles. African comic in Nigeria doesn’t think of the region as one single piece of land. They see it as a new cheap market where you can start with any story that can fulfill the desires of foolish like a beggar's story, animal story, fictional story, alphabet learning story, action story. There are many stories to name some. We have heard of Aladdin, Spider-man, RoboCop which we don’t see in comic books in Nigeria.
A complete visual entity is one that can entertain the public by informing them about their rights, commendations, discoveries, history, etc. African comic in Nigeria should understand our feelings and respect it before throwing unprecedented stories that are just for politics and profit boom!
