8 Major Manifestations In Nigeria’s Creative Scene

Whether you believe in it or not, manifestations have proven to be effective for a number of people, and Nigeria’s creative scene isn’t left out. The popular saying “a closed mouth is a closed destiny” consistently revalidates itself and proves that sometimes you just have to put things you want to happen into the universe. Collaborations are crucial for growth, and sometimes validation, in the creative industry; but what happens to those major collaborations that just seem beyond your reach? You manifest them. Most creators take to social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram, while others make their manifestations live on TV or podcast interviews: with some even going as far as telling their audience to spam a particular hashtag in hopes of getting a potential collaborator’s attention.

With the Nigerian creative scene growing rapidly and creators gaining widespread attention, we recount 8 major manifestations in the space that serve to motivate and inspire.
