Incredible! This is indeed incredible because some believe it can never be achieved in this part of the world; to sell a Nigerian artiste’s CD for NI000.00. We can authoritatively reveal that the 2Face Idibia re-issued album, the international edition of Unstoppable has been selling for a thousand naira in the last one week.
Explaining the achievement, the CEO of Soforte, the company handling the album distribution here in Nigeria, Mr Gbenga George said it is the way forward for the music industry. “How long are we going to be selling our music in one miserable jacket at the rate of N150?” he asked rhetorically. “2Face’s new album is packaged the way it’s being done in the western world. It is a thing of joy that we too are raising the bar. It’s an album to buy, listen to and keep because of the quality of the CD. We implore all Nigerians to join this revolution”, he concluded.
So far, the response of Nigerians towards Mr Idibia’s new album has been fantastic even though some are still sitting on the fence. They are yet to be convinced to buy a Nigerian album for a thousand Naira even though they spend more on foreign albums. Different retail stores across the country that took like five copies of the album to test the market are requesting for more just as one of the leading music stores in Lagos, Nu Metro has requested for more copies of the album.
