Housemates Salone is a reality TV show that is geared to help boost the entertainment industry of Sierra Leone. Amongst other strings attached to the show, like the the grand price of Le250,000,000.00 from AYV and Africell, Housemates Salone is filled with Love, Drama, Gossips etc. On a call to investors around the world, home and abroad, Housemates Salone proudly hosts the CEO of Cribs International, Mr Shaw Cole.
Among things that help in nation’s development in Sierra Leone, entertainment plays a key role. This is because the industry had over the years served as a self employed job for many youths and prevented them from causing havoc due to Idleness. Despite all this efforts, it’s still factual that the industry yearns for more improvement to contribute more into youth empowerment and nation building.
Mr. Shaw Cole’s prime focus on his visit as international guest was to build a platform where we can sell the entertainment industry of Sierra Leone to investors out there and dig deep the reasons why investors should without fear and doubt invest in the industry. His visit as guest was to listen to housemates presentation on their topics related to Entertainment and advice where necessary.
After cogent presentations from housemates on the relevance of investing in the industry and a cry call to all investors around the world, CEO of Cribs International assured investors, home and abroad that Sierra is a peaceful country and the land is virgin in terms of entertainment.
On his summary note, he said Nigeria is like the hub for entertainment in Africa and this shows how huge entertainment is to their GDP. He furthered assured investors that the industry can give you returns when you invest in it. “….so if there is anybody with finance and capital to invest, I assure you Sierra Leone is a virgin land in terms of entertainment….” Mr Cole assured investors on his summary note.
He added that he has proven on countless occasions that Sierra Leone artists are very good. This he said because of the songs the likes of Boss LA, I-Tribe etc are producing despite with low musical equipment. He also admired Sierra Leonean artist compared to other parts of Africa like Nigeria where some musicians were only given songs to sing but cannot write for themselves like most Sierra Leone musicians do.
On his concluding statement, Mr Cole advised every investor in the world that wishes to invest in Sierra Leone entertainment industry to not be afraid to do so. He added that Sierra Leoneans have talent that can earn Sierra Leoneans and the investor including the government millions of dollar if someone chooses to invest in the industry.
On emphasizing the benefits of the industry, he affirmed that one way to curb the drugs addiction and crime scenes is to provide studios, sport centers which will engage youths seriously. The he believed is because of idle minds that youths mostly engage into something not profitable but if they have something that engage them, they wouldn’t have time to cause problems.
