“Art is man’s constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him.” So wrote Chinua Achebe, although he makes no comment about the thousands of different realities in Nigeria, which result naturally in a fragmented cultural output. What else can one expect from a country with 510 different living languages? So while Nigeria doubtless has an extremely rich cultural history and diverse talent, the issue lies in its lack of co- ordination, which is a major stumbling block to a united cultural output.
