Bongos Ikwue Will Be Compensated For His Songs – MCSN
Share on WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on TwitterTelegram

The Musical Copyright Society of Nigeria (MCSN) has said the organisation would ensure that music maestro, Bongos Ikwue, gets full payment not only for past use of his works but for present and future exploitation.

Director-general/chief executive officer of MCSN, Mayo Ayilaran,  said this when Bongos was registered as a member of  MCSN at a ceremony which was witnessed by MCSN chairman and notable musician, Orits Williki, at Bongos’s Asokoro, Abuja residence.

Ayilaran said, “From now, his works are no longer free to be used. All his works will be tracked and he will be fully compensated. Wherever his music is played, he gets paid: naira income if within Nigeria and dollar/pounds from works played outside the country.

This is why Ayilaran is calling on younger musicians to join MCSN as life does not end on stage.”

He said besides performance fees, there are a lot of fees that accrue to musicians, composers and performers which they are not presently enjoying because their works are not registered. “MCSN will guarantee regular income from the exploitation of any work on multiple platforms. This is residual income. As long as your work is played on radio, TV, cable or streamed digitally, you get paid. This is not a promise. It is a guarantee,” he said, adding that members of the society are co-owners.

“I am a little above 80,” he revealed. “It’s been long overdue. The creator of the popular musical score, ‘Cock Crow at Dawn’, and such enduring songs as ‘Still Searching, ‘What’s Gonna be, Gonna be’, ‘Amen’, and ‘Eche Une,’ among others, urged younger musicians to register their works.

“There’s so much technology now. You can never repeat anything you have done.”

Chairman MCSN, Orits Williki lamented that for years, the works of Bongos Ikue were used with impunity without considering compensation for him.

“We look forward to when the works will bring back the dividends to him. I am happy that we are doing the right thing,” he said.
