I must first commend you for the research done. Your article creates a solid foundation by providing a complete summary of Intellectual Property Laws applicable to Nigeria's entertainment industry. A person who had no idea of IP laws would read your work and have a foundational idea. The use of Decided Cases successfully demonstrates the practical use of these Laws. 


However, the part on the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) may cause some misunderstanding because it implies it is an intellectual property Law, which it is not. CAMA is vital for the operational aspects of the entertainment industry, but noting that its primary focus is corporate governance and business regulation rather than direct intellectual property protection will improve the article's accuracy. 


Examining fair dealing and enforcement loopholes is insightful in identifying crucial areas where the current intellectual property framework is challenged. However, the explanation of fair dealing could be supplemented with particular examples or hypothetical scenarios to demonstrate how these laws might be implemented or abused in the entertainment Industry.

Furthermore, when discussing enforcement issues, providing prospective remedies , such as improved digital monitoring , could provide a more balanced viewpoint and deepen the article's analytical depth. 

The inclusion of your poem gives a personal and creative touch to your article, distinguishing it and emphasizing your connection to the subject. Furthermore, precise citations or references would strengthen the research, especially when discussing specific cases, legal provisions, or statistical data. 

In all, Helen Fidel did a fantastic work in this research.
