Drenched in sweat from an energy-sapping rehearsal at a Lagos dance studio, Rita Adoh hopes to make a fortune from dancing and catapult herself into the growing ranks of Nigeria's millionaires. I have property and I have helped my parents financially to put up their residential building in Lagos," the 26-year-old told AFP. But it is a reflection of an increased interest in the performance arts in Nigeria and a sign that the country is getting serious about its entertainment industry. Nigeria is investing heavily in developing the sector, recognising that a more professional approach could make it more internationally successful, providing jobs and -- hopefully -- prosperity for those that work in it.
