Ruggedman who happens to be the head of media under the Pretty Okafor led PMAN has penned an open letter to artistes particularly the upcoming one, asking them to register with the body.

He listed the benefits of being a  #pmanbiometriccard holder of the professional body to include:
1. Health insurance you and 4 members of your family

2. Life insurance in case of death, your next of kin gets N5million.

3. For critical health challenge, you will be flown abroad

4. Pension plans for when you are over 65 years & ready to retire you will be getting N100,000.00 monthly

5. It gives you access to Visas. This officially confirms you as a professional creative artist.

6. It gives you access to PMAN legal team. Now you are no more alone when you are in a legal tussle

7. It also gives access to Loans without collateral from N50k-N10m, our partnering bank is available for you.

He also states further the good work Pretty Okafor has been doing since his election.

To curb free downloads Pretty Okafor has brought in a barcoding and encoding company called JS1. Registering with N5000 at any Heritage bank branch automatically opens an account for you and your bio metric ID Card is also your atm card as seen in the attached picture. Before you drop a song you will come register it at PMAN (which is the same as the payment you make when putting your song on iTunes) and they will encode it and give it back to you and you throw it out as normal.


Only this time it has been encoded and the code is synced to your Heritage Bank account. So if u r artist n label owner all proceeds go straight into ur account upon download/streaming from anywhere in the world. People who download with data,automatically pay with data. So it’s the service provider that pays.


If it is a record label and their artist, or producer/song writer it will be documented and payment automatically disbursed into each persons account upon download/stream according to their sharing formular. Each persons percentage goes to their accounts. PMAN gets theirs and the government gets their tax.

Sounds like a good deal don’t you think?
