The Sun News Online interviewed Sir John Odike, the managing director of Africana First Publishers, an educational publisher in Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria:
Book piracy is a monster that must be crushed. It is a hydra-headed
evil that should be eliminated. You see, pirates produce inferior
quality books, sell at cheap prices to undo us. This is the
most potent threat to the publishing industries today. Which
ever way you look at it, piracy threatens our existence
if it is allowed to continue unchecked.
I now use this medium to call on Nigeria Copyright Commission
to re-strategize so that this cankerworm does not cripple
genuine publishing business.
