Dear Nollywood, the pride of African is surely making a global
impact, which is a huge plus for Nigeria’s battered
image abroad.
Some leading names in the movie and music terrains from Akwa
Ibom State are already in the US, as you peruse this, for
the 21st annual convention of the State, holding in Washington
DC.
Leading, the team are the duo of Emem Isong and Ini Edo.
Others on the trip include: Princess Anne Inyang, Moses Armstrong,
Obey Etuk, Ini Ikpe, Darlene Benson, Fred Essien, and Asuquo
Cobhams, the wave-making blind music producer.
Despite making the trip, most of these stars are alleged not
to be happy, according to an insider, their state government,
who ordinarily should sponsor the trip, has totally abandoned
them to their fate. “First and Foremost, we are going
to the US to fly the flag of Akwa-Ibom State, before that
of Nigeria”, said a member of the delegation, before
jetting out.
