Whos' Who in Entertainment

Frank Ikegwuonu the founder of Urbanmingles Entertainment Media Group and the Centre for Business to Business Registrar and Logistics has got a brand new venture.

“Who's Who in Nigeria Entertainment” is an exciting new book and data base which is a compendium of biographies of all the major players in “Nollywood”. It is billed to be a bold step towards showcasing achievements, trends and life styles of “Who's Who” in the Nigerian Entertainment Industry.

It has been said that Nigeria has the third largest movie industry in the world and if supported and financed properly Nollywood would rival GSM in revenue and job creation!

The project has been endorsed by major players in the Nigerian Arts and Entertainment Industries, including the National Council for Arts & Culture, Movie Production Managers of Nigeria, Directors Guild of Nigeria, Association of Movie Producers, Actors Guild of Nigeria, and Creative Designers Guild of Nigeria.

Konnections brings you a sneak preview of some of your favourite home grown stars:

NNAJI, Genevieve : born in 1979, from Mbaise LGA, Imo State. Genevieve was raised in Lagos, Nigeria by her engineer father and house wife mother. She was educated at Methodist Girls College Yaba and the Creative Arts Department of the University of Lagos. Her career encompasses chart-topping records and a high-profile advertising career. She is considered a Nollywood screen icon recognized throughout the world, but has also been the subject of controversy surrounding her conceited manners. Some of her spectacular roles can be seen in “Power of Love”, “Beloved”, “Fugitive” and “The Butterfly” (which earned her the Best Actress in 2003). Above all Genevieve's modelling roles and recognition within the African continent, has earned her the Face of Lux in their Soap commercial.
