Ngozi Ezeonu Conferred With Ezenwanyi Ndigbo Na Nollywood
The Igbo Film Forum (IFF) Founder
Harris Chuma, said, in a statement, that his organisation had named
notable Nollywood actress Ngozi Ezeonu as recipient of the chieftaincy
title of Ezenwanyi Ndigbo Na Nollywood (Queen mother of practitioners of
Igbo stock in Nollywood).
Chuma noted that the
choice of Ezeonu, who trained as a journalist at the Nigerian Institute
of Journalism (NIJ), was informed by her immense
contributions
in the propagation, promotion and projection of Igbo culture as well as
her dedication to duty,” adding that this will be the second time the
actress would be so honoured.
The first time was in
2011, when she was conferred with the title of ‘Igbo Cultural
Ambassador’ by the ‘Igbo Bu Igbo Cultural Movement World Wide’.
‘‘It took us four years
of critical search and short-listing before the leadership of IFF and
ONN (Ohanaeze Ndigbo Nollywood) settled for the delectable screen
goddess and veteran actress Ngozi Ezeonu,’’ Chuma said.
The actress would be
presented with her staff of office at the forthcoming Igbo Film Festival
scheduled for August 27, at Nelrose Hotel, Asaba, Delta State.
*Congrats to her....
