of Day-Light online newspaper, Azuh Amatus described them as prominent
contributors of what the showbiz industry has become since its
kick-off. "The Igbo region is currently referred to as the
entertainment capital of Nigeria. However, the success recorded in the
Nigerian entertainment industry today was highly contributed by Igbo
citizens; the industry wouldn't have been complete without their
immense contributions, giant strides and commitment. This is one of
the reasons this book should be commended.
"In all spheres of human endeavours, they have touched the nation and
those of them in the entertainment industry should be lauded and
appreciated, therefore I strongly believe that this book represents
what they have done and will continue to do for Igbo tribe and Nigeria
in general," he noted.
