CITY PEOPLE HONOURS EMEM ISONG!

It was a night to remember as Nollywood gathered to celebrate with their 'Big Sister' in the industry as she celebrates 15 years as a writer/producer in the business! I have never seen so much Star power in one room as several A list stars like Stella Damasus, Desmond Elliot, Uche Jombo, Ini Edo, Stephanie Okereke, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Monalisa Chinda, Zik Zulu Okafor,Julius Agwu and many from the corporate world came to felicitate, rejoice and celebrate with an Icon that has given so much and done so much in the industry, Nollywood. But then, such is the clout and influence that Emem wields and many came up to reminisce and talk about their first experience working with her. Several  attested that it was she that gave them their first break in movies or made their first commercially successful film through her.  For the first time we heard celebrities tell how they had it rough and tough climbing the rungs in the industry, with her. Many lauded the fact that she was one of the few that always portrayed women as strong in her movies and applauded that she had created alot of opportunities for them in the industry. The event was put together by entertainment and lifestyle magazine, City People led by the magnanimous and unassuming Publisher, Mr Seye Kehinde  and one has to commend the organisation for doing this.  Often times people see the stars not the star-makers, so it is good once in a while to celebrate someone that has been such an inspiration to many.  Enjoy pix from the event!   .                                                . thanks to delenollywooduncut
