I will be partnering a television station, and we are also starting the Island version and a celebrity corner, because it is basically female oriented. We will be inviting a whole lot of female celebrities from all branches of showbizness, from the pageant to fashion and to Nollywood and music.
The aim is to highlight positive contributions by these unique women. We will also invite men. Aside from that we are starting a small entertainment spot at the mainland which I will throw open soon. I also have a couple of projects and I’m warming up for collaboration with an International female artiste, first of its kind taking place in Africa. I am shooting the video of Oko Mi Yee for the first time featuring seasoned actor Norbert Young and Ngozi Nwosu of The Fuji House Of Commotion.
The Queen of Samba music is also said to be eyeing the highest office in the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) although she had in the past denied being a politician.
