The theatre and entertainment industry which arguably went comatose in Delta State for several years with many of the State born-acts relocating to Lagos as well as other major Nigerian Cities, came to live Sunday December 10 when a Warri based entertainment firm, The Youngstar Production organized its movies’ launch and award night at Kanewood Hotel, Ekpan in Uvwie Local Government Area, Delta State.
The movies launched are: ‘The Journey of Saraphina and Warri Focus’, two of five movies produced in 2017 by the Chief Executive Officer of Youngstar Production, Mr. Oguori Emmanuel.
The colourful event which attracted Nollywood stars and theatre icons outside Delta State was anchored by MC Watch Your Screen (Iwawe Ese) Ace Stand-Up-Comedian and Lagos based Warri Boy, MC Casino. MC Casino whose parentage cuts across Edo and Delta, thrilled the audience with rib-cracking jokes. DJ Rocky P (Stephen Ohikuare) of Rize FM Warri, equally set the audience into ecstasy when he entertained with two of his hit songs, ‘Oluwa is involved’ and ‘shout out’.
There was also electrifying performance by Warri based duo, Fridde and EL6ix. They thrilled the audience with three of their songs, Makeway’, ‘Chikabena’ and ‘Rize FM’.
