SPECIAL EDITION: MEET ALEX EKUBO

The Entertainment Industry has grown from what it used to be to a multi-billion Naira Industry where people get fed and live very comfortable lives due to their talents. Nollywood is not left out in this amazing industry transformation, as it has gone beyond the use of tomatoes or zobo as Blood nor us seeing Ghost wearing "AirMax", to a more serious and organised sector where our actors now Rub shoulders with the International community and our cultural values are also being promoted through out the world...among those causing this revolution is one very talented and hardworking young man, Mr Alex Ekubo

Sir Alex Ekubo is a role model to a lot of people,teenagers inclusive using what we can say are attributes or characteristic of Alex we would outline 5 key points about him to teach our Teens......... Starting up we talk about hardwork and determination. Alex Ekubo at such short period of time has climbed to a height in the industry which only hardwork and determination could have gotten him thus far and his still on the journey to higher heights and has been recognised countless times for his effort in the industry with awards from 2012-2014.

Secondly we look at branding or in lame mans language packaging, Alex is no stranger when it comes to branding himself and ensuring his brand is well built, from his acting skills to him making appearances, he's always leaving a statement making his type hard to find.

Moving on we talk about following your dreams as an entrepreneur, so someone trying to make it in any field challenges could emerge great. It is however important to be focused, follow your dreams and keep the vision alive, as Alex always has and always will. Right from his university days till now he knew where he was going and what he wanted to be in life.

Fourthly little/humble beginnings. A lot of us are not where we want to be yet, but then we should strive, putting in our best and carry out our duties until we reach that that desired point. Also to our young entrepreneur and future billionaires,most big things start small and who would have thought that Alex Ekubo the young man then hosting events on campus would turn out to be a Global icon of today.

Finally those who know Alex Ekubo know that he always tells people that where he is today and wherever his going to be was made possible through God almighty which leads us to the final point which is being God fearing.
