Below is a list of CELEBRITIES OF EBONYI STATE ORIGIN. The list is in no way, exhaustive and in no particular arrangement. P.S. Instead of littering this thread with hate comments/remarks, I would rather you create one for your state so that we can all celebrate them and have ample information on them (your state celebrities) 1. OSINACHI KALU (SINACH) “I am Osinachi Kalu, the second daughter of seven children. I am from Ebonyi State. I studied Physics at the University of Port Harcout, Rivers State. I discovered I had a talent and I pursued my passion rather than practicing my profession. My objective in the music ministry was to write songs for the church alone. But there was a great demand to make my songs available to other people, hence, the need to launch this new album.” http://www.nigeriafilms.com/news/7009/27/negative-criticisms-put-me-off-sinach.html 14 Likes 3 Shares

7. DIAMOND ADAEZE IGWE Since her early emergence on the movie scene in 2004, the Ebonyi State-born Computer Engineering graduate of Enugu State University of Technology (ESUT) has always been a fantasy to most producers and movie-buffs. “That’s the truth. But I know that I like being the best I could be in anything I’m doing, maybe that is the magic. It’s through that it marvels some people, but in or behind the scene I have nothing but my best which I offer on screen.” Recently, the Nollywood diva, Diamond Adaeze Igwe staged a multi-million naira wedding for her twin brother, Peter Igwe in the bubbling city of Abakiliki, Ebonyi State. The glamorous wedding which remains the talk of the town held at the Shiloh Hall of Widow Care. It also witnessed a huge turn-out following the presence of some Nollywood stars who were the cynosure of guests at the event. According to the Ebonyi-born thespian, “Not that my twin brother doesn’t have what it takes to host such event like that, but personally I told him to keep whatever thing he has that I will fix the bill. And to the glory of God, it held and that doesn’t mean I have arrived or gotten much to lavish. I only saw that as an opportunity to show my twin brother some love. Besides, such event is for lifetime,” she retorted. 4 Likes 1 Share

are you living your purpose on earth? Where would you be now if you died a minute ago? In heaven rejoicing with the saints or in hell tormented with the condemned for eternity? You have just one life to decide where you'll spend eternity, dont lose your soul unto pleasure and sin, accept Jesus today and turn from your sins, repent and be saved. God bless you 4 Likes |
