The actor, musician and entrepreneur who is unarguably one of the best entertainers in Nigeria clocks 40 in a matter of days and has decided to celebrate it in a big way by launching his auto-biography in an event that will gather most of his friends, family, colleagues and admirers.
Hailing from Choba in Obio /Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Julius was born on April 7th, 1973 to Chief Augustine Amadi Agwu and Mrs. Mary Agwu. He is the fifth child of his father’s six children. A Theatre Arts graduate from the University of Port Harcourt, Julius has earned accolades mounting podiums in different continents of the world.
With over a decade’s stint in the entertainment industry, Julius has successfully harnessed his skills as an entertainer extraordinaire. ‘His combined success in the movie industry, music and comedy in Nigeria has not been surpassed by any other person till date, so it is only appropriate for him to capture it in a book’, a source close to the comedian said.
In a telephone chat with NET, the funny man told our reporter of his anticipation to get the book launched. ‘The book will capture the journey that I began over a decade ago…all of the paths that I had to go through to get to where I am today and hopefully someone will learn something from my experience.’
Reports have it that the book which is yet to be titled, is being edited by Anthony Kan Onwordi best known as Toni Kan, an award winning poet writer, editor, PR executive, ideas man and teacher.
Julius Agwu is credited as the founder of a genre of music in Nigeria known as ‘musicomedy’ being the first comedian to release a comedy album, ‘Okombo’ in the country in 2000 earning him different awards nominations.
Not only will his book be launched, but the day will afford his guests the privilege to be the first set of people to view clips of his new TV show ‘Jokes Apart’. The TV show is a project that Julius has consistently talked about in the last few years and it premieres on that particular day too.
‘The invitation will be only for a special selection of people and the venue will be revealed to them in due time,’ Julius also said.
Armed with the right sense of humour, excellent delivery and a widely respected fashion sense, Julius has positioned himself as a force to reckon with in Nigeria and Africa at large. Boss of Reellaif Entertainment, he is married to his beautiful wife Ibiere and they both have a wonderful daughter, Zahra.
WOW! GREAT. I WISH HIM THE BEST.
