My focus is to promote entertainment in Edo – Obaseki
A Canada-based entrepreneur, Nosa Obaseki, has stated that his major goal as a showbiz enthusiast is to promote entertainment in Edo State.
He told Saturday Beats, “I am based in Canada, but my main focus over the years has been on how to promote the entertainment industry in Edo State, and take it to a bigger level. I regularly promote entertainers from my city. I don’t need to know anybody before promoting their songs, movies or comedy skits. Thankfuly, many people appreciate that support.”Related News
Speaking on the inspiration behind his latest show, ‘Nosa Obaseki and Friends’, he said, “When I told a friend, Mathew Oshodin, who is also the owner of the venue used for the concert, he pitched the idea to me. He reminded me of all my contributions towards making the entertainment industry in Benin grow. He said that since I had been supporting others for many years, it was time for me to be celebrated as well. I liked the idea, and we started planning for it.”
Revealing some of the challenges he faced during the planning and execution of the concert, he stated, “At the beginning, it was smooth. But, a few days to the event, it became difficult. People that I thought would support disappointed me. There was even a time some people started sharing my flyers, telling them that the show had been cancelled. It wasn’t a funny experience, but God showed me the way, and I managed it properly.”
