Orzobeat Media rolls out plans for King and Queen of the House Reality TV Show


An international entertainment and event management outfit Orzobeat Media has rolled out plans for King and Queen of the House Reality TV Show (KQ HOUSE SHOW), which is expected to change the face of reality TV in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

The show is expected to produce ambassadors of positive virtues in Nigeria and Africa as whole, according to the project director Mr. Lambart Nnorom Jr.

Mr. Nnorom who was speaking for Orzobeat Media, said beauty pageants and reality TV have been taken over by mediocre; people who cash out on the increasing immorality in the society, adding that things are about to change.

“The notion behind beauty pageantry has almost gone moribund and totally defeated. Boys and Girls have taken it as one of the cheapest ways to run for their immorality cum pimping businesses.  

“We no longer have beauty Queens with brain and the desired aim for its promotion, which is to work on a Pet Project and standing tall as Models against ill societal influences. Mediocre and Girls of easy virtue are the ones wearing the crown for various Beauty Pageant Organizations”

He stated that nothing will be left in the hands of destroyers, adding that King and Queen of the House Reality TV Show has come to the rescue.

Explaining the concept of King and Queen of the House Reality TV Show, Mr. Nnorom said, it is a pageant for 30 contestants vying for two crowns for the King and Queen.

“It is a pageant cum reality TV show, where viewers will enjoy every single thing till the winners emerge”, he said.
He further stated that they will be taking strict measures to ensures the best of beauty and brain are admitted to the house.“Panel of Judges shall interview entrants on areas of Job creation, anti-corruption strategies and sociopolitical progress of the society. It is expected that the good – looking intelligentsia will finally  emerge, who shall become ambassadors of societal values in order to curb youthful unrest, community clashes, Child trafficking, cultism, Drug abuse etc” Mr. Lambert Nnorom Jr. said.

On how prepared Orzobeat Media is to carry out the task of organizing a reality TV show as KQ HOUSE SHOW that will be resounding beyond Nigeria, Mr. Nnorom said that everything has been put down as they are supposed to be, adding that there has been some structural implementations, strategic partnerships and other things needed are being sorted out ahead of 2021 when the event is expected to come alive.

“We understand every strength and weakness that is on ground at the moment, and with our strategy being to make things better while promoting African culture and values, we’re working towards being stronger than the strongest and not being as weak as their weakness”

Pete Edochie, Nkem Owoh, Chiwetalu Agu, Genevieve Nnaji, Patience Ozokwu, Others Storm Owerri As Vitalis Ndubuisi marks 60th birthday, 26 years in Nollywood
Nollywood veteran Chief Vitalis Ndubuisi will on Saturday, April 1, 2017 celebrate a milestone of 60th birthday and 26 years in the movie industry.

The event which will be taking place at the famous Bongo Center Owerri, Imo State will be a convergence of Nollywood legends like Pete Edochie, Nkem Owoh, Chiwetalu Agu, Genevieve Nnaji, Kenneth Okonkwo, Patience Ozokwu amongst others.

Speaking at Bongo Center Owerri after a function on March 30, 2017, the actor who is dubbed as Igwe 1 of Nollywood, said he feels great to be marking the milestone and will prefer to be celebrated while alive than dead.

“People are usually celebrated when they die, I don’t want to wait till I die before I will be celebrated, I want to do it while I am alive”, the actor whose simple way of life has earned him the title of Mr. Humility and Simplicity among friends and colleagues in the industry said.

Speaking further, he said that the only place he retired from was the civil service as a broadcaster and there will be nothing like retirement in the movie industry for him.

“One thing with getting old is that every face you see looks like one you already know. When you’re getting old, you begin to see things from a different dimension; you’ll have to compare what is now and what was then. Nollywood has changed over the years in terms of quantity and quality; and a lot of new blood are into it which is very good. The advancement in technology is also affecting the industry” he said.

Revered for his grey hair in the industry, the multiple award winning actor also admitted that the stories in the movie industry has changed adding that it is just like the music industry where well composed songs don’t sell. Although he refused to call them ‘nonsense’, he said that the use of technology and well trained young hands have made great impact in the industry and also play a huge role in what gets out to the public at the end of the day.

Alongside appearances by Nollywood stars and other celebrities, there will also be performances by artistes, dancers and comedians to spice up the event which will be kicking off by 6:00PM at Bongo Center Owerri, Imo State.

  It was a moment of celebration, and more, a double one for sensational music act, Kelly Hansome and fast-rising media practitioner cum media director of Pot of Africa, Eze Chijioke when the duo marked their birthdays with the launching of an EP titled ‘4Play’ at Industry Nite. 
The event was held at the usual spot, Spice Route in Victoria Island, where guests were welcomed to the black carpet by members of the media and a cocktail bar which served just the right mix to set you in the mood for 4Play.

Celebrity guests in attendance were 2Face Idibia, Marvelous Benji, AngryOwerriMan, Now Muzik CEO, Efe Omoregbe, H’Code and fast rising singers, Ckay of Chocolate City, and Acetune.

Kelly Hansome thrilled fans to a scintillating medley of songs off his newly released EP, such as Money Palava, featuring Oritse Femi, Investment, Ichezu and others. He later took his fans on a nostalgic ride of his classics like Like Play, Like Play, Maga Don Pay and more. Just when fans thought they had seen it all, they got a surprise performance from music legend, 2Face, who joined Kelly Hansome on stage with veteran singer Morachi.
