Genius' Agwu is set to release an
auto-biography which will be
unveiled on his 40th birthday on
April 7, 2013.
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.
