PRESIDENT of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Mr. Segun Arinze has released a provisional list of 20 top actors from Nollywood, who will trade tackles with the top stars of Nigerian music industry at the main bowl of the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, Lagos on Saturday, September 3 in the much talked about football extravaganza.
The Football Match of the Stars, as it has been dubbed, is slated to start the grand activities for the burial of the music icon, Christy Essien-Igbokwe MFR, who died on June 30 in Lagos.
Flying the flag of Nollywood, in the battle for the Godswill Akpabio trophy, will be former AGN President, Ejike Asiegbu; 'A' list actors, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Fred Amata, Ramsey Nouah, Nonso Diobi, Desmond Elliot, Yemi Blaq and Basorge Tariah Jr. Also on the list are Charles Abazie, Rykardo Agbor, Femi Ogedengbe, Emeka Enyiocha, Charles Inojie, Ejike Metuselah, Frank Dallas, Famous Otakponwen and Don Pedro Obaseki.
Segun Arinze will captain the team while the team manager is Abubakar Yakubu.
The musicians whose team list is still being expected have chosen toaster and dance hall crooner, Baba Dee to lead them to victory. Reliable information indicates that the teams have started, strategizing, plotting and secretly practicing.
Each team is planning to outdo the other with a dazzling cheer leading ensemble. Vivacious singer, Yinka Davies who is orchestrating the set and costuming of the cheerleading assembly for the music stars has promised that there will be a lot of "hot legs" and that the ensemble will be "sexy"
However, silver screen princess, Stella Damasus, coordinating the other cheer leading team and assembling the beautiful damsels of Nollywood for the show down is not talking, full stop. Someone close to her has however said that she has been laughing at the boast of Yinka Davies wondering where Yinka will find the hot legs and sexy chicks.
