Egwu Africa (Icon Version) Bob Ejike

Описание: Bob Ejike — Nigerian-born Artist, Pioneer, and Culture Ambassador
Bob Ejike is a Nigerian-born, UK-based writer, artist, broadcaster, musician, actor, and film pioneer — often recognised as one of the original architects of Nigeria’s home-video cinema that evolved into Nollywood.
Born in Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria, Ejike showed creative talent from an early age, writing poetry and short stories as a child and becoming one of the youngest columnists in Drum Magazine, where he shared pages with future literary stars like Ben Okri.
He later studied English and Literature at the University of Port Harcourt, and cut his teeth in radio drama and television scriptwriting in the 1970s before moving into full-length film.
💥 In 1982, Ejike wrote and produced Echoes of Wrath — a home-video film that predated and helped launch what became known as Nollywood, earning a National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFEST) Award and introducing actors like Richard Mofe-Damijo to national audiences.
Over his career, Bob Ejike has been a multi-genre creative force — working as:
• Actor, producer, director, and editor in film and television
• Musician and songwriter, with a catalog spanning dozens of recordings available internationally
• TV presenter (notably on NTA’s Tropical Rhythms)
• Columnist and author
Beyond Nigeria he has lived, taught, and promoted African arts in Europe and East Africa. In Uganda he established the Professor Bob Ejike Foundation for Performing Arts (PROBE), building recording studios and helping develop local film and music communities.
Ejike’s work spans continents and mediums, and he is widely regarded as a cultural bridge between African and global artistic expression — a true polymath whose early innovations helped shape the worldwide reach of African cinema.
