JOURNEY INTO ENTERTAINMENT…

The Beginning

Donald Ndubuisi Onwuemene is from Onicha-Ugbo, Aniocha North, Delta State, Nigeria. Born in the early 80s, he has four siblings… three brothers and a sister. Popularly referred to as the “Clown” of the family, his earlier days were marked with entertainment traits, ranging from singing, dancing and making comedy to entertain his family. His eventual involvement with the entertainment industry came as no surprise to his family who were already aware of his passion.

Donald attended schools in Lagos, Niger and Edo States respectively; beginning his Primary school in Lagos; Secondary school in Suleja, Niger State and eventually rounding up at Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, where he studied accountancy. Whilst in school, he delved into Modeling and Event Hosting (M.C.), meeting popular comedians like I-Go-Dye, I-Go-Save and Biggest Ben along his path.

       

                              

After graduating with his Diploma in Accountancy, he did not go further to enroll for his Higher Diploma because the lure of the Entertainment Industry was too strong to resist. He eventually succumbed to his passion and took up a job as a Radio and Television Presenter with Babiefaze Entertainment in Asaba Delta State. The company was owned by Samantha Adesua Esangbedo. Donald presented a show called Demix – a one hour musical/ interview programme on Delta Broadcasting Service, Asaba. He also presented the MTN Yello half-hour, on Delta Radio from 2005-2006.

                          

                                         

After my brief stint at Presenting and Modeling, I decided to expand my horizons and delve into the movie industry. With a resolve borne from determination and passion, I relocated to Lagos to commence an acting career…

…Thus, my romance with Nollywood/ Nigerian Movie Industry begun in earnest.
