It was a great day for Nollywood and all enterprising youths of Africa as President Obama invited the Nollywood First Actor, Kenneth Okonkwo, for an inspiring tour at the White House on the 3rd of April, 2016 at 3:15pm American time.
Reacting to the tour, kenneth Okonkwo said it was an awesome experience and also a humbling one. He attributed the tour and the invitation extended to him by the US President as an Act of God. It took God’s grace to facilitate this tour.
Being priviledged to be conducted round the Oval Office and the White House is an experience of a life time. I thank President Obama, who is following in the footsteps of President Thomas Jefferson in opening the White House for public scrutiny. In his letter to me, the President wrote “Your visit today helps to fulfill my goal of creating the most open and accessible administration in American history”. I intend to write a more detailed article on how this tour has fortified my belief that Nigeria like America shall overcome.
