It was a night of fun, glamour and glitz as one of Nigeria’s top screen divas, veteran actress and songstress, the ever smiling Clarion Nneka Oluwatoyin Folashade Chukwurah was hosted to a night of tributes by the prestigious Prince of Anthony Hotel, a member of 1960 Group, in the suburb of Anthony Village, Lagos on Saturday April 5.
The actress, who started out as a keenly interested teenager in October 1979, has featured in over 85 movies, winning several awards of excellence.
Since her debut in the movie industry, the mother of two has remained a scandal free actress, a role model to many upcoming actors and also lover to many fans.
In the word of Gbemi Sijuwade, General Manager of Prince of Anthony, “the Hotel 1960 Group thought it fit to honour Clarion Chukwurah because she has carved a niche for herself in the industry, and it is only worthwhile for us to celebrate her.
“We look forward to celebrating more stars in the nearest future”.
She went further to say that, “Clarion is very admirable and she has passion for her job.
“She is a towering figure in the industry and an icon to reckon with. As part of the hotel’s tribute to her for over 30 years of hard work, the management will have her portrait placed in the hotel’s hall of fame”.
Some of Chukwurah’s colleagues in the industry, Nollywood actors and actresses and personal friends, were in attendance to pay tributes to her.
They also gave accolades to the organisers of the event, for deeming it necessary to pay tribute to the ace actress and songstress.
Among those present at the event was Jibola Dabo, a long standing friend and professional colleague.
He described Chukwurah as a very good friend and colleague of over 10 years.
He said: “Clarion is a colleague and personal friend for over 10 years now, I feel really good and appreciate the organisers of this event; she really needs to be celebrated.
