"HOME TV" Condemns Segregation of South East-Based Artistes in Nigeria's Entertainment Industry
Emmanuel Uchegbu, popularly known as HOME TV, a comic actor and social media content creator from the South East region of Nigeria, has expressed deep concern over the supposed segregation of South East-based artistes, actors, and social media content creators by entertainment firms based in Lagos and Abuja. According to Uchegbu, these firms deliberately deny major actors and influential social media content creators ambassadorial deals, solely because they operate from the South East region. This, he believes, is a copious and deliberate marginalization that goes against the principles of fairness and justice.
Key Takeaways:

- Uchegbu stated that the only reason South East-based artistes are considered is for real estate deals, and that this is highly unfair as it neglects merit and competence.
- He emphasized that the South East region is part and parcel of Nigeria and that equal opportunities, rights, and privileges should be given to all in the industry irrespective of where they operate from.
