M-NET HOSTS NOLLYWOOD AS IT LAUNCHES JARA

Earlier this year, M-Net's Africa Magic channel started the broadcast of it's first original production, Jara. Jara is an half-hour program, which gives viewers an inside look at Nollywood. It is hosted by Uti Nwachukwu (BBA All Stars winner) and Helen Paul (baby voiced commedienne). It is already proving to be a must-watch program for many families. On February 27, 2011, M-Net officially launched Jara at an event held at Genesis Deluxe Cinema. Guests at the launch included Desmond Elliot, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Monalisa Chinda, Omoni Oboli, Chris Attoh, Victor Olaotan, Joseph Benjamin, Damilola Adegbite, Paul Obazele, and many more.

Entertainment was provided on the night by a host of entertainers at the glitzy event. Comedians Koffi and Owen Gee were on hand to treat the guests to rib-cracking jokes, while Casey (winner of Glo Naija Sings), Mo' Cheddah (hip-hop artiste) and Bez (neo-soul singer) provided musical entertainment to an appreciative and delighted audience. M-Net also took the opportunity to celebrate the first year anniversary of its movie channels Africa Magic Yoruba and Africa Magic Hausa.
