NGO plans big for Nigerian kids

By Benjamin Njoku

Multi-talented African American male model, actor and boxing champion, Ngo Okafor is wrapping up plans to storm Nigeria in future to contribute his own quota to the entertainment industry.

Already, he has put in place a mechanism that would culminate in the launch of his NGO, the Ngo Okafor Foundation and the objective of the NGO is to give back to society especially the underprivileged kids in the country.

The star of ‘“Rebound” movie by Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta Jones, is holding discussions on his plan to star in Nollywood movies, in addition to setting up a platform that would groom Nigerian male molds for the international stage.

He is also looking forward to help revive the boxing profession in the country. “I’m very passionate about Nigeria because it’s my home; it’s where I belong. I’m returning home after achieving so much abroad. I am Igbo by descent and want to give back to my people,” said Ngo who should be in the country any time soon.

Ngo is a male model, and two-time Golden Gloves boxer and actor. He started boxing at the late age of 31 years, and within three years he’d won two heavyweight Golden Gloves boxing championships.

As an actor, he has worked on several soap operas, TV shows and films including the block-bluster movie “The Rebound” by Catherine Zeta-Jones.
