Emmanuel Ikubese: Quietly climbing the proverbial ladder of success

While many of his ilk are still grouping in the dark figuring out what to do with their talent skill and potential, young and very upwardly- mobile Emmanuel Ikubese, has already hit the ground running, ever since he sauntered into our consciousness as the winner of Mr. Nigeria contest in 2014.

Here is one man, who would not allow his fledgling fame and stardom to distract him from making a meaning in the lives of others and affecting a positive change in the fibre of a seemingly dwindling psyche of his fellow beings. Forget his striking, irresistible and charming sex appeal, coupled with his screen playing role as a play boy, striking poses for the cameras or taking a dive break from work, one thing is certain about this chap: he is evidently focused and has charted a potent cause for himself outside the world of glamour which his Mr. Nigeria status has foisted on him.

But, Emma is quietly climbing the proverbial ladder of success with his acting prowess, but that is not the story here. This handsome Emma is a rare breed in the area of charity and philanthropy, even at his relatively young age. Very unassuming, attractive and admirable Emmanuel Ikubese, who doubles as a model and actor aside being former Mr. Nigeria and first runner up of Mr. world, has over time headed a campaign against violence on women, with his pet project aptly titled 'Respect a Woman, Raw.

The fast emerging Nollywood actor describe s himself at every opportunity he has as a philanthropic person whose many ambitions are able supported by his ‘go-better’ attitude just as he uncompromisingly aspires to use his accompanying success in the make believe-world and showbiz to jump start his own NGO foundation for orphans and abandoned kids, a project very dear to his heart.

Emma, for your information has already started using his parsonage and meagre funds to push the campaign to university campuses to push the campaign and fight against domestic violence on women, from one neighbourhood to another and simultaneously taking the campaign to all university campuses and tertiary institutions across the nations, with the global approach in view as time goes on. What else can one say about this chap born in Lagos over two decades ago as the first born of a family of three, Emma is a proud ambassador of Brandy Almondia, and also the face of Vans Kere, the traditional Kaftan's bourgeoisie brand. As an actor he has featured in many Nollywood movies viz MTV BaseTV series, ‘Shuga’, ‘Block out’, Mo’Abudu's ‘Fifty’ and others too many to mention but aside his Thespian vocation and top ambassadorial branding endorsement, dynamic Emma also likes to play soccer and basketball, relishes cooking with a passion and also plays the Konga drums dexterously, even as he fastidiously looks forward to becoming in the very near future the greatest entertainer to come out of Africa, all at no determent to his charity table pet project that he has sworn to pursue vigorously and  rigidly. That is the Hallmark of an ambitious young man who knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it.
