PROF.NKEM ALU CELEBRATES

 

Happy Birthday to a Nollywood Icon: Professor Nkem Alu

By RT.Hon.Dir.Sunday Olisemeka dgn








Today, we celebrate not just a birthday, but the life, legacy, and light of one of Nollywood’s most respected pillars — Professor Nkem Alu. A screenwriter, seasoned actor, professional filmmaker, and esteemed lecturer at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), Prof. Nkem has become a household name in the Nigerian film industry through consistency, humility, and excellence.

From his early days as a writer and continuity personnel, to becoming one of the most decorated directors and producers in Nollywood, Prof. Nkem’s journey is a masterclass in dedication and grace. His early directorial work, Divided Attention, captured hearts and laid the foundation for what would become a legendary career. Today, even as he celebrates his birthday, he is on set filming the highly anticipated and emotionally charged movie, Throes of a Widow — a testament to his unrelenting passion for storytelling.

Fondly called “Nkem per se” by those who know and love him, he is more than just a filmmaker — he is a symbol of peace, humility, and truth. It is rare to find someone with his stature who remains so approachable, respectful, and free of drama in an industry often marked by egos and conflicts. You will never find Prof. Nkem involved in quarrels; instead, you’ll find him quietly mentoring the next generation of storytellers with wisdom and patience.

Among those he has mentored are rising Nollywood forces like Hon. Sunday Olisemeka DGN, Mercy Akayak DGN,  Arinze Nnam etc — all of whom have continued to carry the torch of cinematic excellence. As a top-ranking member of the Directors Guild of Nigeria (DGN), Prof. Nkem Alu has contributed immensely to shaping the creative and ethical landscape of Nollywood.

As he adds another year today, we join family, friends, colleagues, students, and admirers across the world in saying: Happy Birthday, Professor Nkem Alu! May your days continue to shine with the grace, creativity, and peace you radiate. Nollywood is proud of you. Nigeria is proud of you. The world celebrates you.

Keep inspiring. Keep creating. Keep soaring.

RT. HON. DIR. SUNDAY OLISEMEKA, DGN (A.K.A. SIR O, VAL SUNNY OLISEMEKA)

Early Life and Education

Rt. Hon. Dir. Sunday Olisemeka, widely known as Sir O or Val Sunny Olisemeka, was born on February 14, 1988, in Amata Ezinesi Oduma, Aninri, Enugu State, Nigeria. His birth on Valentine’s Day inspired his internationally recognized name, Val Sunny Olisemeka, which has become a respected brand in entertainment, media, and politics.




He attended Community Primary School, Ezinesi Oduma (1993–1998) and later gained admission into Ezinesi High School, Nanwu Ezinesi Oduma (now Oduma Special Science School) through a Federal Government national scholarship scheme. He served as Senior Prefect for three years, making history as the school’s second-ever Senior Prefect and a pioneer leader.

After graduating in 2004, he tragically lost his mother, Mary Ani Augustine, his only surviving parent after the death of his father, Augustine Aniukpai, in 1997. Despite these hardships, his intelligence earned him the nickname "Professor" among his peers.

Religious Devotion and Community Leadership

From a young age, Sunny was dedicated to Catholic Church activities. He was recognized as one of the most brilliant Mass Servers at St. Anthony Parish, Oduma. His leadership also extended to community service, where he co-founded "Igba Akwuna Eche Enyi" with Anthony Anytime, Ikechukwu Orji, Sylvester Otugo, Cletus Egbo, and Deus.

Higher Education and Challenges

Sunny gained admission to UNILAG to study Mathematics and Computer Science, but financial constraints following General Sani Abacha’s death led to the discontinuation of his full scholarship, forcing him to drop out. Undeterred, he enrolled at NOUN in 2007, graduating in 2013 with a Second-Class Upper in Physics and Computer Science.

Currently, he is in his final year at NOUN, pursuing a degree in Film Productions and Designs, and is also enrolled in a Master’s program in Film Animation Designs at UNN (University of Nigeria, Nsukka).

Cinemedia Film Academy and Rise in Nollywood

In 2010, Sunny founded Cinemedia Film Academy, which has trained numerous Nollywood stars. He officially joined Nollywood on August 18, 2004, but gained prominence in 2009 after releasing his Afro Hip-Hop album, "Tachie Osa", featuring Flavour N’abania, Lord Cornel, and Waga G.

His directorial excellence was recognized when he won the "Best Nollywood Film Director" award from 2019 to 2022, conferred by Nollywood Government. In 2016, he was inducted into the Directors Guild of Nigeria (DGN).

As a versatile actor and film producer, Sunny has numerous movie credits to his name, further solidifying his influence in the Nigerian film industry.

Media Empire and International Recognition

That same year, he hosted the largest international award of excellence, attracting attendees from the UK, USA, Canada, India, China, Ghana, Cameroon, and other nations at Nike Lake Resort, Enugu. A major highlight was the Best Breakthrough Actor award, which came with a ₦2 million cash prize and a Ford Explorer SUV, won by Elvis Ogbonna.

Political Career and Leadership Roles

A dedicated politician, blogger, journalist, and community policing consultant, Sunny has won the seat of Local Government Councillor twice and is currently the Majority Leader of the Aninri Legislative Council (11th Assembly), representing Ezinesi Oduma Ward 3.

During his first tenure, he sponsored three impactful bills, and in just three months into his second tenure, he has already sponsored three more progressive bills.

Additionally, he is the first Secretary of the Aninri Lands and Development Commission, overseeing land administration and development planning in the region.

Community Policing and Security Involvement

On August 6, 2023, Sunny was appointed Chairman of the Police Community Relations Committee (Youth and Creative Wing), Enugu Chapter. In this role, he works closely with security agencies, youth groups, and creative industry professionals to enhance community safety and engagement.
