About Association of Imo Entertainers

Connecting, empowering, and uniting entertainers across Imo State through professionalism, creativity, and collaboration.

History of AIE

The story of how the Association of Imo Entertainers was born and evolved over the years.

The Association of Imo State Entertainers (AIE) is an umbrella body established to unite entertainment professionals in Imo State. Its membership cuts across musicians, comedians, masters of ceremonies (MCs), actors, actresses, dancers, DJs, event planners, and other creative practitioners.

The association emerged from the need to provide a common platform for entertainers to promote professionalism, protect members' welfare, and speak with one voice on issues affecting the creative industry in Imo State. Over the years, it has worked to foster unity among practitioners while promoting peace, culture, and economic growth through entertainment.

Notable Activities

AIE has been involved in several notable activities, including:

  • Organizing peace walks to advocate for security and the revival of nightlife and entertainment in Imo State.
  • Collaborating with government agencies and private organizations to improve the welfare of entertainers.
  • Encouraging registration and identification of entertainers through membership and identity card initiatives.
  • Promoting cultural festivals, music concerts, comedy shows, and other entertainment events that showcase the talents of Imo indigenes.

The association has also consistently appealed to successive Imo State governments for greater investment in the creative industry, including the establishment of film villages, event centres, and policies that support entertainers.

Today, the Association of Imo State Entertainers continues to serve as one of the leading bodies representing entertainment practitioners in the state, advocating for unity, professional development, and the advancement of Imo's creative economy.
