Foster, a U.S. citizen, who had featured in numerous television reality shows as a panelist, told NAN that the upsurge in the fortunes of most of the nation’s celebrities was quite remarkable.

“Today, Julius Agu is holding shows at the Muson Centre and now, they are all international stars.
“Even `P’ Square, I was there in the beginning when I was playing their songs and they were just on the radio, just having fun.
“And then all of a sudden, everything just blew up. I was there when Genevieve and Stella Damasus were helping me with a script on “Face of a Liar,’’ doing a Nigerian movie.
“And now, these people are humungous now in the industry. They are very famous and they are very rich and they are into their gifts,’’Foster said.
The presenter added that humble beginnings were usually a pre-requisite to success and stardom. (NAN)
