Before the Coronavirus pandemic forced the world into quarantine and lockdown, MC Chaz, a Nigerian-born American based Master of Ceremonies born Chiazo Ogbuh was enjoying a boom in his career.
Chaz, who turned 35 years this year, recently reminisced about his adventure in the world of entertainment and declared, “I believe I was born to host events.”
MC Chaz said: “Not to toot my horn but, if you were to count the best 20 African MC’s in the diaspora, I’ll be one. When I set out, I knew one day my turn would arrive and it would last a very long time. I have hosted almost 500 weddings in the last 10 years. It’s been an amazing journey.”
As businesses are coming out of the carnage of coronavirus, and the global economy begins to gather pace, he spoke of his plans for 2020. “I started a matchmaking program and it’s been amazing; I plan to focus on it and grow it stronger and bigger,” he confirmed.
Chaz who migrated to the United States 15 years ago, gave a candid opinion on the Black Lives Matter movement that has taken over America. “Black lives should matter,” he said, “and others need to stop treating us like we are second-class citizens.”

He pointed out ways by which the Nigeria government can help make the country friendlier to the entertainment business.
“The government needs to hire more young people, both men and women, to help shape the direction and focus of the country,” he said.
“Government needs to believe in entertainment and realize how much money can be generated. Importantly, it would be nice to see the government support artists.”
