Thanks a million for whoever made this precious video. We are great fans of James Iroha and his amazing invention "The New Masquerade" . We all love you and miss you James Iroha . You are to us like Clint Eastwood is to eye of the white man. It's so sad to see how our artistes leave the world in perpetual hardship or even grinding poverty in contrast to the western world where they are venerated as great heros with enormous wealth.

Lots of nostalgia about my youth days in Nigeria and me praying for NEPA to bring light so that we get to watch the program or pray that the light didn’t go in the middle of the program.

We obviously have no official social system and the entertainment industry need to help one another make a plan for their future so that this does not keep happening. This is a message to the younger ones to invest in something that can take care of their needs in old age. So many people spend their life's energy doing what they love; to inspire, entertain or help others but at their most needy time, they have no help. May we arise in Nigeria to what we should be.

The only way we can honour James Iroha, and all the cast of Masquerade is to find all the videos of Masquerade and ask NTA to upload them on KZitem or if there are any Nigerians who recorded the programmes and have the video cassettes,should please be persuaded to upload it,KZitem would pay for this uploaded.

When you find all the videos, you will see me in a few of them. I am still alive, Nobody knows me because I occasionally played minor roles. When I die some people will begin to speak so well of me. I weep whenever I remember how my boss James Iroha and I frequently went to his house, ate, drove around Aba to do a few errands, and even sent me with his 504 to go do some errands for me. We flew from old PH airport to Lagos to do some music recordings and lodged at Airport Hotel. What a wonderful and creative brain! One day, I will get old and die. If my boss was not given due medical attention, even after he was given OON, I wonder what will happen to someone like me. I live in fear.

There are legal ramifications behind that. That footage is most likely licensed and KZitem will take it down because of the owner. The proper way to do it is the production company that owns Masquerade footage needs to collaborate with a network like Showmax and negotiate making it available on a streaming service.
