YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is an example of a young entrepreneur who against every odd decided to say I will succeed in this Nigeria. So, looking back four years, Azuh has done very well. I want him to just keep doing what he’s doing.
Collins Onwochei (Actor & Producer)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is playing its own substantial role in the world of entertainment because as a magazine, it’s not only informative and educative, it’s also entertaining and for me, it’s spreading yearly and of course, adding new values. My wish is that it will continue to grow from strength to strength and even diversify into other areas.
Muiz Banire (Lawyer & Politician)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine has done very well. YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine will make a lot of money and YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine will also serve the public to provide the news that we always desire from them. So, yes, yes, yes. I wish YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine more success to remain relevant and of service to the people while making a lot of money for yourselves as well.
Nneka Moses (Actress & Television Presenter)
From the number of YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine that I’ve read, I will say it’s incisive, entertaining and I think that’s the basic essence of YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine. I wish them more incisive reportage in the future and more success and more reach.
Isaac Moses (TV Presenter and Voice Over Guru)
I’m a little prejudiced because I knew from the very birth of the magazine what it was going to be. Azuh Arinze had demonstrated his capability at Encomium and I know him personally to be a hard working young man of integrity. So, I had no doubt that launching YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine,it would be a great magazine that will go straight to the top and stay at the top and that’s precisely what it has done. I wish YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine to keep growing from strength to strength. There is no stopping you, keep improving.
Onyeka Onwenu (Musician & Actress)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is a lovely magazine. It has come to stay. Like I just told him (Azuh Arinze) now, a child that is four years is old enough to talk. So, YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine will start talking now and I bless God for today. And I wish it long life, prosperity, favour. It has come to stay and it’s gonna be the number one.
Arinze Okonkwo (Actor & Model)
It’s a wonderful concept. Most publishers of magazines never thought about is. The publisher decided to do something unique and I think we have to embrace it and appreciate it. I’ve always been here from the first, and this is the fourth and by God’s grace, we will still be coming. Because it is very educating, inspiring and encouraging for us to learn how to make use of our funds. So, it’s interesting. YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is one magazine I will tell you categorically, without fear or favour, doesn’t believe in blackmail. They do it positively. It’s been predestined to be the best and that’s my wish.
Alariwo (Compere & Musician)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine for me has been doing awesomely well. It’s a magazine that when it started, people were expecting it to do well because of the personality behind it and it has not fallen short on that. It’s a magazine to contend with. My wish is for all the plans that he (Azuh) has for YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine to be well executed.
D-Lectura (Comedian)
It’s a wonderful magazine by a wonderful person, who I knew from way back; from when he was still in school. I’ve seen him grow to a formidable man that he is today, with a formidable establishment and I’m proud of him. And my wish is that YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine will continue to soar and succeed to consolidate.
Emeka Ossai (Actor & Producer)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is wonderful. It has come a long way, weathered the storm and is still serving people with what they want to read and my wish for YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is to get better, stronger and to be announced beyond these shores.
Larry Izamoje (Media Mogul)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is very good. Very credible. I’ve been following it since they started and they have a very consistent editor, who happens to be a brother and like a father to me as well. I really like this programme, because it has a unique and different way of sending message to the audience. This lecture is not what you get everyday. And I pray it continues to prosper. Of course, the essence of having a business is for one to make profit.
Ejiro Okurame (Actress)
I think YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine has succeeded in showing that with sincerity of purpose, with self-belief, with doggedness, you can build a successful brand in Nigeria. And I’m proud of them. The YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine team, in four years, has done quite well, even more than some already established brands. I think it’s kudos to the Nigerian spirit and kudos to self-belief. And I wish them many years of success and many more years of God saying yes to their hopes, dreams and aspirations. If you believe, you can achieve.
Gbenga Adeyinka (Comedian)
One of my best magazines in Nigeria. It’s doing what an entertainment or society magazine is supposed to do and more and I know that we will come back for the tenth anniversary.
Toni Kan (Writer & PR Practitioner)
This is the fourth year. I was here from the beginning and I am here for the fourth year and it’s just been improving from glory to glory. Progress after progress. So, I am so excited and proud to know Azuh Arinze and his team at YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine. YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine has been phenomenal, giving us exciting, fantastic and educative entertainment. Well done, YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine. This is just the beginning. I wish YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine greater heights and all round multiplication for the publisher, his family and staff.
Sammie Okposo (Musician & Producer)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is a serious soft-sell magazine. When I say serious, I mean, of course, you won’t have been expecting them to be doing events like this: “How to be successful in business” You will expect them to do something soft. Business is a serious thing. People who want to make money will want to come and learn how to be successful. For them to organize this event, I think it’s good. One of the problems affecting Nigerians is that we don’t know how to do business and that’s why you see many businesses fail. So, by organizing this, that means they want people to succeed. So, we are really grateful for this and the opportunity to be here. I wish YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine the best. The publisher is a hard working gentleman and his team is quite wonderful and unique.
Prince Ifeanyi Dike (Actor & TV Presenter)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is a brand that has come to stay. The publisher knows his onions when it comes to publishing and I wish them more grace.
Remi Aboderin (Boxing Promoter)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is a great magazine and I wish them more greatness. More blessings.
Apostle Anselm Madubuko (Minister of God)
It’s a great magazine and I wish them the best.
Tunji Olugbodi (Advertising Practitioner)
It’s a publication that has grown in leaps and bounds. We are also very supportive of what they are doing and we hope and trust they will do better than what they are doing now. I wish them the best.
Francis Onwochei (Actor & Producer)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is a media outfit that is contemporary. YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine, at four, is a celebration of success and I wish them more grace and the sky is their beginning point.
Azeezat (Musician)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is one of emerging soft sell media that is doing well and I pray they do better, and soar higher than they can imagine.
Tunde Moshood (Journalist)
First of all, I will like to say congratulations to Azuh Arinze. Anything that he is involved with is always the best. He knows what he is doing. YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is one that we like to go for at any time because what you get is confirmed stories and that’s one of the things that makes it stand out. I wish them more fruitful years ahead.
Michael Sunday (I.T Practitioner)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is clearly the best. If not the best, there is no way I will be here. I love what they do and if there is anything better than the best, that’s my wish for them.
Saint Obi (Actor & Producer)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is a representation of one man’s attitude towards life. One man saying that it is possible for this to happen and he goes ahead to ensure that it happens. YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine for me represents the youth, it represents what the entertainment circle refers to as the upcoming. It represents people who said that we are here and all things are possible. And I wish that all things work together for their good.
D.J Gosporella (Entertainer)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine has become a phenomenon and the growth is phenomenal as well and I’m not surprised because the brain behind it is a phenomenal person. He is a focused guy. The magazine is focused on anything that has to do with journalism. And I wish them a higher height.
Dayo Asaju (Journalist)
I think the first thing that gets to me about YES INTERNATIONAL! is the dream; having seen the dream come alive in the area of seeing an older brother that is consistent in what he set out to do irrespective of the hurdles and challenges we face. He could have stayed back in his comfort zone, but he refused to. YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine has become a yardstick, a reference point for other people to succeed in what they do as well. The consistency in doing what they are doing over the past four years is no mean feat; it’s not a joke. I wish YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine will reach four decades.
Uche Nnaji (City Clothier)
I think I like to call him (Azuh) the youngest publisher in the world. Azuh Arinze has done very well. I think at four, the paper is getting stronger and better and it will be the biggest in the world very soon.
Zeb Ejiro (Movie Producer & Director)
It’s a good magazine that has come to add value to publishing. I wish YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine more years of good writing and reportage.
Mudi Enajemo (Fashion Designer)
Yes! as the name implies is one of the best magazines in the country and it’s published by one of the best journalists in the country. I wish them 20, 40, 50 years. Even when we are gone, YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine will continue to exist.
Ralph Nwadike (Movie Producer & Director)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is onye ahu na ewi ewi (the one that is reigning).
Bisi Olatilo (Broadcaster)
Usually when I talk about YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine, I cannot remove the man, Azuh Arinze from the picture because of his energy, commitment and vision with which he brought this about. And it’s always tough. I’m not very keen about tabloids, but I follow YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine often; though not as often as I should follow my friend’s magazine. Azuh is my friend, though we had a big quarrel many years ago. It’s settled now, so don’t think that it’s still lingering. The sky is the limit, the top the best. For a man with Azuh’s character, intellect and push, vision, I know YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is going to be great. From the beginning, I knew it will be great. Azuh promised that. I think it’s an emerging media experience in Nigeria and moving quite fast and is trying to interpret the essence of media in Nigeria and a great knowledge to us about the fact that we must get it right. We must not play with the force of information. In their own case, they manage it well in such a way that they don’t misuse the power of the media and I’ve come to know the way they manage and disseminate information to public and the way they also help to celebrate the beauty of our country, Nigeria. I wish them success in their endeavor.
Fred Amata (Actor, Producer & Director)
YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine has come a long way. It’s not easy to do a magazine. Publishing has the highest mortality rate of any establishment. So, for it to have survived till now is very, very tasking. We are happy that YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine has lasted for four years and we wish them many more years.
Kunle Bakare (Journalist)
Yes, I am a family member. So, I can tell you that I’m so proud of my brother and friend. I’m proud of his achievements, his tenacity, his spirit and I pray God to continue to strengthen him to continue to do the best and be the best in providing accurate entertainment, educative information to Nigerians and the world at large.
Jennifer Eliogu (Actress & Singer)
I think it’s a journey that is worth celebrating. I’ve known the Editor in Chief of YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine for almost all my career and I will be 10 years on stage this year. So, you can tell that we’ve come a long way. YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine is a media outfit that has really supported many entertainers, so I think celebrating its fourth anniversary is worth everything. I pray that God will help them to celebrate many more successful years. Longevity in business in Nigeria is a problem, so it will be my joy to be invited to an event organized by YES! even when I’m 80 and I will say (in old man’s voice) it feels good to be invited to this occasion.
