Saidi Balogun, Iyabo Ojo, Chinedu Ikedieze, Hilda Dokubo at the Africa Movie Academy Awards, AMAA 2017




Nollywood stars took the center stage last night, 15th of July as they glamorously graced the 13th edition of the African Movie Academy Award which took place at Eko Hotel & Suites.
Actors such as Saidi Balogun, Sambasa Nzeribe, Iyabo Ojo, Somkele Idhalama, Nkem Owoh, Hilda Dokubo and many others attended the 13th edition of AMAA and to them, this is just an amazing platform for Africans to come together and of course be appreciated under an umbrella.
In a chat with Hilda Dokubo, Sambasa Nzeribe and some other actors, they appreciated the founder of AMAA, Peace Anyiam for her consistency and persistence in not just starting AMAA, but having the courage to continue for 13 years.
Speaking of the growth of Nollywood, Hilda Dokubo stated that she is glad at the rate at which the industry has grown from the way it was when she was actively involved, hoping that it will continue to get better by the day.
While it was surprising to many that Nollywood did not bag any major award, some actors like Enyinna Nwigwe believe the award show was a fair win win.
