Nollywood Shine in London


The 12th Afro-Hollywood Movie Awards held in London have gone but the memories will continue to linger in the hearts of our Nollywood stars who were warmly received during the award.Apart from being the cynosure of all eyes on their arrival at the London Heathrow Airport,they were highly distinguished during the award ceremony as they bagged most of the awards for excellence.

They were lodged in a very comfortable and spacious apartment throughout their stay.Grace Amah and Funke Akindele were the cooks of the house,having catered for their colleagues’s welfare and the talented and award-winning movie producer,Yomi Fabiyi also acted as the house coordinator,having travelled to the place just to cheer his colleagues who had been nominated for various awards.

The high point of the event was when organisers of the award introduced Fabiyi and requested for a standing ovation in honour of the dude among the thousands of guests.They saluted his courage and good conscience to have come to cheer his colleagues despite omiting his name in the award-winners’ list.They also hailed him for a recent script conference and critique session he organised for his upcoming movie,Pajawiri.

The organisers of the Afro-Hollywood Award also showered encomiums on the Nigerian stars for emerging as the best in Africa and for striving to move up from the third best position which they currently occupy in the world.Some of the stars who were honoured with awards at the event include Clem Ohameze Fred Aseruma,Iyabo Ojo,Ayo Badmus,Funke Akindele,Emem Isong,Grace Amah,Remi Surutu and Aisha Ibrahim (Omoge Campus)among others.

Fabiyi on arrival in the country with some of his colleagues said:“I am happy that although I was not nominated for any award,I got a special recognition which clearly shows that someday,I will bag the Afro-Hollywood Award.”He also bagged an excellence award at the third SOCOM award held in Lagos while he was away in London.
