Posted by badgeBusayo on 0

The Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA) organizers have faced criticism for consistently overlooking actors such as Yul Edochie, Junior Pope, Destiny Etiko, and others. This controversy arose after the ninth edition of the AMVCA event held at Eko Hotels in Lagos from May 18 to May 20, 2023. A Twitter user with the handle @Ssonofman highlighted how these Nollywood personalities have never been recognized by Multichoice. The user's tweet sparked various reactions, with some attempting to justify the reasons behind the snubs and others supporting the claims. Among the responses, one user mentioned Destiny Etiko's frequent involvement in "Asabawood" movies, implying that she receives recognition when she stars in such productions. Another user pointed out that receiving awards may not be the top priority, as even renowned artists like Nicki Minaj do not hold Grammy awards. The discussion continued with different opinions on Asaba movies and their entertainment value. Some defended the industry, while others expressed skepticism. Another user argued that Destiny Etiko's movies are frequently aired on Africa Magic, suggesting that she deserves recognition. One comment emphasized that making good movies and submitting them for consideration is crucial for gaining recognition, regardless of the genre or location of production. The user also highlighted the need for Asaba movies to evolve and offer more substance beyond predictable storylines.
