Wow that was a very nice movie “”STRONER THAN PAIN””
Kate & Nkem re the best actors of the year. keep the spirit guys!!!!
u guyz r cool
Why would you call this the african movie awards if you only take your own Nigeria into consideration?There are 52countries in Africa, yet this awards are predominantly nigerian. kenya has also done a lot of movies, so has south africa and tanzania and even Eygpt!
how can we in the east african movie industry apply for the next awards, please let me know.
I have one issue that has been streesing me for so long. I will put it into a question so that I dont talk much. Can some body please tell me. Is AMAA a version of “Nigeria Movie Award”or it’s for Africa africa continet?
I asked this, because winners of various categories are alwyas from Nigeria.
I rest my case.

Emmanuel Macaulay Bayo
I believe Nigerians are really proving to be ‘The Giant of Africa’ in the area of entertainment.We the viewers can testify the fact that most of their movies are highly rated when compared with movies that are made in other African countries.BRAVO!
