Big Brother Naija alums and cousins, Neo and Venita Akpofure, stole the spotlight at the 10th African Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) Cultural Day held in Lagos on Friday night, May 10.

The duo dazzled in traditional Itsekiri royal attire during the cultural celebration leading up to the 10th AMVCA Main Awards Ceremony scheduled for Saturday, May 11, at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos, Nigeria.

The AMVCA, an annual event hosted by MultiChoice to honor excellence in television and film, has become a cornerstone of African entertainment, showcasing the glitz, glamour, and talent that define the continent’s entertainment industry.

The race for the ‘Best Movie’ category features strong contenders like the blockbuster film ‘A Tribe Of Judah,’ which grossed a staggering N1.3 billion across cinemas in Africa and Europe.

J. Fiery Obasi (‘Mami Wata’), Kayode Kasum (‘Afamefuna’), and Tolu Ajayi (‘Over The Bridge’).

In the highly anticipated ‘Best Lead Actress’ category, contenders such as Segilola Ogidan (‘Over The Bridge’), Lucie Debay (‘Omen’), Omowunmi Dada (‘Asiri Ade’), Ireti Doyle (‘The Origin: Madam Koi Koi’), Adaobi Dibor (‘Blood Vessel’), Evelyne Ily (‘Mami Wata’), Kehinde Bankole (‘Adire’), and Funke Akindele (‘A Tribe Called Judah’) vie for recognition.
