[The Film Blog]: And in two paragraphs, Premium Times makes clear the AMAA death spiral

This is how the online newspaper summarizes the weekend’s event, after all said and done: “The event lacked the usual spark and buzz that the award is known for with close watchers describing this year’s event as the most poorly publicised edition yet. “The awards ceremony, which was initially scheduled to hold at the National...

The Film Blog: Maybe AMAA can finally get its act together with this move to Lagos

From inception, the Africa Movie Academy Awards have been plagued with issues.

by Onyeka Nwelue In 2011, in Bayelsa, Jim Iyke and Nse Ikpe Etim went on stage as the hosts of the prestigious Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA). That was some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Mr. James Ikechukwu, who prefers to be called Jim Iyke. On the days that followed the awards night, headlines screamed and bloggers... Read More
