The Film Blog: On Nigerian awards, we have to agree with Mildred Okwo

Of course, as far as the AMVCAs are concerned, we think they have had more than enough time to figure things out. Or at least to figure out how not to nominate terrible films. But, besides that, nothing left to add.

The Film Blog: Mildred Okwo plots her next move

After wowing audiences with her first film The Meeting (actually, her first film was 30 Days, but so few people got to see it, and even fewer are aware of his existence,) Nollywood director and producer Mildred Okwo returned with another comedy, Surulere.
