Fast rising Nigerian actress, Monica Friday, has slammed her colleague, Zubby Michael, for allegedly labelling organisers of the just concluded Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards tribalists.
Michael had taken to his Instagram handle: @zubbymichael, on Tuesday to express his reservations on the AMVCA7, stressing that some important personalities were not recognised as expected.
He wrote: “Something are unchangeable, example, can you change your biological father? That award was joke and highly political ‘ndi ala ndi ala’; we know we know the meaning of Viewers’ Choice.
“I’m sure most of the organisers are Yoruba, they did not even recognise the pillars of Nollywood, and the original owner of Living in Bondage was not mentioned.
“But new Living in Bondage got eight awards; our dead heroes like Sam Loco and others were not mentioned. Award without people that made Mama G, Aki and Paw Paw, Pete Edochie Kanayo O. Kanayo.“
Friday, who took a swipe at Michael, expressed her disappointment over his comments.
She wrote on her Instagram handle: @monicafriday: “By the way, the awards no get manual. You can go and have a meeting with the board.
“Where have we gotten to sef with this tribalism mentality?”
Friday also commended her colleagues who were nominated for the award, describing them as stars.
She wrote: “Dear Actors, You are a star with or without an award to your existence.
“And do not forget to appreciate Nominees and winners.”
