All is fraud and cheating” — Angry Ijebu calls out AMVCA [Video]
Ijebu, also known as Olatayo Amokade, is a well-known Nollywood actor. He has taken to social media to voice his discontent with the AMVCA organizers, charging them with unfair practices in the award winner selection process.
Ijebu is heard yelling “ojoro,” which is translated to “fraud” in English, in a video that has since gone viral. It appears that she is criticizing the recently finished award event.
Ijebu didn't specifically mention the AMVCA, but he alluded to them by mentioning how Femi Adebayo's films received no credit, meaning that they had been overlooked.
He expressed disappointment that "Ageshinkole," the most recent film by Femi Adebayo, did not get any awards at the event.
Different people in the industry and fans have responded differently to the video.
Some people agreed with Ijebu's accusations of foul play, while others contended that "Ageshinloke," a film starring Femi Adebayo, might not have received enough votes to win an AMVCA prize.
Reacting…
One social media user, Simply Fadekemi wrote;
What about Kunle Remi and Ibrahim Chata that was not even nominated? Too bad”.
Another user, Omoolamubo added;
“U can’t say is Ojoro fully bcos award is not really about personality or being a popular actor is about interpretation of the characters in the particular movie example best actor was given to Tobi where chidi mokeme and other top legendary actors are in the same category (2) same in music everyone knows Tiwa is most popular female musician in Nigeria yet Tems got Grammy before bcos of 1 song ,so bro sometimes let put personal interest aside and see things from the true angle”
Essy Gold, another user commented;
“Did you guys vote your own? Until y’all start uniting and doing things in unity it’ll continue to look like ojoro to y’all. I’m sure some of your Yoruba molly people voted the winner. Ẹnu nìkan ni gbogbo yín ni bìtì ajakara, you don’t support one another“.
On the other hand, a user named Ashabi wrote;
Award should be score by a filmmaker not a film watcher , looking at characters interpretation, flexibility and energy , Ageshinkole is far better than that particular movie Dey compare it with gan”
Responding to the debate, Oritse Kemi added;
“Bro don’t compare Anikulapo to any movie pls no movies stand Anikulapo almost everyone in Nigeria watch it Agesinkule is Yoruba how many Igbo or Hausas hear Yoruba”
The allegations raised by Ijebu have ignited discussions surrounding transparency and fairness in the AMVCA awards, with fans expressing diverse opinions on the matter.
As the current scenario develops, it is unclear whether the AMVCA organizers will respond to the actor from Nollywood’s concerns and take action to guarantee a more inclusive and fair selection procedure in subsequent presentations of the esteemed award ceremony.
