In the past, awards are given on merit to
individuals who have exceled in their various fields of endeavors, these days
the case is becoming different. This is because people pay money, and get
involved in numerous things that will not be mentioned here to get these recognitions.
Going by the information reaching Julia Blaise Blog (JBB), Nollywood actors are fighting over
awards. Actors nominated for awards that required voting from their fans and
movie freaks are said to be threatening each other to stop campaigning for the
awards. In the struggle to win through voting from their friends, the actors
are said to be locked in fierce battle over who will get the biggest votes and
eventually become the winner.
JBB learnt that they are sending threatening
messages through letters and phone calls urging each other to stop campaigning.
One of the actors said that a letter was sent to his Enugu residence, advising
him to reduce his fierce campaign or better still stop talking about the awards
and quit telling people to vote for him.
He equally informed that he received phone calls
from a girl who told him to stop campaigning for votes, as her boyfriend who
she called a more popular actor is equally nominated in the same category.
“I feel everybody should do their thing and leave
others alone. They said I should remove the pictures on my Blackberry display
picture, I don’t know the reason for that. They said I am campaigning too much
and that I should forget about the awards.”
