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.
