Nollywood star actress, Ruth Kadiri is vehemently angry with the organisers of the Eko Star Film & TV Awards which includes EbonyLife TV boss, Mo Abudu.
Her anger is stemmed on the fact that she was not duly recognised at the award which held on Monday, April 12th, 2021 at the EbonyLife Place, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Ruth Kadiri who expressed her rage towards the Award organisers took to her Instagram page and fumed.
She wrote; “I am a film maker. I am a woman. I am a hardworking woman. I have faced the struggles every woman/filmmaker has faced. Did my name at any point pop up yes. But because I do not belong to a click (sic). Yet again I have been overlooked.“
“I will not be pressured. I will keep working hard. @lagosstategovt @moabudu @ijayonah @nifsummit thanks for overlooking me and congrats to everyone who got recognized. the film industry is controlled by women, so if you’re going to do it, do it right or don’t do it at all.”
For those who don’t know, Eko Star Film & TV Awards is organised by the Nigerian International Film Summit in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture & Tourism and EbonyLife Place to honour talented female pioneers who call the shots in the growing Nigerian film industry.
