The much anticipated 8th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards was such a big and memorable event for the entertainment industry in Nigeria.
The 8th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards ceremony, which was held on Sunday night, honored some of the finest in the African film industry.
The event, often referred to as Africa’s most prestigious film award ceremony, was held at Eko Hotel and Suites, with media presenter Ik Osakioduwa and South African celebrity Bonang Matheba serving as hosts.
After a two-year hiatus, the AMVCA made a big comeback, featuring brilliant musical performances from Yemi Alade, Dbanj, the top 12 Nigerian Idols contestants, and the collaboration everyone cannot stop talking about, Labaja x Rema.
