Nollywood actress Lilian Afegbai has criticised the organisers of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards for snubbing her in the 2026 nominations.
Recall that the organisers recently announced the nominees for the 12th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, with Bimbo Akintola, who starred alongside Lilian Afegbai in ‘To Kill A Monkey’, securing a nomination for Best Lead Actress.
In response, Lilian Afegbai criticised the organisers for snubbing her, insisting that her character, Idia, was the most talked-about role in the hit series ‘To Kill A Monkey’.
She, however, stated that she is not particularly concerned about external validation, adding that the organisers can “eat” their award.
Taking to her X handle, Lilian Afegbai wrote, “AMVCA smh. I always choose to believe everything happens for a reason.”
“I don’t need a nomination for validation. The truth is clear: Nobody trended like Idia from TKAM last year. Her acting was 100. You guys can eat your award.”
