Despite the 2018 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award which held yesterday being a fun night of playing dress-up, a few people went home smiling while they clutched their awards with the grip of a winner. While a few expressed disbelief and genuine surprise, it was Lilian Afegbai’s emotional speech that left us in tears. These actors, producers, directors, cinematographers, et cetera, work hard at their vocation to ensure they dish out quality movie content, and to be awarded for their efforts is one of the greatest gifts they could ever be given. See the full list of winners below.
