Nollywood actress Lilian Afegbai, popularly known as Lily Afe, has expressed frustration following her omission from the Best Supporting Actress category at the upcoming Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
Lily, who played the role of Idia in To Kill a Monkey by Kemi Adetiba in a Monday post reacted on X (Formerly Twitter ) shortly after the nominees were unveiled by the host, Chimezie Imo on Sunday.
“I always choose to believe everything happens for a reason. I don’t need a nomination for validation,” she wrote.
The actress, whose performance in the series drew widespread attention, added,
Her exclusion comes despite receiving accolades for her portrayal of Idia, particularly for her use of pidgin English and delivery in the Netflix original.
The Best Supporting Actress category features nominees including Linda Ejiofor (The Herd), Bisola Aiyeola (Gingerrr), Sola Sobowale (The Covenant), Funke Akindele (Behind The Scenes), among others.
