    They need to work on their communications. They nominated my film and I didn’t even get an invite to attend the event. Sent DM and emails, they will read and never reply. Gosh 🤮🤮🤮

    Thanks to Best of Nollywood for selecting my movie in the festival. I am happy that "Secrets" the movie won award in the category of Best Child Actress which goes to Amarachi Onwe. Thanks for the opportunity given to my team to submit our work. But we are yet to get the award for Amarachi Onwe since we couldn't attend due to some circumstances beyond our control.

    POOR COMMUNICATION

    We had a notification of making it to the finalist. We called the organiser and sent several messages, email, sms. yet no respond till date about logistics and update on how it went.

    I believe BON is a large brand and has to improve on this aspect

    My film was nominated but I didn't get an invite to the award ceremony despite reaching out to the organizers on different occasions. What an award!
