All too soon, the AfricaMagic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) has finally arrived. In less than 24 hours, deserving winners would be announced. Looking at it, the award is here to stay for good.

It’s another opportunity for movie makers, doers and shakers of the African cinema to converge at one venue in Lagos, the heart of African movies to celebrate their achievements over the past few years.

African Cinema has come a long way and needs to be celebrated in grand style and this is what is going to be done tomorrow, March 9 at the Eko Suites Hotels.

GhanaCelebrities.Com has been selected to cover this year’s awards and yesterday, a representative touched down at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) in Nigeria with other Ghanaian celebrities to be part of the awards ceremony.

We will therefore bring you all the excitement from Lagos…Stick with us for all the exclusive reports, interviews and photos (You know how we go in for it all…).

The atmosphere at the airport yesterday as aircrafts that conveyed reps from other African countries touched down was exceptional. Celebrities and nominees had a tough time at the airport as onlookers [and some officials at the airport] try to steal every opportunity to snap photos with the Africa movie stars.

AMVCA nominee  in the ‘Best Actress in a Drama’ category-Jackie Appiah who was in a company of her manager Samira Yakubu, actor and movie producer, Roger Quartey and Majid Michel had a tough time getting through the crowd at the airport.

As the actress stepped out to take photos after photos with the teeming fans, the look on her face was that of someone who was probably thinking of how best to beat off the challenge of her other nominees in the category which will be keenly contested between Bubu Mazibuko, Nolwazi Shange and Nollywood’s heavyweights Genevieve Nnaji and Funke Akindele.

Still at the airport, I asked if she was confident that she would win. She sighed, waited a while and murmured with a smile. She said “Ebenezer, it’s going to be tough”.

With two nominations in the ‘Best Sound Editor’ category, rapper E.L. appeared very sober at the airport as most of the people didn’t really know who he was. Just like Jackie Appiah, E.L. might be wondering how he can possibly go back to Ghana with one of the two awards from the movies ‘Perfect Picture’ and ‘A Sting In A Tale’.

The smile on the faces of other nominees and invited guests of AMVCA shows their readiness and high expectation for the maiden edition of the awards.

Over 26 categories to be awarded to both on-the-screen and behind-the-screen professionals on Saturday and Africa can’t wait for this great day.

The AfricaMagic Viewers’ Choice Awards will be screened LIVE to over 50 countries on the African continent, on DStv starting at 19:00 CAT with an exciting, live, one-hour red carpet pre-show to be hosted by Denrele Edun, Helen Paul, Uti Nwachukwu, Dolapo Oni and Eku Edewor (53 Extra), Lawrence Maleka (StarGist) plus Nic Wang’ondu and Sarah Hassan (Mashariki Mix).

CHRIS BROWN: So This Is The Sort Of Person We Spent $1M On & Still Defending? Check Out What He Has Been Up To Since He Left Ghana

Chris Brown

Undoubtedly, Chris Brown is one of the best performers in the world but then, his attitude STINKS.

It is because of his irresponsible behaviour that big corporations with standings do not associate their brands with him both in Europe and America…

However, trust Ghanaians and Ghana based companies to disregard his morals and his irresponsible behaviour and pay him huge money to come down to their country and openly break the law-something he is good at doing.

And then instead of those who brought him down disassociating themselves from his actions or apologising to Ghanaians for the harm done, they call every one of us STUPID by saying, he did not act such inappropriately-because he is not the kind of guy?

GhanaCelebrities.Com thought after the BIG mistake Vodafone Ghana made with Amber Rose, other Ghanaian companies would become more concern about the sort of entertainer they associate their brands with.

As I stated earlier on, “I will not go out there and buy a lion (even if I can afford it) because I will be strictly liable for the injuries (offenses) it would cause. It is not always about affordability, it is about how you can supervise/control the actions of what you’ve got money to purchase!

Immediately Chris Brown left Ghana, check out what he has been out to (below)…And you want us to believe this dude actually cared about the laws of Ghana and his actions were not as we saw?

Chris Brown allegedly threw his bodyguard off a plane.

The controversial R&B star abandoned his long-time bodyguard known as Big Pat in Bermuda after a pit stop on the Caribbean island on Wednesday after they apparently got into a fight on board.

An airport worker explained to The Bermuda Sun newspaper: ‘I’m not sure of the details of what happened on the plane but his plane came in, got services and everything was finishing and they were getting ready to leave.
‘Then there was a stall. The security guard [Big Pat] got off first. He was standing outside talking to the pilot. Then Chris Brown and another guy came off. They had to come inside to Customs.

‘They then went outside to have a cigarette. The security guard came inside [an airport building] and said he wasn’t getting back on the plane.’
The bodyguard told the staff member he had an ‘altercation’ with Chris. Big Pat was forced to take a Jet Blue commercial flight to New York City’s JFK Airport after the furious Don’t Wake Me Up singer jetted off in his private plane.

The 23-year-old singer was travelling back from his gig at the Accra Sports Stadium in Ghana, West Africa on Tuesday.

Big Pat has stuck by Chris through his previous temper tantrums and even took a glass bottle to the head during the star’s club brawl with love rival Drake last June.
