President of
the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), her Excellency Ibinabo Fiberesima was
honored yesterday by city people entertainment awards. This is in recognition
for her huge role in upgrading the image of the Nigerian motion picture
industry, popularly called nollywood and her impact in leadership and her provision of welfare packages for not just her members but nollywood
practitioners as a whole.
In her thank
you speech she said “This is proof that hard work pays. To be in the creative
industry is quite difficult” she went further to solicit for unity amongst
all actors. “Whether you are a Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo or English actor let us all love each other, let
us continue to look after each other, we are not a political party so going to
the press and running us down everyday will not take us anywhere, I am here to
serve and will continue to do so”.
She also thanked the President of the
federal republic of Nigeria, His Excellency President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
for his contribution to the AGN benevolence fund and encouraged other well
meaning Nigerians to do same as they have lots of members that need help.
Shockingly she thanked actor Emeka Rollas who was at one time her ark rival in
the race for the AGN president.
