Nigerians on social media have reacted differently after actress, Ruth Kadiri called out the organizers of the Eko film and TV awards for overlooking her and not finding her worthy of the award.
According to Ruth in a post on her Instagram page, she is very hardworking and she has faced lots of struggles as a filmmaker but she has never benefitted at any point because she does not belong to a clique in the entertainment world.
This she said is the reason why she was overlooked and not included among the awardees of the Eko star film and Tv awards.
In her words;
“I am a filmmaker. I am a woman. I am a hard-working woman. I have faced the struggles every woman/filmmaker has faced. Did my name at any point pop up yes, but because I do not belong to a click? Yet again, I have been overlooked will not be pressured. I will keep working hard. @lagosstategovt @moabudu @ijayonah @nifsummit thanks for overlooking me and congrats to everyone who got recognized.”
