Nigerians, on Twitter, have been reacting after Osas Ighodaro was winner of the Best Actress in a Drama category at the AMVCA 2023 for her role in ‘Man of God.’
The actress won the award over the likes of Bimbo Ademoye “Anikulapo,” Enado Odigie “Flawsome,” Immaculata Oko Kasum “Ile Owo,” Ini Dima-Okojie “Flawsome,” Ini Edo “Shanty Town,” Nimo Loveline “The Planters Plantation,” Nse Ikpe-Etim “Shanty Town,” Queen Nwokoye “Strained,” and Scarlet Gomez “Wura.”
Veteran actress Nse Ikpe-Etim reacted to the announcement by dropping a laughing emoji.
Nse’s comment to Osas winning the plaque has elicited a lot of reactions on social media.
A tweep @Rapzyrita1 who is clearly unhappy with Osas winning the award tweeted: “What just happened at the AMVCA? More like a broad day light robbery taking an award that rightfully belongs to Nse Etim and giving it to Osas Ighodaro as Best Actress in a drama!! This is INEC move.”

Ogbeni Bambam said: “E reach to Laugh 😂”
Labia_Master on his part said: “Most of you forget that the award is about voting, Bimbo and Nse Etim may act better but Osas fans voted rigorously. Anything above vote anything can happen 👌”
@Princess_Anita while also dropping her comment, wrote: “I was confused at first, thought it’s for best dressed or most beautiful. But all the same, it’s viewers choice and anyone who could gather more vote wins.”
Another tweep, thic_didi tweeted: “Let’s even say they used votes. Ini Edo and Bimbo are more out there with a “base” and definitely had more votes so what are they saying? They’ve brought Grammy style to AMVCA. Osas for Man of God how???”
“Osas is an absolute sweetheart, but she has got absolutely nothing on Nse and Bimbo! And I can swear wit d last 200naira wey dey my actc say if AMVCAs show us d votes, there is no way she had more votes dn ds two!!! Simple!” @@MustaphaAyinla4 wrote.
“Ini edo was there, Nse-Ekpe Etim and even Bimbo but multi choice gave Osas that didn’t act anything this year#AMVCA9,” @_Tomisi wrote on Twitter.

Obajemujnr_ also wrote: “Let’s be honest, if Osas has any conscience in her, she should waybill the award to the real owner tomorrow morning.”
danielholkss also spared a thought on the development, writing: “I swear I’m just angry all over again Wait o, do they know who Nse Ikpe-Etim is I have not seen the movie but I’m going to put my life on bet that Osas cannot win over Nse Ikpe-Etim, Ini Edo or Scarlet Gomez It is NOT POSSIBLE QUOTE ME ANYWHERE!”
