Nigeria’s screen diva Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and the
nation’s king of comedy, Ali Baba will be honoured at the Prestigious African
Achievers Awards, AAA, which is scheduled to hold in Johannesburg, South
Africa on July 25, 2015.
Confirming the decision to honour the two prominent
entertainers, the AAA through its Principal partner, Rex Idaminabo said the duo
of Omotala and Ali Baba was most qualified due to their outstanding
contribution to the transformation of the entertainment industry in Nigeria and
in Africa.
According to Rex, ‘’while Omotala’s zeal and consistency
created the needed breakthrough for Nollywood to thrive, Ali Baba took the
comedy business to a different level in the country. Both Omotola and Ali Baba
created a path for others to follow.
They showed other artists the desired paths, and today,
entertainment has become one of the main industries in Nigeria and in Africa
that pays more people than any other industry. ‘’
