The AMVCA Controversy: Why People Came for Uche

At the 10th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), Chioma Akpotha was named Best Actress, but she was absent from the event, reportedly due to being in the United States. Uche Jombo, who attended, did not go up to receive the award on her behalf — and trust online in-laws, they didn’t take it lightly.

According to several reactions online, some fans felt Uche should have stepped in to accept it. Omo, social media no dey waste time. The dragging came hot and fast.

Putting the gbas gbos to rest, Uche Jombo later posted a video on Instagram — showing the exact moment she personally flew to the U.S. to hand over the trophy. And not just anyhow — she flew first class, as she cheekily announced:

“This award would have been so amazing if Uche had gone on stage and collected it for Chioma Chukwuma… Hello, I flew it, first class.”

“Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, my mama in heaven… Mama, I finally made it,” she said tearfully.

She also described her journey in Nollywood as one filled with highs and lows, but guided by passion and perseverance:

“It’s been a long journey, a journey of ups and downs. But through it all, I stayed true to my craft. That’s why today I am able to hold this award to the glory of God and to the shame of the devil.”
