AMAA reveal real reason why Genevieve Nnaji was dropped from Nominations

The AMAA awards held last night in Port Harcourt, Rivers State to a lot of pomp and pageantry.

With these awards there have been some stalwarts over the years who usually about and around the awards, one of these stalwarts, Genevieve Nnaji was conspicuously missing this year.

Many have wondered why, but the reason has finally been revealed.

According to Naij, the AMAA did not nominate Genevieve for any category because she did not meet the requirements for nomination.

The veteran whose movie, Road to Yesterday should have been considered for the AMAA awards, missed out because she didn’t comply with the registration processes at AMAA.

Acoording to Naij, a source from the AMAA who pled for anonymity said, “You see, there are several stages to AMAA. We often reach out to potential nominees asking them to fill out forms, submit and comply with a few other steps which aid our selection processes among other things. 

Genevieve’s non-adherence to our instructions and failure to submit the required responses to AMAA even after she was reached several times led to her exclusion from the nominees list.

It’s simple. There couldn’t have been a consideration for her role in the movie Road To Yesterday because she didn’t comply with basic instructions.”

The source explained the great pains gone through to reach the actress with no success.

“All we wanted was for her team to send in details about the movie, the video link, the DVD preview copy of the movie Road To Yesterday and a few other details but they never responded. They eventually did after the nominees list came out.”

The actress’ camp did respond but by this time it was too late and the nominations were out.

“At AMAA, we keep everything professional and we have certain standards that must be adhered to. Her team responded Monday, May 16 and it was already late which is why Genevieve Nnaji didn’t make the AMAA 2016 nominations.” said the source.
