Omo Ghetto (The Saga) has won its first international award, and the film, which stars famous Nigerian actress Funke Akindele, is expected to break many more records.
In December 2020, the film was released to outstanding box office numbers. The film broke an almost five-year record as Nollywood's highest-grossing film a few weeks after its release.
The 2020 comedy recently scooped Africa’s highest-grossing film of 2020/21 award at the META Cinema Conference in the United Arab Emirates.
“We are super excited about the latest award accolade won by ‘Omo Ghetto: The Saga’, as Africa’s highest-grossing film of 2020/21,” FilmOne wrote on Instagram.
“The award is sponsored by COMSCORE, an international box office data collection company and official data partners of the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN).”
With three nominations, including Best Actress and Achievement in Editing, the film is also one of the most nominated titles at this year's Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA).
