Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi, is celebrating her triple nomination at the 2023 African Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA).
The AMVCA is an annual event that honors outstanding achievements in African film and television. It released its nomination list on Sunday, and Toyin Abraham was nominated in three categories.
The actress expressed her excitement on Twitter, sharing that this is the first time a movie produced by her has been nominated for the prestigious award. Her movie, Ijakumo, received nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Picture Editor, and Best Sound Editor.
Toyin Abraham thanked God for the recognition and emphasized the importance of hard work.
She wrote, “This is the first time a movie produced by me, my movie, will be nominated for the AMVCA award and we got 3 nominations!? I just want to say that whatever you do just keep working hard. It will surely pay off.”

This is a significant achievement for Toyin Abraham, who was previously snubbed by the AMVCA despite being crowned the highest-grossing actress in 2021.
At the time, she produced the movie, The Ghost and The Tout Too, which performed exceptionally well at the box office and became the highest-grossing movie of that year. However, the movie failed to make it to the 2021 AMVCA edition.
Toyin Abraham’s triple nomination at the 2023 AMVCA is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and talent in the Nigerian film industry. The award ceremony is set to take place in Lagos, Nigeria, and will showcase the best of African film and television.
