Nigerian film actress Zainab Balogun has indirectly shaded her colleague Ruth Kadiri via her Instagram page for calling out the Eko Award Organizers after they refused to give her due recognition.
Ruth who was dissatisfied by the neglect had earlier taken to her page to lament that the organizer of the show overlooked and she will not be pressured but will continue to work hard. She went ahead to congratulate all those who were recognized at the show.
In her words,
“I am a filmmaker. I am a woman. I am a hard-working woman. I have faced the struggles every woman/filmmaker has faced. Did my name at any point pop up yes, but because I do not belong to a click? Yet again, I have been overlooked will not be pressured. I will keep working hard. @lagosstategovt @moabudu @ijayonah @nifsummit thanks for overlooking me and congrats to everyone who got recognized.”
Actress Zainab taking to her Instagram page also wrote;
“Yesterday was emotional. I don’t know how we all didn’t burst into tears I think it’s fair to say we need a monthly summit. God knows I LOVE acting. Absolutely love it with every bone in my body yet being a Nigerian female creative can be SO tiring. I have stories for days!!!! It’s so easy to feel overlooked when you go against the grain. Yesterday I was honored along with a room full of talented women who are simply doing their best and moving the needle effortlessly. Thank you for seeing us! @lagosstategovt @moabudu and @ijayonah As it was perfectly said, our work has just started Congratulations to all the winners #Actress #womeninfilm #ekostarfilmtvawards”
