Ghanaian star actress, Jackie Appiah is certainly having a good year. She recently followed her African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) nod for best actress in a lead role with the City People Entertainment Award for best Actress in Ghana. The award which celebrates movies, music and comedy was held on July 18 at the 10 Degrees Event Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.
Jackie who was nominated against the likes of Nadia Buari, Lydia Forson, Naa Ashorkor Mensah- Doku and Yvonne Nelson, says she didn’t expect to win the award because she felt after winning the AMAA nod she wasn’t going to win again. She is however excited by the honour and she believes the other nominees were equally good. “I am happy and proud that people have sat down to appreciate my work. This is the second award in the year; I give glory to God. I was competing with very good actresses, they are all equally good and so I felt that was a very tough category to win. I respect all of them because they are all good actresses, individually”.
