Really nice and Congrats to all the winners! They have worked hard and deserve it!!
On another note…the picture with Chris Attohs girlfriend, should have been looked at again, i can see her butt!!…
I concur…boo, when you wear such a short dress, legs shouldn’t be crossed. Again, the decor could be better but A for effort. Concerning Uti….really?

Chris Attoh has a girlfriend?? damn I’m heartbroken
seriously…uti best actor .. this ppl have got jokes..warrahell
Warrahell? haahaa heeehee hoohooo haahaa, now that’s a first! cant stop laughing. warrahell(aka what the hell)! how did u come up with that?
J’adore Genevieve and Nadia <3
1st off, these lace fronts need to go!!!
yeah Uti won best actor…hahahahahaha!!!!
these Ghanaians are simply using the likes of genevieve and uti to bring popularity to their awards, its pretty obvious.
they know big names like genny (and possibly Uti for winning BBA) will attract attention, and thats their main goal.
because Uti winning “best actor” LOL!!!
Oh yes….lets not forget.
GENEVIEVE LOOKS FAB.
i love John Dumelo…sooo hottt..too bad he is taken…..i hear he is dating some half nigerian/ghanaian girl….my friend met her at an exhibition in Lagos
Genny looks fierce
Chris Attoh’s gf’s butt cheeks are showing…smh!. Gosh!
oh lawd….that Andrea chics butt is out…as in OUT! eh ya…poor girl….n Uti forreal???dont see why he should be in this award.
Hoollyy Bellanaija please do the girl in the last picture a favor and remove the picture, way too graphic.
I really like Genevieve’s dress though.
Mmm, Bella don’t hear hey, they run….so now now they have yanked off Chris Attoh’s GF graphic picture
As for Uti winning the awards its just as hilarious as 4play earning any actor an award.
Genevieve neva fails! I so love her ☺
o wow..see how Gen snatched all those babes weaves and took ‘em to the barber’s…babe looks too good and i’m not even a Genevieve fan.
uti??? cerioussly…
OOOOOOOhhhh why did you yank off Chris Attoh’s girlfriend’s pic? I’m missing out on the action nowwwwwww!
Really happy for them, the show did not look tacky at all but as for the awards and the red carpet, like really though?? Uti won for Best Actor, isn’t that a funny joke!
Also, how’re 4 women supposed to share one award, and their acting was not even that good to begin with.
Plus what’s with all these pictures with guests
Gene, as usual, looks hot. Love Nadia’s dress and Jackie Appiah looks cute.
It was a very good attempt, me likey!
the picture with ‘nadia and guests’ is actually her with her family. mum, sister, and i think those two are her brothers.
when will genie ever hit the style rock or make the wat wa u thinkn list again?shes shines every moment she has too n leaves her look memorable n too die4. the metallic gown rocks the casbar n she looks effortlessly elegant.is she naijaz carrie bradshaw?
uti ke? why r this people disgracing their fathers….? awards have been taken out of context……….
genevieve ,God bless u,can i have ur dress?

Gen looks goood
But the event looks like it wasnt dat great.
Genevieve looked very good!
Dumelo u rock
If the pictures are an indication of how the show went,then these guys seriously have a long way to go!smh
naidia looks beautiful as usual. so does genevieve
why did kalsum sinare pump up herself?in d pix jackie appiah with guests,i don’t like her present looks
I think Genevieve looks tackyy..plus that hair :s Anyways i await all you STANS’attack *rme*
Genevieve’s make up is way toooo much! she looks hotter when her make up is barely there! Ghanaians and their dressing tire me, seriously!
I love John Dumelo and Jackie Appiah, they are very talented.Nadia and Genevive have very lovely dress sense,as for Uti winning, i have not seen the film, but he did quite interprete his role, however brief in Tinsel very well.
Gene’s dress and make up and all is on point. She is class personified.
Genny always delivers… Nadia luks good too… In general des Ghanians re poor dressers goush…
I LOVE JOHN DUMELA HE’S SO CUTE
vicky zugah and yvonne okoro; they look nice.

The guests in the pix with Nadia Buari are her mom and siblings. BN, Pls ensure pictures posted are rightly identified for readers.
I can’t beleive Van vicker is not in the winners list

uti??????? seriously???? OMG!! i cant even summon enough laughter in me at the ridiculosness of it.
Genny forver, i tell u. the guy has perfected glam in every way. as for Nadia, i woild have liked to see her face……. she needs some style tips from our very own babes here……..naija for life… haha ha

But still follow ur heart 4get fame and wat people will say. Happiness and comfort counts in a successful relationship.
this Ghana movie awards, na wa o- I don’t understand how 4 actresses can share one award. Neither do I understand why they nominated so many people for the same categories- for example, 7 actors were nominated for best actor in a leading role! Anyway, well done Ghana!
Africa is blessed with all these beautiful queens….Genevives looks like a goddess. thumps up for your gud work
genevieve rocks,nadia is also an ok person
john dumelo is ma man any time,i rily love ur acting

Once again its ama k. Abebrese, please what is she wearing? Gene looked great as always, didn’t like the eyeshadow color she used though. Yvonne Okoro looked smashng!!
Gene,u nerver seize to carry the first and for what God has began in ur life, shall never be queach, and bcos of that i wish u more firsties in life.Amen.And for all ye winners carry on and never ye slummber or be over surroundeed with proud and pompus remember proud goes before a fall.BUT surprise! something is missing where is Van Vicker? he’s a great actor, thank u all.
Nadia Buari est belle femme mais elle n’est pas physiquement belle c’est a dire qu’elle a des gros bras et des jambes pas feminines. Elle a juste l’avantage d’avoir la peau metisée, sinon elle a un beau visage et un beau sourire..
hey charley nadia johnny jackie nikki vicky u guys r just smthin else. CCHHAAOOSS
i lov jackie ,john dumelo,nandi .d sky is ur startin point.

I am so in love with jenny. its no wonder every man wants to act with her. it would be good to be close to dat beauty for sometime and appreciate the wonderful work of nature. Same goes to jackie appiah. I never miss her films. she is a delight to watch. John is my best actor. He is soooo talented and handsome too. More grease people. the sky is your limit.
