Lol, thank God you answered yourself.
BEFFTA means Black Entertainment Film, Fashion and Arts.
Ouch@ temisy…that was painful…I felt it myself…lol
Omotola dear, i hope u realize that its a BEFFTA not BAFTA awards, cos ur awfully exicted. BEFFTA is not a serious award in London so stop tripping.
Oh my goodness, what in the world are u talking about? what award have u won fro yourself and yet you are trying to bring someone down,, u should be ashamed for such statement.
