Sultry Nollywood actress Faithia Balogun last week snagged the award for the Lead Actress in a Film at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards, which held in New York, US on September 4, 2016.
Faithia beat other actresses such as Omoni Oboli, Adesua Etomi, Genevieve Nnaji, Nse Ikpe-Etim and Belinda Effah to win the award after her completely-immersing role in the movie titled Ishanna.
Ishanna was released in 2015 and it featured other top Nollywood actors including Muyiwa Ademola, Kenny George, Babatunde Usman and Morenikeji Alausa to mention a few.
“I am honoured to have this recognition bestowed on me at this level,” said Balogun.
“We put a lot of effort into the project, and everyone is deserving of this award.”
