Two of the top Nollywood actresses, Ini Edo and Queen Nwokoye are representing Nigeria in the competition for the highly coveted Best Actress In A Leading Role at the 11th Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) tonight at the Boardwalk International Convention Centre, Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth in South Africa.
It is the first AMAA outside Nigeria and has attracted more attention than the previous editions hosted by Bayelsa State in the state capital of Yenagoa since the inaugural edition in May 2005, except for the 2008 edition of AMAA held in Abuja, federal capital of Nigeria and the 2012 edition held in Lagos.

Ini Edo and Queen Nwokoye are up against Joselyn Dumas of Ghana, Lesliana Pereira of Angola and Aida Wang of Burkina Faso.
I pray for either of them to bring the award home to Nigeria.

Nigeria lost to Angola as the AMAA for the Best Actress in a Leading Role went to Lesliana Pereira for her outstanding performance in "Njinga: Queen of Angola". But veteran Nollywood diva Hilda Dokubo won Best Actress in a Supporting Role: Hilda Dokubo for her "Oscar performance" as Ibiso in Dagogo Diminas' melodramatic HIV/AIDS film "STIGMA".

Lesliana Massoxi Amaro Gomes Pereira, simply known as Lesliana Pereira, is a model, TV presenter, actress and beauty queen. She was born on born October 9, 1985 in Soyo, Zaire. And was crowned Miss Angola in 2008 and represented the country at the Miss Universe 2008. “Njinga - Queen Of Angola” is her debut.

“Njinga - Queen Of Angola” directed by Sérgio Graciano, is based on Queen Anna Nzinga, also known as Ana de Sousa Nzinga Mbande, a 17th-century queen (muchino a muhatu) of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms of the Mbundu people in Angola. The historical film chronicles her journey as an Amazon; woman without fear, who, for 40 years, defended the independence of the Ndongo and Matamba kingdoms.
Njinga Mbande, born in 1582, became famous for the courage and ability to unite different peoples in the struggle against Portuguese invaders. Its actual title in the language quimbundo - “ngola” - was the name used by the Portuguese to name that region, Angola. UNESCO has recognized her as one of the 25 most important female figures in African history,

“Njinga - Queen Of Angola” is the biggest Angolan film so far
