Social media users are divided after Big Brother Naija’s former housemate Venita Akpofure emerged as the winner of the Best Female Dressed category at the just concluded AMVCA Cultural Day.
Kemi Filani reported that the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards 10th edition kicked off on Friday with a Cultural Day event.
Attendees at the event graced the occasion, beautifully dressed in different exquisite traditional attire. Captivating the audiences were BBNaija Neo and his cousin, Venita, Tacha, Liquorose, OAP Do2dtun, Kunle Remi, Iyabo Ojo and a host of others.
After a tough battle, Venita and her cousin Neo Akpofure emerged the Best Dressed at the event. While Neo won the Best Male Dressed category, Venita won the Best Dressed Female. This would be the second time in a role she has won the category, as last year, she, alongside Yemi Cregx, emerged the winner.
