Nollywood star Fatima Jabbe has been voted the best female actress at the African Oscars in Washington DC topping the list of 32 nominees in Africa People's Choice Best Actress category, say reports reaching What’s On.

 

 At the prestigious dinner held at the Warner Theatre in Washington over the weekend, Ms Jabbe picked the award ahead of other Nollywood superstars including the likes of Omotola Jalade, Monalisa Chinda, Queen Amina and Ify Hollywood. London-based Ms Jabbe has featured in numerous Nollywood films shot in the UK and was one of the stars of the recently-shown Shameful Deceit.

 

Fatima Jabbe no doubt is one of the most successful and accomplished Gambian actress today. She has starred in popular Nollywood movies such as ‘Mirror Boy’, a movie that has raked in millions of nairas. She will next feature in Battered, which is due to premier at the Odeon Cinema in Greenwich, southeast London on September 28. 

 

In the film, former Super Eagles striker John Utaka will be making his Nollywood debut and several other Nigerian regulars includingTheodora Ibekwe who was voted the best UK-based actress at the Nigerian UK Based Achiever's Award over the weekend and veteran Lanre Balogun will appear in the movie. Other stars featuring in the film will include Yvonne Hays, Collin Archer Pearce, Atto Erick, Marie Gomez, Nana Churcher, DJ Ozzy and Tim Uche.

 

 Ms Jabbe said: "This film promises to make you cry, laugh and smile. Watch out for Battered, a movie that will keep your eyes on the screen without blinking." Described by producers as a film that will be a game changer in the UK Nollywood cinema, Battered is a film highlighting violence against women as an obstacle to the achievement of equality, development and peace. Ms Jabbe, who is the script writer and executive producer of this emotional film, plays the leading role of Ann, who is a victim of crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men.
