 Nigerian Celebrities Jet To
Frankfurt Germany For Nollywood Europe Golden Awards &
Nollywood Film Festival.

All is set for this year’s edition of Nollywood Film Festival
Germany, with organisers, Ehizoya Golden Entertainment and
partners promising a spectacular show.
According to the convener of the festival, Isaac Ehizoya, the
festival, which also hosts the Nollywood Europe Golden Awards,
NEGA, is a platform designed to honour Nollywood stakeholders,
Nollywood stars, comedians, musicians (both in Africa and in the

The event, he said, has been expanded to recognise the artistic
bias of outstanding politicians and business men whose actions
have directly or indirectly impacted upon the industry, thereby
shaping what it has grown to become today.
“Since it started in 2012 as Nollywood Europe Golden Awards till
when the film festival was berthed in 2014, NFFG has always ended
in a grand gala night featuring top artistes from Nigeria and 2015
will not be an exception. NEGA Awards is the climax (awards and
gala-night) marking the closing ceremony of Nollywood Film
Festival Germany – NFFG, a viable platform designed for Nollywood
filmmakers to showcase their movies to Europeans and Nollywood
fans in the Diaspora which is in its second edition. The event is
scheduled to hold at the prestigious Filmforum Höchst VHS Cinema,
