Sultry actress Rita Dominic has always been known to be on
top of her game. Her efforts in the industry have continued to earn her a
lot of laurels, and last weekend was not different as she added another
feather to her cap when she won the Face of Nollywood award at this
year’s edition of the City People Awards.
Rita
beats the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Funke
Akindele, among others, to win the coveted prize. It would be recalled
that she won the Most Outstanding Actress award in 2004.
The
recent award ceremony, however, held at Heavens Event Centre, Ikeja,
Lagos, and was graced by who is who in the industry. Rita, in her usal
style, looked stunning in her black outfit which stole the hearts of
fashionists at the event.
In her acceptance speech, the Imo
State-born actress thanked the organisers of the show for recognising
her contribution in the industry. “ I am very happy today. This is the
second time I am winning this award. I dedicate this to God Almighty, my
late parents and my manager. I am short of words. I don’t know what
else to say,” she said.
Other winners were Ghanaian actress,
Juliet Ibrahim, who won the Best Celebrity Foundation award, Mercy
Aigbe(Best Actress In Yoruba). Singer Praiz won Best Rhythm and Blues
Singer of the Year and Kcee’s Limpopo bagged Best RnB singer award,
among others.
