The organizers of Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) announced some days back, that this year’s event will hold between the 29th of November, 2011 till 5th of December, 2011 in Lagos.

According to the organizers,the winners will be chosen by the general public and it is a poll for the public’s favorite Nollywood Stars.
We gathered that Arik Airline will provide a free return ticket to the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival holding in New York, for the winners (Nollywood Star) of the poll/competition.
The latest development now is that,those that have been monitoring the voting since it started are pointing fingers at Ini Edo that the vote may have been rigged
According to ace journalist, dimokokorkusstella I have been monitoring this voting since it started and it beats my imagination that actress Iniobong Edos votes rose from 2586 to 6693 votes in less than a fraction of a second.!
I am definitely not implying anything but what happened speaks for itself and at this point i would say that the award is a sham,a big lie and a cotton over the eyes of innocent voters.
They should Tear down the bloody polls and let us concentrate on something else!
Star actress Rita Dominic is also accusing Ini Edo of foul play.
