Nollywood Actress Hilda Dokubo Wins Best Actress Awards For Her Role In Stigma, A Film On HIV AIDS

For her role in the advocacy movie, Stigma, a film on HIV/AIDS,
veteran Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo has been named Best and
Most Outstanding Female Performer.
Basking in the honour, which she says is her 10th international ‘Best
Actress’ award, the actress took to her Instagram page to celebrate
with fans.
“The tenth international award as Best and Most Outstanding
Female Performer, based on my performance in the movie, Stigma…
You haven’t seen a movie until you’ve seen this movie,” she
captioned a photograph of herself clutching the award.
Speaking on her role in the movie recently, the actress said; “ the
issue of HIV has been discussed over and over again but not
stigmatisation. People have done movies about how we can
contract HIV and living with the ailment, but we have hardly done
anything on what happens after people have contracted the virus
and how to deal with living with it and how people deal with living
with it. Stigmatisation is a killer. It just means rejection as a result
of it. And when people reject you, it is the same as showing you
hate.”
Stigma, which stars the likes of Emeka Ike and Jackie Appiah
tells the story of the daughter of a local midwife whose
childhood was brought to an abrupt halt when her mother
decides to marry a local Lothario.
