Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has lashed out at the AMVCA after losing his iPhone and Samsung.
In an Instagram rant, the actor said the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, held a week ago, reminded him never to ignore his instincts. According to him, if he had obeyed his instinct and ignored those advising him to wait for the after-party, he wouldn’t have lost his phone.
However, Awobona said he is grateful to be alive and appreciates those who have been trying to reach him. He explained that his two phones were picked up at AMVCA, that he has been busy at work, and that he is hoping to get them back.
“AMVCA 2026
You reminded me never to ignore my instinct.
If I had obeyed my instinct and ignored those advising I should wait for the after party, maybe my iPhone and Samsung wouldn’t have been picked.
Anyways, I am here and still grateful for God.
Hello, if you have been trying to reach me since Sunday, I am back now.
My 2 phones were picked at AMVCA. Been busy at work, and aside from the difficulty in getting my Sims and apps back up and running. I was also hoping to get my 2 phones back.
You can resend all your messages from Saturday, please.
Thanks for your understanding.
Please, if you booked me for any gig, kindly send a reminder with the dates and all.
My schedule is on the stolen phones”.
