Tukura said she didn’t anticipate that she would be handed a plaque, adding that she initially thought she would be given a cash award of N500,000.
The former beauty queen revealed this on a podcast recently.
She said, “I think Nigerians don’t really know how to appreciate realness. I don’t know how to explain it. The truth is, I’m just getting into the industry now. I have never attended an AMVCA before… This is me not even knowing that there was a proper physical plaque or anything like that. I don’t know. The only thing I heard was that they give N500k.
“I was thinking it’s a N500k thing and next thing, they are calling my name to come and collect an award. I was even bending, I was trying to hide. It was Tobi Bakre; he was in front of me. He said, ‘what are you doing? Stand up and go and walk on that stage.’
“Then I started walking. If you noticed, it was so awkward for me. I was walking, I was running. I didn’t know what to do…It came to me as a shock.”
