On November 2, 2024, Nollywood took centre stage as Netflix hosted its much-anticipated annual celebration, “Lights, Camera…Naija!”
The event dedicated the night to honouring the industry’s Pioneers, Pillars, and Players. With this, it created an unforgettable tribute to the heart and soul of Nollywood.
With a dynamic blend of cinematic magic and stunning fashion, the evening showcased the very essence of Nigerian cinema.
