Nigerian actor and TV personality, Tobi Bakre, has been honored with an acting award at The Future Awards Africa.
Tobi Bakre’s acting career began to soar after his participation in the Big Brother Naija reality TV show in 2018.
It established him as one of the prominent figures who transitioned into remarkable achievements.
Expressing his gratitude for the award online, Bakre extended his appreciation to his elder brother.
His brother had previously received a TFAA award and had inspired him to continue striving for excellence.
He said, “A big shoutout to my brother @femibakre. You inspired this particular award. I hosted the Future Awards years ago, and you won that particular year. I didn’t know when or how, but I definitely wanted to touch the hem of your garment.”
Notably, Bakre had won the Best Actor category at the AMVCA ceremony in May for his action-star role in “Brotherhood.”
