Rising actor Chimezie Imo who’s best known for playing the role ‘Elijah’ in the viral movie “The Breath of Life, was overwhelmed with emotions when he was announced as the winner of Trailblazer Award at the awards night. Perhaps, he was not expecting to win the award or it was an honour too big for him.

The actor broke down in tears after he was handed the award. But for his colleagues who rallied around him, Imo was almost lost in thought.

He managed to pick courage and said, “I dedicate this award to my fans and supporters. I just want to say a very big thank you, Africa Magic, thank you for making me feel seen and recognizing this gift God has blessed me with.”

Imo encouraged aspiring actors to remain steadfast in their pursuits, emphasizing the transformative power of perseverance in the industry. “So every actor, young, up-and-coming, should be one audition away from your big break,” he declared, inspiring fellow talents to pursue their dreams relentlessly.
