Ghana Must Go, the romantic comedy produced by award-winning Ghanaian-Nigerian actress, Yvonne Okoro, won multiple awards at the Golden Movie Awards which took place at The Kempinski Hotel, Accra, Ghana over the weekend.

The Golden Movie Awards is the biggest annual award ceremony honouring outstanding achievements in African television and digital media and the prestigious awards are administered by experts in cinema and television in Ghana.

Ghana Must Go won four accolades including best actor (Kofi Adjorlolo); best actress (Yvonne Okoro); best supporting actress (Doris Sackitey); and best comedy of the year.

Delighted, Okoro dedicated the awards to her teeming fans in Ghana and Nigeria, saying, “The awards won by Ghana Must Go are dedicated to my fans in Ghana and Nigeria. I appreciate all the other cast and crew members who made this dream a reality.”

Ghana Must Go revolves around two young lovers who are of Nigerian and Ghanaian origin. Okoro plays the role of Ama, a London-based Ghanaian woman who brings home her Nigerian boyfriend, Chuks (Blossom Chukwujekwu), to meet her parents, much to the displeasure of her wealthy father.

Her parents refuse to give their blessing to their union, citing historical happenings between the neighbouring nations as reasons for their refusal.

The series of events test the love of the young couple in the most hilarious and unexpected fashion.

Ghana Must Go was released earlier in 2016 and has already enjoyed box office success in Ghana.

It’s currently in Nigerian cinemas until August 2016.
