Lateef Adedimeji Showers Praises on Wife Mo Bimpe as They Step Out in Style Ahead of AMVCA
Nollywood actor and filmmaker Lateef Adedimeji couldn’t hide his admiration for his wife, Mo Bimpe, as the couple stepped out elegantly for a recent event ahead of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
Taking to social media, Lateef celebrated their shared heritage, proudly noting how they wear their culture like a badge of honour. Their traditional attire, he said, is a testament to the richness and beauty of their roots. He went on to describe Mo Bimpe as a “symphony of laughter and warmth,” adding that their love is a celebration of the little things that truly make life meaningful.
Lateef, who earned an impressive 10 nominations at this year’s AMVCA, expressed deep gratitude and excitement over the recognition. He spoke of the joy that comes with being a filmmaker and the honour of receiving not one but two personal nominations. The actor also congratulated the cast of his film Lisabi, expressing pride in their achievements and appreciation for the support the project has received.
“Standing beside my beloved, I’m captivated by her radiant smile. Together, we wear our heritage like a badge of honour, our traditional attire a testament to the beauty of our roots. Her presence is a symphony of laughter and warmth, our love a celebration of the little things that make life worth living.
With every step, I feel the weight of our ancestors’ legacy on my shoulders. I want to make them proud, to honour the sacrifices they made for us to be here today. When I look into her eyes, I see a future filled with possibility, a boundless expanse of wonder and adoration.
The joy of every filmmaker is in seeing your work earning recognition from relevant quarters, and in the spirit of the AMVCA season, I am excited for the honour of being nominated, not once, not twice, but a whopping ten times!
I have said so much about my Lisabi experience, and it is a joy to me that all of us, from those who acted alongside me and my wife on the project to those who worked in the background, got recognition through the AMVCA nominations. What more can I say?
Here’s me also congratulating everyone who got nominated in the categories in which my project is featured. We are all winners. Let’s keep the good work up. We owe it to the emerging generations to leave them with works that will last a long time and challenge them to a high standard.
To my people, the Yoruba, Nigerians, and Blacks worldwide, I say: “Let’s hold onto our heritage tightly. Let’s wear our African prints, such as Ankara, aso oke, adire, damask, etc., with pride, speak our languages with joy, and celebrate our cultures with fervour. For in our heritage lies our strength, identity, and glory. Let’s pass it on to our children so that they may know their worth and the beauty of their roots.”
