Majid Michel picked an award in Ivory Coast last Sunday at the just ended African Golden Crown Award (Le Grand Prix Africain Du Cinema De La Television Et des Tic) held in Abidjan .

The award which was presented to him by the mayor of Abidjan, Danho Paulin Claude was said to be a special award given to him for his hard work in the African film industry.

After receiving the award, Majid admonished African movie makers to pray for the mayor for deciding to invest into the African film Industry, by supporting the GPACT Awards and the Ivory Coast film industry.

“Most of you might not know what is going on here now, but within a few years you will understand that the mayor has really chosen one of the biggest fields to invest in. Don’t forget one of the reasons America has reached where it is today is because of their films. So for any prominent person to decide to invest in the film industry, it means we all have to pray for him to do better”, Majid Michel said.

Apart from Majid Michel who picked the special Award, other African countries like Nigerian (Jennifer Oguzie ) for her role in the movie (Last Flight to Abuja) Niger, Benin, Cameroon, Liberia, Chad, Togo, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Mauritania, France, Gabon, Senegal, Central African republic etc also had some awards.
