Deyemi Okanlawon laments not winning award

Legit.ng had reported that the actor had said that he has never won a serious award before, though he has been around for a long time to have clinched one.

He said awards should not be the validation for him or the quality of work he has done; rather, it should be the other way around.

The actor said that he often looked at himself in the mirror and pats his back just to encourage himself despite not winning awards.
