Anita Akuffo speaks after RTP snub
The TV3 presenter encouraged young people not to give up when life does not go as planned.
The host of The Late Afternoon Show explained that she received several nominations from the RTP Awards organisers over the years and always attended the ceremony in full glamour, yet returned home empty-handed each time.
According to Anita Akuffo, she remained consistent and hopeful despite the disappointments, and her perseverance finally paid off when she won her first award in February 2026.
"For 10 years, I have received several RTP nominations and never won any. Still, I showed up. Still, I did the work. Still, I believed. Ten years later, there’s finally one sitting on the shelf as the Tv development show host of the year🥳 This moment is a reminder that progress happens even when the applause doesn’t come in. Thank you to everyone who has supported, corrected, encouraged and grown with me. Your love never went unnoticed. And to God who carried me through every unseen season all the glory belongs to You🙏🏽 Cheers to 11years of doing what I absolutely love🤍🥂."
