According to Kadiri, her name was among those that ended up on the jury's list during the decision-making process but she was shunned because she doesn't belong to a clique.
She wrote, "I am a filmmaker. I am a woman. I am a hard-working woman. I have faced the struggles every woman/filmmaker has faced. Did my name at any point pop up? Yes. But because I do not belong to a clique, yet again I have been overlooked.
"I will not be pressured. I will keep working hard. @lagosstategovt @moabudu @ijayonah @nifsummit thanks for overlooking me and congrats to everyone who got recognized.
"The film industry is controlled by women, so if you're going to do it, do it right or don't do it at all."
