Ruth Kadiri
Tribute
Ruth Kadiri writes scripts that captivate Nigerian audiences, but her most compelling storylines are the daily chapters she creates with her two children, full of plot twists only motherhood could imagine. We honour the creativity that flows seamlessly from professional productions to impromptu puppet shows, the emotional depth she brings to both dramatic scenes and bedside conversations, and the way she's teaching that life's most important reviews come not from critics but from the hearts we nurture.
