Good for him.

bullshit.
should have went to a lot of people other than him.
shallow world.

the dude is sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyy congrats

he's quite hansome

That dwarf!

im not surprised that he would get this award based on looks.
what has he brought to the industry? ehh?
his acting is terrible and he always acts in the same dry movie roles.
loverboy loverboy loverboy, yawn yawn yawn
i stopped watching any movie with him in it because its usually the SAME THING.
i really dont see how he got this award.
tufia!

am happy for Van he has make a name for himself in quit a short
time. but acting wise, the guy called Mike Ezuronye should have got it
damn he was good in the celebrity never the less, my Van deserve it as well.

@Poster,Van is NOT a ghanaian please.Hes from Liberia.

ifyalways:

@Poster,Van is NOT a ghanaian please.Hes from Liberia.

LMFAO!! what?
he even said so himself (in this video that i watced on youtube way back when) that he was ghanaian/liberian/dutch
but he was raised in ghana.
where are you getting your "facts" from?

Amaka u are fast ooo,i just read where he said thanks to his Ghanaina bros and sisters but the truth is that hes from Liberia,married to a ghana lady.End of tori.
He can say hes from Ghana though,his life to live.I only commented cos i thot it was the posters conception.
Now go LMFAO somewhere else.

actually, no. lol ill "LMFAO" right here.
his MOTHER is ghanaiana and liberian and his father is dutch.
he was raised in ghana cause thats where his mom was living.
so at the end of the day he is more ghanaian than anything else.

why was majid Michel not nominated for the same category?

THE.AMAKA:

actually, no. lol ill "LMFAO" right here.
[b]his MOTHER is ghanaiana and liberian [/b]and his father is dutch.
he was raised in ghana cause thats where his mom was living.
so at the end of the day he is more ghanaian than anything else.

shetani:

why was majid Michel not nominated for the same category?

i believe him and a few others deserved it more.
he has been taking on more challening roles and DIFFERENT kinds at that.
van does the same thing; crying and being a loverboy.
majid has acted in some of the best movies such as Guilty Pleasures, Emerald, Shakira, Heart of Men, ect ect. . .
hm! some people sef.

~Borat~:

why are you confused? he said so himself.
his mother is half liberian and half ghanaian and his father is dutch.
his mother was raised and got married in ghana and thats where van was as well raised.
whats so confusing about that?

I don't see what women see in that guy. He is just a midget yellow sisi.

^me two!!!!!



van proudly reps Ghana, not liberia.

i hear a lot of nollywood actors are upset about this. folks don't think van can act. Mike Ezeruonye def. should have got it.
Van and Ramsey-- i refuse to watch their films

thats exactly why i said this is a shallow world!!
everything is because of looks? nowadays people win based on what they look like. so many talentless jargons taking over the entertainment industry. and not just nollywood but the west included (well at least with music)
i remember back then whether you were ugly or not, you got what you deserved based on your talent.
HE CANNOT ACT. im actually kinda pissed at this, so let me vent here.

i know that others were probably thinking "wtf" when he won.
he obviously didnt deserve it, LET ALONE BE NOMINATED!
when he can start taking on more movie roles like majid michel (and be good at it) then we can talk about winning awards.

Organized by Mode Men magazine, the award was designed to celebrated men, who have profoundly affected lives in their society within the current year.

and i wonder how he did that? ehh? did i miss somethig?   
wasnt it one of the best actors, majid michel, that went to LIBERIA with jackie, rita dominic, desmond elliott, and nonso diobi to help out with the children and what not?
all of them did charity work this year, and van is nowhere to be found.
kai, some people sef.

The dude is cool,u guyz dnt have 2 hate.

i knew someone would come in here with a "hating" comment.
lol
and i bet he's "cool" based on his looks right? or i know we arent talking about his acting here, are we? LOLOLOL!!!
please, lets be honest here, he cant act for shizz.
have you watched any of his movies at all? dont you ever get tired of watching the same crap he acts in all the time? crying and being heartbroken or getting married and cheating, yawn yawn yawn. . .
tell me one challenging role that he did (and did well) in which he deserved the award over better candidates like mike ezuronye, majid michel, and possibly even desmond. 

Congrate to Him

hmmm well since he won kudos to him but it shouldn't be him shaaaaa

hey amaka take it easy i agree wit the dude who says u shd stop hating,like it or not this guy is the hotest tin in nollywood.and as for the roles he b plays,he isnt to b blamed 4 it the industry is made up of up traders lookin 4 fast bucks.

first of all, do you know the definition of "hating" ?? huh??
and second of all he is the "hottest" thing based on looks. and dont even make me start with acting.
tell me one movie he did that put him out in front of others, and i will leave this alone.
totally unfair.
@ the bolded part
and thats an excuse? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! just admit he sucks as an actor and siddon jare.

let me quote myself.

I agree with you, I mean if they were referring to the award based upon community service work and he hasn't done any, then yes he did not deserve it. However, he looks cute no offense y'all, but I think we have far better diverse actors with different skills and talent than him. Anyway congratulations to him.

Looks fake, even in pictures.

Van Vicker, best actor? What a joke!
He should have contested most handsome, but his acting is very annoyingingly predictable and boring too.

Are you kidding me? There is no way he is even half as good as
Mike, they just dashed him the award. Anyhoo, he is ok I guess.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[email][/email]  i dont know how a ghanian will be winning awards in our own country. its really sad!

as far as daises is concerned, its bull to the shit!
