NIGERIA RULES AGAIN AT CHANNEL O AWARDS

Last night at the Carnival City, in Jo’Burg, South Africa, Nigerian acts proved again that they are a dominant force in the African music industry. Homeboys, who had trooped all the way from LAgos to South Africa, lived up to all expectations as they stole the show with breadth-taking performances, before going ahead to win some of the most prestigious awards of the night.

With a national crew that included Ikechukwu, SAsha, Diamondz, Naeto C, 2Face Idibia, KC Presh, Mtrill, Natz, Omawumi, Psquare, Kelly Hansome and many others, the Nigerian entertainers showed that it is not for nothing that Lagos is called the headquarters of music on the African continent.

And they had power-brokers Keke Ogungbe, Olisa Adibua, Dayo Adeneye, Ayo animashaun, Obi Asika, Tonye Ibiama, Tola Odunsi, Howie T, Yinka Oyedeji, and many others to urge them on.

At the end of the day, not only was a Nigerian video (Do me, by Psquare) named the overall video of the year, Other categories like Best Africa west, Best Duo or group and best male act came to Nigeria.
