On November 2nd, 2019, there was an atmosphere of beauty and celebration, as Africa's most exciting and competitive entrepreneurship award – The Entrepreneur Africa Awards (TEA Awards) – went down at Terra Kulture Arena, V.I, Lagos, Nigeria.

 At 5pm local time, hundreds of african male and female entrepreneurs and business associates, as well as celebrities, stormed the venue, clad in bespoke attires befitting of the prestige of the ocassion and exuding gaeity, panache, glamour and elegance. The Red Carpet was the first to feel the heat as cameras flickered and lights flashed in comemoration of the excitement leading up to the D-day. Over a dozen top leading media houses were on ground to capture all the highlights of Africa’s top entrepreneurship award. These included Silverbird TV, NTA, Sun Newspaper, Kent TV, RedCarpetOnTV, BlackBulbTV, The Nation Newspapers, Kaftan TV, several blogs, etc. 25 different award categories were keenly contested by about 180 official shortlisted nominees, out of a total of 1, 200 different businesses and entrepreneurs who first made the general nomination entries.

 In his welcome remarks, the CEO/Founder of The Entrepreneur Africa (organisers of the premium event) said the Awards ceremony and Business Dinner was all about celebrating the growth of entrepreneurship in Africa and promoting businesses and brands that need it the most.

Nice

impressive

On this part of Africa, we have totally renedered useless what awards should really be.

Awards like Nobel prize, music awards and a host of awards usually have what they stand for and a lot of meaningful criteria to be a winner.
Nobel prize is disbursement of someone's fortune.
However, on this part of the world, giving awards is business for the show owner.

If awards were really meaningful like what it used to be, people wouldn't skip the last headies award to attend Wizkid's show in london

Ok
