I missed it,  and i didnt get to watch it

Please can anyone give an update

Faze - Best Reggae Song of the year
DJ Jimmy Jatt - Video of the year
Tuface Idibia - Album of the year (Grass 2 Grace)
Timmaya - Best Dancehall song of the year

i watched a bit!  itwas too boring!  stage was rubbish, presentation wasnt good atall  with qween djinee and this ibo comedian guy wit stupid jokes!

the stage was the most annoying part! using this white chairs that they use in beer parlour as sits for people! it was not even enough! ppll wer standing at the back too¬ 

I was at the NMA live at Owerri (I stay there). I felt like throwing up. The place was messed up. I wish I was a foreign jornalist, na only God sabi wetin I for write. Imagine Shegun Arinze was locked outside for over 15minutes (he was even pleading). Can u imagine some people were exchanging punches right inside the place (tent). Ohakim (Imo Governor) could have told us that he was inviting us for camping insteading lying about the whole issue.The only (i mean the only) interesting event there was the wonderful, surprising and mature performance by the ex-governor of Cross-River State.
Ruggedman - best rapper
x-project - best hip hop song
2face - best R & B

well, i heard it was really messed up,  d videos they were showin durin award presentation were pirated from MTV BASE.
ha!! naija!!!

From the little I watched on AIT I knew that the show is going to be another flop. The performance by one Igbo guy was funny while that of Muma Gee was awful. She (Muma Gee) left before time (and I wouldn't be surprised if we get to know later that she left out of anger) because, it caught the Host and Hostess (Djinee & Kween) unaware.

The stage is too small, smaller than any stage I have ever seen. Performance by a group like P2 wouldn't be okay at all (they would need more space for all those moves). Mamuzee, those big twins were just dancing all alone to their performance.

If I am asked to rate them, considering the money spent and the time dedicated by the attendants only will make me rate 4 out of 10.

One good thing about it is that almost all the celebrities in the nollywood were present.

lol it was part of her script



me sef tire o, stupidity!!!!!!
plain rubbish

sorry to ask o, what genre of music does x-project play???
a) i know that konga boy raps in eno, which makes it rap/hiphop
b) xproject were singin and someone rapped, konga , thats makes it hiphop.
c)my dear nairalanders, that lorile song cannot be classified as rnb, raggae, soul or hardcore rap, the best class to squeeze it in is hiphop
so that justifies whatver yall thought was a mistake, and lets all be versatile and not rigid, hiphop is diverse it doesnt have to be strictly rappin

Lol

@ FLOWSHOW
  You are suppose to be an eMCee, but now i confirm totally that you are wacker than my 5 fingers, imagine what you just said? they had to squeeze it into hip hop because konga rapped when you are suppose to view it the way it is supposed to viewed, you are looking at it from the foolish organisers part of view, let me tell you, that song should be placed in akpala and nothing more,
   Do you know what hip hop is?don't mistake some shits for hip hop, hip hop is the way it is supposed to be.

Just like most of you,I don't like the awar4d.Naija is supposed to have come with something better than that.The stage is too small and people are even standing at the back as if you come to watch a stage show at one field.Though they realy tried there best.Most of the artist's that recieved awards deserved ,Tuface, Lara George,Maintain,Ruggedy Baba but for Lori le as hip hop song of the year,I realy did not fancy that though the song is good but there other better hip hop jamz in Naija.

Its not politics that characterised the award ceremony, its IGNORANCE!

The NIGERIA MUSIC AWARD shot itself in the foot last year when they gave OBIWON(then with just one unsuccessful album abi single sef) the award for the VOICE OF THE DECADE

Their blunders can only get better

A week ago, when the first flight, that is, the Soul Train of the Nigerian Music Awards took off at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, NFC ran an interview with Chief Tony Okoroji who claims to own the right to the NMA. Despite all odds the train moved to the Sam Mbakwe International Airport and the first visible thing on arrival at the airport was a branded vehicle with NMA logo and that of Imo State governor, Ikedi Ohakim that confused the first timer at the state capital, whether it was a music award or rally in support of the incumbent governor. Apart from the buses, there were posters and flyers with the same logo. The carnival-like train with over 50 vehicles and two limousines conveyed Nigerian music stars, actors, actresses and Entertainment practitioners, to the Imo Concorde Hotel, where they were received by some government officials including the state Information Commissioner.

Against the promise by the Okoroji-led Tops Event, organisers of the event, many music stars who were given the “treasure box” containing flight, accommodation and feeding tickets, had difficulty securing accommodation at the hotel that was a co-sponsor of the event. As the cloud of the accommodation problem was about to clear, the first event at the Banquet Hall of Concorde Hotel, which is a dinner with the music stars, commenced.

The hall was full to capacity and a lot of music stars had to stand on their feet throughout the duration, even as security operatives and members of the organising committee found it difficult to control the crowd.In the process, many music acts, movie personalities and journalists were rough handled at the entrance as it became an all comer’s affair.A drama which could have caused an uproar if not quickly nipped in the bud was when a member of the organising committee asked veteran juju musician, Pa Fatai Rolling Dollar, to vacate his seat for Ucheria Anunobi, who was late for the event. He was later cautioned by those in the hall.

At the dinner with the stars, veteran musician like Sir Don Obonu, Sir Douglas Oriche, Ikenga Super Stars and Chief Okonkwo performed.The event which was supposed to be a night of music and dinner turned out to be one of praise singing and homage paying to the governor of Imo State. It became so boring to the extent that many stars abandoned the cold dinner as time was fast running out.

The planned trip to some tourist centres like Oguta Lake was cancelled for poor organisation and worse still, those who came to Owerri on the second day were also busy looking for accommodation.Saturday, the awards day, was worse as the Arcade near the Imo Concorde Hotel became an all comer’s affair. There were lots of security lapses as music stars and actors found it difficult to gain access to the Balmoral Tent, where the event took place, while petty thieves and hoodlum had a field day picking pockets and stealing valuables. Yours truly lost a valuable wrist watch in the process.

During the awards proper which was devoid of the razzmatazz and hype given it, from the comedian to the organisers and award presenters, it was praise singing galore for Ohakim, who was grining and whispering to his wife all through, while music interlude provided by Geterman, Mamuze and Sammy Okposo was drab.Although Djinee won the Best Voice Male; Lara George, Best Voice Female; Tuface, Best R&B; X-Project, Best Hip Hop Song; Ruggedman, Best Rap Artiste; Best Highlife, Sony Bobo; Best Fuji, Dekunle Fuji; Best Raggae, Faze; Timaya, Dance Hall Song; Gospel Tradition, Nwockocha; Gospel Contemporary, Sammy Okposo; 9ice, New Musician Male; TY-Bello, Best New Artiste Female, Record of the Year, P-Square; Song of the Year, Olu Maintain, P-Square also clinched the Artiste of the Year award.Those recognised were Oliver de Coque, Ken Calebs Olumese, Pa Fatai Rolling Dollar and Bongos Ikwe, while Sir Warrior won the Post Humous Award.

Some of the flaws in the awards is in the area of organisation, planning and presentation, as movie stars were given prominence than their counterparts in music circle, even as some of them who were supposed to dress glamorously were not properly dressed.When the event ended at about 2.30 a.m., it was good riddance to bad rubbish!
