Nigerians please go to the MTV Africa site and vote for the Nigerian artists nominated. Please and please don't let South Africans win any of the awards if possible. |

How can someone attend the awards? |
Re: Mtv Africa Music Awards 2008 by Comfort86(f): 3:21pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
The awards is being held in Abuja not Lagos. You can't cast your vote in any of these categories except for the listeners choice. Bummer |
Re: Mtv Africa Music Awards 2008 by adconline(m): 4:29pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
why having artistes who dont live in Africa on the list? |
Re: Mtv Africa Music Awards 2008 by shilling(f): 4:35pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
@ ayomifull Looking at the list of nominees, you'll realise that our Nigerian artistes deserve it more than all the others. Quality of music, popularity (Africa and international), even looks - however you look at it, our artistes deserve it more. |
Re: Mtv Africa Music Awards 2008 by shilling(f): 4:44pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
adconline: Good question. Probably because they're "African" although nothing about them is African besides the colour of their skin and their roots. |
Re: Mtv Africa Music Awards 2008 by showbobo(m): 7:49pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
@sylve11 How bodi bros?? . . . . . Dem no nominate you for any award at all |
Re: Mtv Africa Music Awards 2008 by shotster50(m): 11:54pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
@ adconline You are asking why include non Africans or Africans not living in Africa. If your question is the first one, let me ask you; why did the Mobos / MTV Europe have 'Best African Artistes' category even though the winners are not Europeans and most live in Africa? Heck even the Grammys too, |
