How can Olamide's "Mayweather" be ranked above Falz's "Stories that touch" in a rap category? .....well it's Naija so I can't expect more.

since it is called "NIGERIAN ENTERTAINMENT AWARD", why is it being held in the US?
Can't we have the ceremony hosted here in Nigeria?
Has the Americans ever hosted the Emmys, VMA, Oscars or Grammy outside the shores of the US?
Why we no dey use our head for dis country sef

Everyone cannot be pleased. The organisers have tried their best. But please host the shows in Nigeria

How did 'Eyan Mayweather' beat 'Stories That Touch'

Must u all cries about the location of the event it was held in the State so deal with that

Ejhoor...how come 'Soldier' didn't win any award. chai!!!

Olamide is not a rapper

Nigeria entertainment award, Why New York

sapiosexual1:
What's the rationale for holding the NEA awards in New York? Is that where most of the awardee are based?
I have always said it and would keep at it, I have never rated Olamide and I still don't rate him. Dude has got no lyrics. His contemporary (Wizkid) is flying high because he worked on himself.
I didn't bother to look at the film category, I don't watch naija films FFS

Olamide has got no lyrics........u need to stop smoking.

Hmmm, rubbish!!!

Womanitarian:

Ask yourself will America ever host any of their entertainment show in Nigeria. I live here in America and I'll tell you we need whatever this event generated no matter the amount in our own local economy not in America. If Nigeria entertainment industry want to attract foreign investors or they are looking for more exposure please my people it is not through hosting an award show in foreign countries .

either you rate them high or watch Nigeria movies or not that will not reduce their bank account or stop them from Taking their awards. Millions of people watch them so if you donot then it won't change anything nd they don't even know or care about you

when phyno go dey win award like olamide nah?
