Okosi identified three key strategic imperatives for driving the success of the channel. One was to create a model for generating quality video content from a continent which at the time was plagued by poor quality productions. To change this, he took a proactive approach and set up a team of Talent and Music Representatives in key African markets that trained local video producers to create high quality videos. Okosi also brokered a partnership with Shell to execute a "Making The Video" workshop campaign that involved established international directors participating in skills exchange workshop with emerging, African video directors across key countries. As part of the campaign, participating African artists were rewarded with quality video productions that highlighted their musical virtuosity and skill.

The final element that cemented MTV base's toehold in the diverse African musical landscape was making the brand, and its content, accessible to the masses who had limited access to Pay-TV.[9] To accomplish this, "MTV base blocks" were broadcast in partnership with terrestrial stations across the channels key target markets. As a result, MTV base is now accessible to over 100 million viewers across Africa via a combination of Pay-TV and terrestrial partner stations.

To ensure commercial sustainability, Okosi's team established a two-pronged advertising model that included pan-African/country-specific advertising and sponsorships that leverage the pay-TV and terrestrial windows. Their 360 degree campaigns provided avenues for advertisers to reinforce their messages to consumers and create a deeper connection with target populations via world-class event experiences. As a result, MTV base has enjoyed a degree of commercial success that has attracted local and international brands such as Coca-Cola, Airtel, Nokia, Guinness, Fanta, Motorola, Shell, Renault and Star.

MTV Africa Music Awards Edit
In 2008, Okosi was a driving force in the launching of the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) which has served as a vehicle for raising the profiles and earning power of African musicians. The MAMA is a cavalcade of Africa's hottest musical commodities that salutes and celebrates contemporary African music and artists from around the world. Given the international exposure some have garnered on MTV's global network, not a few African artist featured on the show have graduated from local celebrity to playing venues around the world. Over the years, this has legitimized MTV base's international reach and credibility as a burgeoning, multimedia powerhouse.

The MTV Africa Music Awards were first hosted at the Velodrome in Abuja, Nigeria. It was hosted by London-based DJ, MTV and BBC presenter, Trevor Nelson. Subsequent MTV Africa Music Awards were held in Nairobi in 2009 and Lagos, Nigeria in 2010. This event has featured the best of Africa's talent over the years, including such notable African stars like 2Face, HHP, Dbanj, Fally Ipupa as well as international artists like Kelly Rowland, Akon, Wyclef Jean, Rick Ross and T-Pain.

You are obviously drunk.

If Egypt is not Africa why are they playing in AFCON?

Why do they always nominate people in international organizations with African identity?

What makes a nation a part of a continent? Do you think it’s only by choice alone?

Have you seen the continental plates that make up the world. Egypt is sitting perfectly in Africa boy.

Are you just plain stupid or your brain is as empty as a trash can? Tracing your tribe is different from being born there. There are so many AA that are tracing their tribe through DNA. Does that really make them an original and bonafide people of the tribe.
