NMVA is not dead after all

Organisers of the Nigeria Music Video Award (NMVA) on Tuesday released the nominees list for the 2016 edition, ending fears that the project founded by Cally Ikpe was dead.

The 2015 edition was cancelled at the last minute after organisers had announced Ghanaian actress, Jackie Appiah, and Nigerian comedian, Okey Bakassi, as hosts.

Fans can now heave a sigh of relief as artistes like Olamide, Yemi Alade, D’banj Wizkid, Aramide, Phyno, and Solidstar have been nominated in various categories.
