Last Saturday, while some of you were busy drooling over pictures from #BAAD2017, some big achievers in the entertainment industry were being rewarded at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards (NEA).

The 12th edition of the Event which was held at the Symphony Space Center in New York was graced by top industry acts like Davido, Olamide, Seyi Shay, DJ Self, Young Paris, Barbee, Gbenro Ajibade, Dremo, Korto Davies, Sheyman, ID Cabasa, DJ Enimoney, Danagog, Dotman and so much more

The glamorous event also saw stars like the O.B.O, Davido, taking home awards for Hottest Single of the Year (“IF“) and Afropop Male Act of the Year.

His protege, Mayorkun, was not far behind, bagging the award for Best New Act.

Street king Olamide took home the award for Album of The Year (“The Glory“).

In the Film/TV category, Ramsey Noauh took home the Best Actor for his role in “’76” while Funke Akindele took home the award for Best Actress for her role in “A Trip to Jamaica”

The one thing common among the Winners, and I am sure they can attest to this, is that they all worked very hard to deserve the awards.
