NEA GATHERS MOMENTUM



The fifth edition of the Nigeria Entertainment awards in New York is currently gathering momentum. All hands are currently on deck to ensure that this year event is spectacular compared to the previous ones.
The event co-ordinator in Nigeria, Mr Wale Oluwaleimu, explained that they are about to stage the biggest entertainment event in the history of Nigeria. “We are not trying to be braggadocios about this but Nigerians should get ready for the biggest entertainment event. This year NEA will be different from the previous ones in terms of packaging and execution”, he said.
The producers of the annual NEA are passionate about promoting African entertainment as well as using the NEA platform to address issues of concerns to Africans and friends of Africa.
The Nigeria Entertainment Awards (NEA Awards) are presented annually by NEA producers in the United States for outstanding achievements in Nigerian music, film, TV, comedy, fashion and radio.
The awards ceremony features performances by prominent Nigerian and international artists, and some of the awards of more popular interest are presented at the Award ceremony.
The award show was established in 2006, and the first event was held at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center of the University of Maryland at College Park. The second and third editions were held at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.
The NEA Awards of 2010 will take place on September 18 2010 at the Tribeca Performing Art Center in New York City.
