The second edition of Music & Entertainment Gospel Awards, (Mega Awards) has been scheduled to hold at The Haven Event Centre, off Oba Akinjobi Way, GRA Ikeja, Lagos on Friday, November 14, 2014.
The event is coming on the heels of months of a rigorous screening exercise through a three-tier process of identifying and celebrating the best music performed by the most talented people and a well-attended nominees’ unveiling ceremony which held on Tuesday, October 21, 2014 where about 24 categories were announced while ten others will be not be revealed until the main event.
As part of the plans for the award, nomination letters have gone out to over 70 nominees spanning close to 110 nominations in 36 award categories.
The screening process brewed over the six-week voting period (August 30 to October 10) with thousands of Nigerians across the nation and in the Diaspora participating actively through it all. Exciting young faces have been pencilled down to perform at the event while top artistes like Aity Daniel, Nosa, Tehila Crew, Funke Akinokun, Monique, Rosemary Chukwu, Cute Sagay, Ibitayo Jeje, Chika 100%, Da’Son, Razphil (from Jos) and few more will also thrill the crowd expected at the event.
According to the coordinator of the awards, Femi Akintunde-Johnson, “Respected Nollywood personalities, popular musicians, celebrities, senior government officials and top brasses of the business community have accepted to present awards or attend as special guests, as well as famous men and women of God and hundreds of the best talents in the gospel music industry who have since received their invites (soft or hard copies) weeks ago.
“We are confident that when all things fall in place, MEGA 2014 will have advanced several steps forward in making gospel music reclaim lost ground and underscore Nigerian entertainment as the real sector of the Nigerian economy and lifestyle. And what’s more – this year’s theme would have rekindled a new spirit that proclaims: the revolution has indeed begun.”
