Just like we have our own music video awards here in Ghana, our brothers in Nigeria also have a music video awards. The Nigeria Music Video Awards has been running for seven years already and is in it’s eighth year this year. The organisers of the event, have released the the list of nominees for this year’s edition of the awards.
Looking at the categories of their music video award system, there are some differences, one can easily make out by looking at their nominations. For instance, they have a minor category where children who have their music videos get nominated to be voted for. We do not have such a category in the 4syte music video awards maybe because we don’t have enough children who are into music. Also, i realised they did not have any nomination for Best African Music Video in it. Maybe it will be released later on.
This years NMVA with the theme “A World Without Violence” on account of the security challenges faceing h=the country is scheduled to happen on the the 26th of November.
