D Banj and Ashionye were the comperes and I must say that the Koko Master owned the night. He's the best compere I have ever seen. I mean he kept us laughing every single time he came on stage...D Banj is really multi-talented and humble. He deserves every success he gets.
Ashionye was well...beautiful, articulate, confident, well dressed and really carried us along.
My girl TY Bello finally won an award for Greenland. About time too.
The best performance for me apart from NAS of course, who really thrilled the crowd, was the Mohits Crew. Great Performance!
Asa and Faze who won awards were absent.

That's it!
Oh by the way, Peter came to the event with Lola Omotayo. Munachi was there too, but she wasn't sitting anywhere near them. I guess that about puts an end to the Peter/Munachi love tango rumour. I like gossip right? lol!
See y'all soon!
Ikechukwu was there, my oh my. The guy is sexy. His body rocks. Kween, my girl, she is just too much. Hmmmmmmm.... Mohits All Stars, Don Jazzy is just organising bigger and mightier things, more grease to his elbows. What's the lastest on him and Tonto Dike? That Tonto is fine, a good actress. PSquare, i believe that they are happy, now. They gave us quite a scare, anyway, i'll speak for myself.
ReplyDeleteNas: big things sometimes come in small packages, he is good.
Congrats to the rest of the winners.
Linda, did you attend the event? If you did, i hope you had a swell time. Can i ask you a question? You don't have to answer, if you don't want to, i understand. Do you dance?

ReplyDeleteWhat in the world was Ashionye wearing bikonu?!Linda did u say she dressed "beautifully"? she looks like a raggiddy lookn' kid! The girl cannot dress chacha...this is the third event ave seen her, and she never fails to disappoint.
LOL at "i dey kamkpe"...wonder how it sounded.
Nma
ok wat is the new thing with that fake gele rita dominic is always rocking? signature style abi wetin? rita pls come correct. u know ur a fab chick.
ReplyDeleteneways, the event looked pretty fab! oh my Gosh im so tired of this country! lol
i miss naija and all it FLAWS jare here is work work work.
so peter decided 2 shut the tabloids up...eh heh! much better! dont be insulting a classy lady like lola like that abeg.
um um wat else...well ur pictures are far from clear sha so i would wait 4 niyi even tho i heard he didnt go 4 d event. i want 2 see what u wore. lol so i can tear u into pieces. just kiddin!! lol u know its all wuv.
ashionye's outfit kinda looks cheap but i havent seen a better picture yet so i'ld just hush it.
em watelse did u write about...oh Nas saying "i dey kampe"...im off to youtube to look for that. lol
oh yea so charly boy is still in the biz?? hmm na wa o! and i see still rocking that cross bridge between okada man and dominatrix ish... lol loves it tho. its all about originality abi??
ReplyDeletewas denrele present??
hi linda, i watched soundcity awards live.the organiser really tried putting all that together. the only disappointment is the girl presenting the show with her fake accent trying too hard to be funny. Dbang really rock the crowd
ReplyDeleteI guess i wasn't the only one that wasn't feeling ashy's dress. She needs to stop with the fakeness.
ReplyDeleteAshionye's ensemble may be a tad bit inappropriate for the event, and she has great legs.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is for her to employ a stylist. It does not have to be a "big name person," it could be an unknown person. The most important thing is that person can come up with simple classy styles that suits Ashionye's body type and personality. Mary J Blige (no comparisons, whatsoever, i am just using her as an example), sings hip hop and her stylists dress her in a kind of laid-back, home girl type of outfits, also, taking note of her hourglass figure/shape, which suits her just fine.
Another suggestion is that Ashionye should blank out her mind on trying to look like or emulate Beyonce - rather she should think about what she truly wants to look like, in the process, she would come to appreciate herself more, notwithstanding, the general public, as well.
She will do well.
linda i no u a nice girl but stop it already with ashionye being well dressed. saw it live on TV and there was nothing well dressed about her. with the fake accent and all. hiss
ReplyDeletelinda i no u a nice girl but stop it already with ashionye being well dressed. saw it live on TV and there was nothing well dressed about her. with the fake accent and all. hiss
ReplyDeleteashionye lol. i will write it for the third time, her tailor hates her.lol.

Hey u haters y d blame on Ash's dressing, babe's only doing what she knows no offence in dat??? about tyring to Beyonce hmm dat one hard ooo. S
ReplyDeletei thot i was the only one that thot ashi was trying too hard. the fakeness is so repulsive it hurts, honestly. no beefs. someone should help her find an identity. I kind of feel sorry for her.
ReplyDeleteIts like u like dbanj
