inspire celebrities, corporate organisations, and everyday citizens to
become involved in the generous act of giving. The recipient will
receive a creatively designed "Hands of Love" statuette with their name
and award category engraved on 19th August of every year to commemorate
the World Humanitarian Day.
At a well attended event at Oriental Hotel Lekki, Lagos the First Edition took place on the 19th August 2015 in which NIKKI
LAOYE, a singer/humanitarian received the inaugural edition as the

Congratulations Nikki, I watched your performance at #Mandate last week and you were awesome, like a cross between Lauryn Hill and Janet Jackson, the way you switched from laid back guitar music to the 1-2-3 dance was just da bomb!

Congrats nikki, this is just the beginning, greater things are ahead! He who gives to the needy lends to God
U can't meet Nikki Laoye and not like her. She has a great personality. Award well deserved!
So because he has time to be there for his wife, it means he doesn't have a job for himself? That's a very dumb thing to say!
She's been doing an amazing job with her music and her charity. This is an award that really makes sense and I think she deserves it. I hope she reads this sha, she's one of my mentors in music and charity
Na wa oh! So because he's standing by his wife, he doesn't have a job? What kind of comment is this? Abi are you jealous that she has a husband who supports her? Naija girls get bad mouth sha.
Congrats to nikki by the way
Congrats Nikki!! Beautiful IN & OUT!!
