In as much as i think the concept of the award is a good one, it is a known fact that awards are in most cases influenced by links, friends, etc …..
No Pun intended what r they unrulies or wotever they r called doing on the teams list, all i see about them on facebook r a bunch of unrulies [as the name implies..lol], partying n puting up pictures, u can call it BEEF but let the truth b told…
goodluck to the nomineessss!
Lol! We’ll see when the nominee list is narrowed down before the awards!
If there anyone that should be on the best use of technology list, it should be Imole Ajiboye. You can contact me to give you his email for an interview.
On-Air Personality of the Year . Yaw of Wazobia FM Lagos.
I think the organizers should focus more on the credibility of nominees and I believe they can do more with less praise singers. Like someone its more about sustainance than present form & it can only be sustained when they carry people along.Like most people I am not happy with some nominations but nice job though.

You are ignorant, thats all. I have been reading the debate here and thought it was generallt healthy until you jumped in! Last two years I was nominated for the future awards from nowhere; i didnt know any of the organisers, didnt move in their circles and I won. I was schocked. Since then I have had nothing but respect for the organisers and it has changed my life.
I have looked thorugh the list this year and i know these guys and am yet to see this their of friends that you profess. Like last year, many of them are from far flung places in the east, north and outside naija. So i wonder what exactly you are talking about?
The organisers say on their facebook group that they will publish all profiles befoere the awards. Plus this award is judged by very credibnle Nigewrians like Reuben Abati and Pat Utomi; why not shut up and wait till the profiles are published to see what the Unrulies have or have not done before shooting your mouth criticising a beautiful idea that has impacted the lifes of thousands of young people?
Hey seun….i do see your point…but at the end of the day i think you sound as silly as somebody for the way you replied as in all the name calling “ignorant” “shut up”..totally uncalled for
and seun about future awards impacting lives of thousands of young people…me i no know o!
me i dont know what Knightbeam does and even the Unrulies!and that is a fact…i do not know what they do as a team..!!!i know some of them have been nominated in the past in diff categories!!more grease to their elbow!!
while, nobody needs future awards to tell them they have done well in life..it must nice to be recognised!The future awards organizers do not know all nigerians so the list can never be accurate..they cant add everyone to the list!I commend future awards for what they are doing..and i think they have done well for themselves…3 years ago no one knew abt it and for them to have achieved this in so liitle time…they themselves should be given an award!!
me sef as i standa here i hope to make business person of the year list say in 3 years!!lol
its all good!!
Hi Timbajo; wen people like somebody make statements like that they ridicule the hardwork and achievement of people who win those awards. they reduce them to ‘friends of the organisers’ and that is not only ignorance but desztructive.
Criticism should be contructive. Do you know the tens of people like me whose work would have gone unnoticed if not for the future awards because they are not musicians or actors of because they are young? Do you know how many thousands of young people from different sectors that get inspired when they see stories of young peoiple like them who have been successfrul thorugh hard times? Lets think beyond ourselves and our narrow self-interest sometimes.
I said this before and i’ll say this again this future award thing is nothing more than a popularity contest and PR promo for friends of the future award. There are LOADS of young Nigerians both in Nigeria and diaspora doing great things for their countries and not being recognized. What in the world do the unrulies do apart from throw parties every now and then? and thats who/what we want our youths to emulate?? SHAME i say.
Like Tobi said, lets see a video clip of these people nominated so we can understand why they were nominated. BN fan, couldn’t agree with you more
Seun, I understand ur grievances, but then this award is highly MERITOCRACY, kudos to the organizer, I know a guy who was in total obscurity, but now illustrious when his good works were noticed by the organizer, I see the organizers as nation builders. Thanks

Yagazie Chukwumerije for person of the year!!!! were do i vote?
@abeg Toyin,
Just thought to quickly say that whilst we really appreciate Toyin speaking up because she believes in what we are doing, that she is actually not an official of the awards. We do not engage people who criticise the process; if we did we’d not have time for anything else. This is a massive national project and so we understand that even though the majority keys into it, there will be people who will have reservations. We take note, we incorporate what we can use and we continue to do what has to be done.
That having been said, before the awards in January, short profiles on these nominees will be published on the site just like we do every year. Thanks for the comments!
future award comes again!nice
but please why are the unrulies here?what is it that they do?i only knew abt them through the little cute one’s blog (tosin),and I have seen pics on facebook of them partying and all that
?????
but big up to the organizers of this awards sa!its not easy sa especially as you just started barely two years ago!there is room for improvement
i guess it must annoy you that we all offer our opinion and belittle the hard work you guys have done?
its not like that , if people are talking then it means you are been noticed, and then people will have their own opinions if you make yourself public.
anyhoo,goodluck to all the dancers,singers and professionals and what have you.
