wow! Frank Osodi is sure picking one award. i cant wait
very funny!!!! franks name has been yanked off his category!! this is not soooooo right and fair!! gees!! africans are so manipulative!its so unbelievable!! this is another crap!!!
Best Makeup Artist should go to Bisi Dada-Essien. Her work- woooshh! *insert BB Dancing emoticon*
FRANK OSODI DEFINITELY GONNA WIN!!! THE GUY IS SUPER TALENTED!!!!
this award is a joke…..they just threw in any names that came to mind. A lot of the people nominated in a single category are in the same league.
You’re making sense… Nigerians are too clicky…
I cannot comprehend how some people were grouped together. Awards awards Nigeria no de carry last
Best make-up Artist should definately go to Bisi Essien of Crystal Eyez. Her work is amazing and she is such an amazing person, has a very luvly persoanlity. and is very professional, great customer service too, she is really focused on revealing ur flawlessness and geniuely makes sure u r absolutely beautiful for your wedding. great service would recommed her any day.
i totally agree with boo, this award nomination totally speak amatuer to me. how will u bring a whole first lady a\of a country and put in same category with names that most folks dont know what thi\eir inspirational works are , the organisers should have created a category where michelle. oprah and thier likes comes under the same category. moreover if for example u have a category for most inspirational woman, inspirational where? in her country or in the entire world? also if this magazine say they are internationally acclaimed, why would they have a dominance of nigerians in almost every category which makes it look as if the foreign nominees are being done a favor. i totally understand the fact that they are tryin to encourage some individuals, but most names listed in some of these categories are way not it.
some kind of randomness… never seen this magazine
What is this really about? Seems random.
Went to the website. Still confused. Why should these awards mean anything, does everyone just get up and have an award show for sponsorship, publicity and sales. I feel like we need more of a background on SideView and how successful they are and why the awards they give are relevant. No hate at all, I am genuinely baffled.
Michelle Obama and Genevieve? ((surprised)). Anyways, Tiffany Amber sure deserves to win, she inspires me and shé is always coming up with great styles.
lololoololol….u lot are jokers!!! sideview?? major side eye!!!…very random awards, michelle obama, ozwald boateng..let them catch you!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL….my sentiments exactly. sheer randomness for the sake of publicity. really weird groupings.
