Last time we all were aware , there were two anbassadors of pampers! And what’s with the one million nominations for one award ? Wack award.
where is banke meshida on the make-up artist of the year? that woman transforms brides and other ladies .
BM PRO?
Miss petite nigeria will clearly win in her category,she is so good.Dollula of spice TV also got my vote
Where is Linda Ikeji in blog category? Don’t get it.
I’m sorry but this is very brainless, If you give all these women these awards this year, who do you give next year? Please revise your ‘not so thought through approach’. Thank you
Omawumi ooo!!!! I think she deserves the award for Megbele. I don’t even know how to describe it you just have to watch the video to understand the feeling. Like seriously?!! Tiwa for Wanted?!! Eminado or Dorobucci sef would have been better. In fact, why are these organizers playing conspiracy here? Yemi for Tangerine when Johnny is there. Lol I give up on them Emele koh! Elele ni!!!
Where is Banke Meshida Lawal?
Where is Linda Ikeji?
Where is Toolz?
Where is Gbemi?
And what’s with the 20 Nominees for one award? Hian!!!
Where is Stella Dimoko Korkus blog on that list? Hmmm something not just right here…
how come linda ikeji and bella naija are not stated above
@delight I’m sure it’s done annually and when there is a new person that’s word the award, they would give. Why not try doing something with your life and stop calling other people’s work brainless. I’m sure they didn’t nominate some women due to some circumstances. Let the new ones also get awards that’s if they get the vote. @missj darling, i believe that award is ELOY2014 and Jhonny isn’t 2014. Just thought u should know Einstein.
Painment! Tiwa should try harder. This award is just mediocre…..
Lol are you their spokesperson? Thanks for the clarification BUT……
Abi ooh! That lady has blessed lives with that her blog. She’s just an epitome of humility and generosity. I guess she isn’t there because she’s more of a diaspora blogger than Nigerian.
There are a lot of people of these diff categories though.. Anyways, na dem know.. The person that’s looking for BMPro, if u don’t get it, she is under beauty brand as u have been living under the rock to know that she is beauty brand and has loads of students under her that do makeup for her clients and all goes under BMpro. @deile ElOY people sent u shebi… If they send me iv I will kuku go. @missj pls go and seat down.
Under stylist of the year, i believe it’s LILIAN Unachukwu, and not LINDA Unachkwu
Whoop misspetitenigeria is the best. I hope she wins this time because last year,she was cheated
Why does the ‘nomination’ list read like a yellow pages?Everyone in each segment is on there. Whack!
ELOY award na real wa! Rubbish Looooool
