Some of us might be wondering why this year's ANAN( All Nigerian Award North Cyprus) Awards, turned out less credible than that of the previous years. What might be the cause of the decline in the credibility of the Awards, a feedback is demanded in order to understand the causes of such decline.
On the 19th of December 2014, the ANAN awards was scheduled for 19:00, but began at 21:00. Perhaps the Nigerian Mentality has becomes an integral part of our social norms, which makes it very difficult to be eliminated in our social up-bring. On the contrary, the impact of the environment we find our selves is more likely to sustain the habit.
Despite the minimal numbers, dissimilar to the previous year, a series of events took place, with popular Comedian, M.I Emeka taking the honorary role of the M.C for the day. Later on, a balance was set with I-lite presenter. A Chain of entertaining events took place including Music, Comedy,choreography and a Premier lunch of a new song by popular artist, Elbee. Other artists such as Kevin Tita, Young Tizzer were all part of the entertainers for the Day. All things equal, the unique performance of each participant, illustrated the dedication Nigerians have, when it comes to the Art of Music. Mr. OG's group was unquestionably exceptional, he deserved the award he received,
Music has no doubt become part of the Social fabric all over the globe, both as a mean of earning a living, and of maintaining a lively atmosphere.
However, drawing our attention to the Awards giving, the mode of presentation was neither organized, moral,ethical nor democratic. Although in recent years, students complained of the lack of transparency in Awards giving, but it was not as severe as that of the year before.
Although we cannot deny the fact that the ANAN Award has become a fixed platform for talented Nigerians, to showcase their talents, but the undemocratic nature of the nomination is more likely to alter, the sentiments of Nigerians. The Probable outcome of the democratic deficit could create disinterest for the ANAN Project in entirety.
According to the opinion poll from the audience that attended the Award Night, 70% were disappointed, another 15% were discouraged while the rest accepted that the whole event for the night was neither good nor bad. The absence of good co-ordination of the event also proves, how trivial the Awards Night is thought to be.
Does that mean that the terminology itself, was just a mere facade created to win the Hearts of Nigerians, and let a few fixed Nominees to take their Awards home?
This is a question which the audience would very much want to receive a feedback.
