Nigerian Music Nigeria – The Future Awards 2010 Full Nominees List

Source: The Net, Tues December 8th, 2009

The count down to The Future Awards, one of the biggest youth Awards in Nigeria has been on for a while, and at a time when all sectors in Nigeria are getting set to round up a rather uncertain year, the TFA team have given us something to talk about.
Their nominees list!!! To be held in Lagos, Nigeria on February 7, 2010, the list of contenders in a total of twenty categories was made available to NET a few hours ago. The nominees are made up of young, and extra-ordinarily driven Nigerian citizens between the ages of 18 and 31. “It’s the definitive list of the brightest and best young Nigerians in the past year” Chude Jideonwo head honcho of the Future award tells NET. And one is made to believe this is right as the list details all the endeavours thriving youths find themselves everyday. From Acting to Advocacy to Style to technology; Journalism all the way to business. He continues “We gathered the best young Nigerians, and we spent two months doing so, it is not about how popular or whether you live in the country or not” Maybe if you go through the nominees list, then you’d agree or disagree with him….
