The buzz for the 2013 edition of the annual City People Entertainment Awards has started. Organizers of the annual awards, The City People Media Group (a media outfit which has the hallmark of being West Africa’s biggest media group) have released nominees in different categories opened for this year’s edition of the event.
The glamorous event which will be its fourth edition is billed to hold at the posh event centre-The Haven in Ikeja, Lagos on Sunday, July 14, 2013.
The award ceremony is expected to draw about 2,500 guests as well as top showbiz celebrities from Nigeria and Ghana and other parts of the world. Entertainment enthusiasts are already dubbing it as the biggest gathering of Ghana and Nigerian showbiz stars.
The City People Entertainment Awards has been the biggest showbiz event in Nigeria since its inception 4 years ago. The weight of the annual event is not in doubt because it is the only awards event that covers showbiz in its entirety.
Since the outfit is also a beneficiary source of entertainment from both Nigerians and Ghanaians, over the years Ghanaian celebrities have been awarded yearly for their contribution in Ghana and the world at large.
Notable names such as Jackie Appiah, Juliet Ibrahim, Ruff -n-Smooth, Shirley Frimpong, Majid Michel, Yvonne Nelson, Efya, Iyiola Ayoade of Charter House, John Dumelo and Mr. Roland Agambire have all picked up different awards at different categories of the awards in past years.
