NEA Awards 2016 Nominations
The nominees for the 11th edition of the Nigerian Entertainment Awards (NEA) were just announced.
Most of the nominations are no surprise with the likes of Olamide, Lil Kesh, YCee, WizKid, Tiwa Savage and Davido picking up nods.
Some "WTF" moments in our books are Niyola being nominated in the Best R&B category and Chidinma being nominated in the best Afropop category. Surprisingly in the Male DJ Category, none of the Nigerian based heavyweights were nominated.
Here are some of our predictions. Check out some of the nominations below. For the full list go to neawards.org
