NIGERIAN BROADCASTERS MERIT AWARDS
The Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards (NBMA), as the name implies, is an award ceremony organized to celebrate, honor, and appreciate past, current and dead broadcasters, who have distinguished themselves as role models, mentors, and propagators of social change in the society.
These great people have had a memorable impact on their listeners and viewers over the years through their programmes, as they educate, inform, entertain, and promote peace.
Unfortunately, it has been observed that the Nigerian entertainment industry has shown less concern in appreciating and celebrating Broadcasters and On-air Personalities (OAPs) (Radio and TV presenters)despite the fact that they are the ‘star makers’ and the only road to stardom for both movie and music stars.
The DJs and OAPs keep us informed and soothed our listening ears with good music coupled with their sweet voices that bring joy to the troubled hearts. Imagine the world without them!
