Vigor Awards

The purpose of the Vigor Award is to seek to honor those individuals who would not ordinarily receive recognition or be publicly appreciated for their selfless efforts to enhance the lives of people around them, through their unrewarded volunteering efforts or through humanitarian work or by acts of valor in extraordinary circumstances.

 =============================================

Queen Amina

Because of first-hand experience with some of these unsung heroes giving into her own life, Queen Amina has been given the vision to seek a venue in which those who rise above their circumstances, or those who see the needs of others despite their circumstances can be recognized for a brief moment in time. That ordinary people giving in extraordinary ways might be treated as the VIP’s that they truly are, even if the majority of the world does not know who they are. The people chosen are to be from various ethnic groups, enhancing the recognition that all races, colors, and creeds add to the value of community, whether on a local, national, or international scale.

v

 =============================================

The desire to create a platform for this vision was heightened by Queen’s experience as a rising actress and her participation in Red Carpet events pertaining to the entertainment industry. The seed was planted to recognize individuals who give of themselves selflessly in a similar manner, knowing that there is no such ceremony in the world that specifically recognizes volunteers, humanitarians and achievers. To be able to recognize them as “stars” of life is the ultimate aim of the Vigor Award.

The future goal is to have Vigor Award ceremonies in different countries of the world due to the unique nature of the Award, because volunteerism, humanitarianism, and achievements of outstanding individuals is global, and to bring the aspect of “doing good for others” to all countries as well as our own.

All guests are treated royally!

PHOTOS: Memoirs from 2016 Rhyme and Reason Concert | @RandRconcert

Published

on

rhyme-and-reason-concert-2One of the best Spoken word concerts in Africa took place on Saturday, 11th June, 2016 and lovers of poetry within Lagos, outside Lagos and other parts of Africa gathered at The Dome, Lekki, Lagos Nigeria for the 2nd Edition of Rhyme and Reason “The Excision“.

ry8The event was full to capacity as more people streamed in through the gates to see four of the best international Spoken word artistes; Jackie Hill-Perry, Preston Perry, Ezekiel Azonwu and Janette…ikz.

Members of the audience were in awe at how much Ezekiel was able to get into the devil character while performing ‘The Letter”. Ezekiel and Janette…ikz pulled off a grand show in “Ready or Not”, and Janette.

ry10ikz got into her role by wearing a wedding dress. The crowd went wild when Preston and Jackie Hill-Perry performed “The Fall” and they didn’t stop screaming for more than five minutes! Preston’s “Jesus is God; and I dare you to tell me otherwise” line was repeated by the awed crowd long after the event was over.

Our very own home-grown Nigerian artistes also owned and rocked the stage, with Gaise, Plumbline, Atilola, DJ Mordu, OR.RAW.DAY and Ibk Spaceship Boi giving amazing performances.

To those who missed the event, you’re not left out, here’s a link to watch from

The Excision is certainly a show to remember for a long long time and Rhyme and Reason is getting ready to take the bar triple higher on their next event. Follow Rhyme and Reason for updates on upcoming projects.

Obiora Obiwon Heralds 38th Birthday and 10th Career Anniversary Project with New Single

Published

on

Floodgates (The New Overflow)_Art

Lagos, NG — Over the past one week, urban gospel act, Obiora Obiwon, has actively taken to Social Media with the promise to drop a single from his forthcoming album on his birthday, June 9, 2015.

The new single unveiled yesterday, entitled “Floodgates (The New Overflow)”, marks the beginning of a new season for Obiora Obiwon as he clocks 38 years and officially begins to mark 10 years in the music industry. The artiste reflected,

They say it’s my 38th birthday today, but it’s You My Lord I celebrate. Thank You for giving me You. Thank You for giving me the abundant and eternal life, joy, peace and fulfillment…

DOWNLOAD

obiora-obiwon-anniversary-logoObiwon’s professional music career journey started 10 years ago in 2005 with the release of his first EP (short form album) entitled “Get ‘Em Up”. The EP’s lead single with the same title was remarkable for pioneering the use of 3-Dimensional Animation in Nigerian music videos.

In recent times Obiwon has been noted more for his unshaken resolve to impact the Nigerian gospel music scene, Nigerian youths and the entire society using the medium of his faith-based music.

ObioraObiwon_Official_Photo_3

His transition from the secular Pop/R’n’B genre in 2008 was initially received with mixed reactions but has slowly gained acceptance in recent times, with Obiwon being featured in both faith-based and secular events. Between 2014 and early 2015 alone, Obiwon clinched 7 gospel music industry awards for the stellar work on his 2013 album, Gold Water.

The release of new single “Floodgates (The New Overflow)” today gives a foretaste of the 10th anniversary projects, which will include an anniversary album aptly entitled “Floodgates: The Beginning Of The New Overflow”.

ObioraObiwon_Official_Photo_1

On the full album scheduled for a November release, Obiwon further mines his musical romance with long-time production collaborator Phat-E, credited for past Obiwon hits including “Hail My King”, “Obi Mu O” and the bulk of work on his last two albums. On the new single, Obiwon and Phat-E experiment with a mix of both conventional and unconventional sounds, as well as lyrics rife with symbolism.

The months ahead will see the artiste announcing the entire project plan for the commemoration of the anniversary, themed “Soli Deo Gloria” as an Anniversary Logo.

 

ABOUT OBIORA OBIWON:

R’n’B-Singer-Turned-Urban-Gospel-Minister Obiora Obiwon received his first gospel music honours at the 2013 National Gospel Awards and has gone ahead to receive multiple honours at notable gospel music industry platforms between 2014 and 2015. Prior to this, Obiora Obiwon’s previous work was also recognized and awarded at notable Nigerian music industry award platforms. The impact and influence of both his faith-based and preceding work continue to grow both locally and internationally.

Fun filled!
Love filled!!
Mind Blowing!!!

Reality Radio Show 2 was all this and more at Ada’s crib. The delectable gospel artiste had the Praiseworld Radio Family at her beautiful home on the 24th of February ’15.

She shared with us LIVE ON AIR what her afternoon experience is like when she’s not in the studio cooking up new gospel tunes for gospel music lovers.

20150224_155905

Praiseworld Radio listeners were treated to few facts and exclusive information about Ada, including some unreleased songs which she sang to us, her favorite spot in the house (a corner between two chairs with throw-pillows stacked together), Inspiration zones (which included pacing around the house), her wonderful skill of using the pots, pans, utensils and raw food and turning it into amazing meals for her family (which we also experienced first-hand)

Ada's favorite spot in the house. Where she gets her inspiration from. LOL

From The CEO himself Tola, the spice on the Mic overseeing the downing of each meal by everyone to Provabs’ manning of the fried Plantain so A’cube wouldn’t touch to Gamie posing for pictures like he was born to do it to Kishi with his undercover picture-taking skills of the camera shy AwhyOfGod to Ma’am Yele’s helping out Ada in the kitchen and to the listeners tweeting and calling in, we can say Reality Radio Show @AdaEhi’s crib was REAL alright.

20150224_162845

It was as real as Jesus’ birth people.
Yes, we never forgot God amidst the fun.

So who’s next? Who’s crib are we storming next? Do you have a clue?

People brought Gifts for the couple and danced and rejoiced with them. It was a Beautiful evening as workers appreciated the new couple.
