THE HEADIES 2013: IT’S ABOUT TO BEGIN
The Headies; Nigeria’s biggest and most prestigious music award is here. This is the eighth year of the award ceremony that has relentlessly raised bars and pushed boundaries. This year’s awards will continue in the fine tradition of rewarding artistes, music producers, music video directors who have excelled within the year in review and honouring legends who have contributed to the music industry and left a strong legacy for future generations.
Created in 2006, the Headies was established to be the reward for artistic ingenuity in a country where music awards were poorly conceptualized and executed. The maiden edition revolutionized not only music awards in the country but also entertainment events in Nigeria. The following editions in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 have rewritten the script on how award ceremonies should be done.
Why my wife still bears her maiden name – Olu Jacobs
Veteran and award winning actor Olu Jacobs and wife Joke Silva have been married for 27 years now.
While most men would insist their wives change their last names immediately, Mr Jacobs, in this new interview with TheNetng explained why he let his wife maintain her maiden name.
She is her own individual. When I met her, she was an actress known as Joke Silva so why should marrying me now deny her and her audience her name. She is Miss Joke Silva who is Mrs. Joke Jacobs. It is as simple as that. People now begin to say what they like. They have even written that we are separated and all sort of stuffs. When she is working, she is Joke Silva but she is Mrs. Joke Jacobs at home.
