It has become part of the tradition of the Nigerian Music
Awards (NMA) that every state in Nigeria, including the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, contributes a ravishingly
beautiful queen that plays the role of hostess at the NMA
Gala scheduled for May 24, 2008.
The search for these hostesses is usually a tedious affair
because apart from being beautiful, each hostess must exhibit
excellent manners, good carriage and be a good ambassador
of the state that she represents.
The NMA Hostess Search is aimed at promoting national integration
and the best values of Nigerian womanhood using the NMA.
All those who had the fortune of attending the return of the
Nigerian Music Awards in Abuja in 2007 will forever remember
the moment when the 37 queens, each dressed in national green
with a dash of white, made their majestic entry into the Africa
Hall of the International Conference Centre.
The process of choosing the lucky girls who would each receive
mouth watering gifts and prizes began weekend, as the South
West zonal contest held in Lagos, precisely Waterparks, Toyin
Street, Ikeja.
Afterwards, the search moves to Abuja for the Northern zonal
contest, which would hold by the poolside of Chelsea Hotels
& Suites, Abuja on Saturday, April 26, 2008.
The grand finale of the 2008 NMA Hostess Search takes place
on May 3, in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, which is the
first state in the 19 year history of the Nigerian Music Awards
to host the event. The contest takes place at the prestigious
Imo Concorde Hotel.
For now, hundreds of beautiful girls wishing to be part of
the historic NMA Imo 2008 have kept the www.nmaimo2008.com
website busy as they complete forms online to be eligible
for the contest.
Meanwhile, the First Lady of Imo State, Barrister Chioma Ohakim
has called on all those involved in getting Imo State ready
to host the NMA to ensure that nothing is left to chance in
seeing that the 2008 NMA, the first to be hosted by any state,
is a huge success.
