After having successful hosted a couple of editions
in Ibadan, Abuja and Kaduna, the much-talked about Nigerian
Broadcasters’ Nite (NBN) is back in Lagos.
It would be recalled that the ‘train’ of the
monthly event solely designed to further celebrate broadcasters, On-Air
Personalities, TV and Radio stations, left Lagos in 2013 for Ibadan, Abuja and
Kaduna in 2014.
However, come Saturday May 30th, 2015,
it will be the turn of Rhythm 93.7 FM’s DJ Humility and
Brila FM’s ace presenters,Ogechukwukanma Ogwo and Murphy
Ijemba, to be celebrated at the Nigerian Broadcasters’ Nite,
holding at the new Vapours Nite Club; the celebrity
hangout, situated at 879,Samuel Manuwa street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
It may interest you to know that the dynamic duo of
Ogechukwukanma Ogwo and Murphy Ijemba emerged Most
Popular Radio Sportscasters at the prestigious Nigerian
Broadcasters Merit Awards (NBMA) that was held in 2012 and 2013
respectively, while DJ Humility of Rhythm 93.7FM, was crowned ‘Best In-House DJ’ in Nigeria during the 2011 maiden edition.
It’s no doubt that DJ Humility, Ogey and
Murphy are currently on top of their games.
Ogechukwukanma Ogwo has
nothing to prove to anyone as far as secular and sports’ broadcasting is
concerned, having been on top of it for more than 12 years. Enchanting natural
characteristics such as great voice and playful personality coupled with her
mastery of sports issues and penchant for meaningful analysis, she is no doubt
a great sports presenter.
She started off with ‘Straight from the
Heart’ on RayPower FM in April 2002 and then
became a presenter anchoring the ‘Top 10 Countdown Show’ and ‘Rock
Radio’. In August, 2003, she auditioned for, and got a job with Brila
98.9 FM.
Ogey as she’s fondly called, rose to the
ranks of starting off hosting ‘Whistles Of The Night’, ‘The
Afternoon Blazing Drive’, ‘Top 8 Countdown’, ‘The
Sunday Morning Show’ and ‘The Super Morning show’.
As she carved a niche for herself with entertainment programme, Ogey has hosted
top celebrities like Tuface, DBanj, Don Jazzy (All then- Mo Hits
acts), Paul Adefarasin, Rev Anslem Madubuko, Ali baba, Mike Ezuruonye,
Rita Dominic, Olamide, Kenny & D1, Omawunmi among others.
Having explored the beauty of entertainment through
and through, she however started yearning for a more challenging side of
broadcasting. She then plunged into sports broadcasting and currently
hosts ‘The afternoon show’from 12noon-4pm, ‘The
Lunch Hour Sports Cruise’, 1pm-2pm Mondays - Fridays and ‘Saturday
Breakfast Show’,6am-12noon. She has hosted sports celebrities like
Obafemi Martins, John Fashanu, Taiye Taiwo, Abedi Pele among countless others.
For DJ Humility, the turntable
majesty-born, Benedict Afagwu hugged the spotlight when he won
the Benson & Hedges DJ Championship in the early 2000. Since then,
Rhythm FM’s famous in-house DJ has maintained a steady rise and rise in fame
and fortune. DJ Humility has not only performed in some of the biggest shows held
both at home and abroad, he has successfully staged personal shows i.e. the
yearly DJ Classics. He has rocked
clubs, parties and some of his singles has earned him more respect in the music
scene.
On his part, Murphy Ijemba does
not live in anybody’s world; he creates his own- mannerisms, attitude, beliefs,
dress sense and the man who calls himself Radio Paparazzi does not conform to
the norms. Creative and expressive, Murphy’s outlandish characteristics are
visible in his presentations on radio, applied so positively listeners that
can’t help craving for more.
Murphy’s style on radio can be described as a
combination of passion and energy which produces a sporting orgasm.
Now that the stage is set, there is no doubt as to
what to expect when these amazing OAPs emerge for the Night. Aside DJ Humility’s special performance for the
night, DJ Obi and DJ Debby will raise the roof with their scintillating mixes
on turntable.
The Nigerian Broadcaster’s Nite is
powered by The Reality Entertainment in association
with Vapors Nite Club. Red carpet
is slated for 9pm with special performances from rising and shining music
stars. The event will be anchored by humour merchants, De-Don
and MC Lin Chung.
