For 20 years, Ehizoya Golden Entertainment has ferried Nigerian stars of films and music for cultural integration events in the EU.

The numbers of artistes who have travelled to be part of these events are uncountable.

Some of those who have featured in these shows since 2002 here recall fond memories and speak on their memorable experiences

PATIENCE OZOKWOR (MAMA G)

It was in 2004 that I toured with Ehizoya Golden Entertainment and it is like yesterday that I remember vividly all that transpired during the tour. It was my first time in Germany. I toured with Jim Iyke and Basket Mouth. It was also their first time in Germany.

I also recall meeting the popular blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus. Stella had called me from Germany asking why I had not remarried and I told her my children say no. She argued with me on phone and we later cut off. I never met her before.

Nominations for the 17th edition will be announced on September 30, 2021.

Read here the blow by blow account of how it went down as reported by FRED IWENJORA who was in Frankfurt, Germany. 

Pulling off the recent 2Face concert in Frankfurt would count as a major achievement of Isaac Izoya, founder and director of Nollywood Film Festival Germany NFFG and Nollywood Europe Golden Awards NEGA.
Rumours had been circulating that the Afrobeats legend would not show up at the Gala Night of the twin events ostensibly because he was indisposed.
Even when 2Baba Idibia (aka 2Face Idibia) had already arrived Frankfurt and checked into his room at the 5-star Marriott Hotel and video recordings of his arrival in Germany had gone viral on social media, doubting Thomases were still unconvinced.
