As the second leg of the three-part series of Wale Olomu Memorial Awards and Roundtable (WOMA-R) comes on air this Saturday, December 16, 2023 on TopRadio 90.9 FM, the Steering Committee, led by Tokunbo Ojekunle, has unveiled the first set of WOMA awardees.

The inaugural on-air award ceremony held last Saturday (December 9) had the following enthusiastically receiving the WOMA Special Recognition Awards (SRA): Zubby Enebeli (in backup vocals), Amos McRoy (instrumentation), Kayode Samuel (artiste management) and Mike Nliam (movie soundtracks).

According to Ojekunle, the next WOMA presentations on the two-hour ‘The Vintage Talkshow’ programme continue this Saturday (December 16) with six SRAs and one Lifetime Achievement Award, apart from the Roundtable Chats. The last chat had Chief Tony Okoroji fielding questions from the US on artistes’ relationships with music labels, and the challenges of collecting royalties from digital sources.

This week’s roundtable discussants are: Mr. Obi Asika (music label owner, and co-founder of Social Media Week Lagos); Daddy Fresh (award-winning dancehall ace, and entertainment activist); and Mr. Kayode Samuel (well-travelled music promoter, producer, artiste manager, songwriter, and filmmaker).

The WOMA moments would be broadcast live on TopRadio 90.9 FM and simultaneously via Facebook, YouTube and Zoom platforms; while efforts are ongoing to increase the broadcast spectrum and coverage. Further information on the award scheme can be sourced at [email protected]
