BON Awards
The much-anticipated awards for the movie industry in Nigeria, the Best Of Nollywood awards, brought alive Asaba, the Delta State capital, on Thursday.
The well-attended event, held at the spacious and popular event centre, The Dome, was attended by numerous Nigerian movie stars and celebrities.
It was indeed a night of fun and razzamatazz for movie buffs and all other stakeholders in the Nollywood industry as many of them in their hundreds thronged the oil rich city and hub of home videos to witness the 2013 edition of the awards.
The Nollywood practitioners and industry watchers, who attended epoch making event, testified that the fifth edition, hosted and sponsored by the Delta State Government, is the biggest of them all.

The build-up to the grand finale of the BON awards started from Lagos and went on to Rivers State where a lecture and pre-award diner were held respectively.
What added panache and style to the award night was the special recognition awards by the Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduhagan, for Nollywood icons, Pete Edochie and Lanre Hassan, better known as Iya Awero.
BON, in their usual style, kicked off the event with the longest red carpet show, which commenced from the Governor’s Lodge on Okparanam Road, Asaba, to The Dome, the venue of the award ceremony. At the long red carpet session, several actors, actresses, directors, producers and several other movie practitioners were seen taking pictures, exchanging pleasantries, granting interviews and engaged in a procession on the long red carpet to the venue.
It was indeed a day the Lord had made for all the elated actors, nominees and winners at the ceremony.
Leading the pack of entertainers was Gbenga Adeyinka, who anchored the event.
Top comedians, I Go Die, I Go Save, also thrilled the audience with their rib-cracking jokes.
The performance of MTN Project 2010 winner, Timi Dakolo, was one of the high points of the event, as he held the audience spellbound.
Speaking at the event, the Executive Producer, BON Awards, Seun Oloketuyi, said Asaba has,
Literally, become the home of Nollywood movies, with a record of 1,000 movies produced yearly in Asaba and its environ.

“We hope it will be here for subsequent editions.”
Oloketunyi thanked the Delta State Commissioner for Tourism, Richard Mofe Damijo, a veteran actor, who worked tirelessly and ensured that this year’s event was successful.
