HEADIES 2013: FULL LIST OF WINNERS & PHOTOS - OLAMIDE, NIKKI LAOYE, SEAN TIZZLE, PHYNO & WAJE.

 The Headies...the prestigious and most anticipated awards that the entire Nigerian Music Industry waits for every year..has now come and gone. Tagged the Nigerian Grammy Awards, The Headies 2013 held on the 26th of December at the Grand Ball Room, Oriental Hotel.

Kicking off from 7pm with the black carpet, it was quite surprising to see artistes and celebrities show up pretty early to strut their stuff in front of the cameras.

Hosted by Mavin label mates, Tiwa Savage & Dr Sid, the show kicked off at about 10pm with performances by Yemi Alade, Seyi Shay, Waje, Praiz, Olamide, Davido, Phyno & Imagnito Dance Company.

Top winners of the night include Olamide with the highest win of 3 awards and Sean Tizzle picked up the car keys as the Next Rated winner. Davido and Phyno got two awards each and Waje got the Best Reggae/Dancehall single.

 The shocker of the night was the unexpected win by petite singer, Nikki Laoye ,who won the Best Vocal Performance(Female) for her ballad,Only You... a very competitive category with top vocalists including herself, Waje, Seyi Shay, Niyola & Zaina.

 Nikki burst into tears at the mention of her name and made the most memorable speech ever heard at any awards as she dedicated the award to her father's memory.  A fantastic comeback for the soul singer who was nominated in this same category in 2009 alongside Omawumi and Waje as well as the HipHop World Revelation category alongside MI, Banky W & Naeto C. This would be her third nomination.

A lovely night yet with the usual glitches that plague Nigerian events...no surprises there.

The event was aired live to viewers at home on HipTV.
