The biggest thing in African TV, or anyone with a GOTV decoder like myself, on Saturday night was the screening of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) 2015. The AMVCAs usually hosted in Lagos, Nigeria are the hottest property and everyone who is everyone in the entertainment industry on the continent watches to see what everyone else is doing.

This year came at a very special time. Nigeria is currently in election mode as they look to vote for their new or old president. At such a time, you won’t be surprised to hear that many of the awards remained at the host country.

After the awards, proving that writers can never be considered boring by any estimation, Diekoye Oyeyinka joined the festivities at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island. Oyeyinka is the author of East African Educational Publishers title Stillborn (My review). Below is also evidence of his writer type talk.

Here are some of the images of the fun having.

We's just clowing y'all
We’s just clowing y’all
Lagos is where its at.
