Press Briefing On ANAN 2014 AWARDS

With the fuse about the ALL NIGERIAN AWARDS NORTH CYPRUS popularly known as ANAN, we decided to conduct a press briefing with the CEO of OfHand Entertainment which is the host of the awards, he gave us a brief explanation on the preparations and accomplishment of the award, starting from 2012 when the ASGA AWARDS which is the award for all Africans in North Cyprus. Nigerians being the most populated, he decided to come up with the idea that we should have an award for Nigerians, and the company came up with the First Edition in 2013 which was a test run and the official First Edition is the 19th of December 2014 which involves the lifestyle and entertainment for occupants in North Cyprus

Questions where thrown and answered below,

Q: Words on the streets say the awards are for you and your family members, what do you have to say about that?

A: People would complain, but we threw out the nominations to the public, so basically its a people"s choice award, what they chose had a criteria and were screen.

Q: How transparent are your mediums to monitor the vote?

A: Issues were raised in the past where we were confronted saying people won the vote  in a cunning way but ANAN awards has a statement which is CREDIBILITY, the systems of voting and nomination are online, there's an algorithm that monitors and keeps count, the last time there we used a system of IP addresses but this year has been stepped up, which is being monitored by Google, which would be difficult even for us organizers to manipulate.

Q: We've had nominees complain about the categories they fall in.

A: Reality Check, humans are bound to complain, its the public opinion that counts, now people should understand the award for 2014 is being judged from the activities of everyone from 28th of December 2013 till date, basically every nominee is a winner. I think people are mixing the words PROMISING and UPCOMING.

Promising means you have a future in what you're doing. So in the promising category it basically means what people are looking up to.

Q: You have an artist that's also in a few categories, can you clarify on that?

A:  Lets be realistic OfHand Entertainment doesn't just deal with artist management, we have a lot of things doing, every artist is doing great on the island and is eligible to contest but on a sincere note, my artist was told we would not and will not be part of his publicity for the awards, its based on his own fan base for the voting.

Q: So what do we expect in general?

A: You have to expect something big and massive because we OfHand Entertainment love to stay at the top so we hope to give you the best.

Thanks Mr Jubril
