COSON Song Awards For Network TV Broadcast

The thrills, frills and razzmatazz of the full package of the much talked about COSON Song Awards held in May in Lagos will be seen by millions of TV viewers across Nigeria soon. Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) which hosted the ground breaking event is making final arrangements for the telecast across different television networks so that people all over Nigeria and beyond can see the spectacle that has been described by many using different superlatives.



Speaking about the long awaited telecast, COSON General Manager, Mr Chinedu Chukwuji, said:
"I am confident to say that the COSON Song Awards is not like any other award event ever held anywhere. There might have been two or three thousand persons lucky to have been at Lagos Oriental Hotel and who saw the COSON Song Awards live. Every other Nigerian owes it to himself to see this event which is a big statement in the history of creative productions and pain staking organization around the world.
"The approach is educative and informative. It is gripping, highly explosive and massively entertaining".
Mr. Efe Omorogbe, CEO of Nowmuzik and manager of 2Face Idibia, Dammy Krane and Seyi Shay, all of whom performed at the COSON Song Awards, said of the event, "Every Nigerian should get a DVD copy of the event. In my job, I have travelled around the world several times over and seen shows of all kinds, I am yet to see a show like the COSON Song Awards so intricately woven with nostalgia and history and soaked in high octane entertainment. It is clearly different. I am proud that the top artistes that I manage took part in the show. To think that the COSON Song Awards was designed and presented by a completely Nigerian team is something that every Nigerian ought to be proud of. No one should miss the broadcast."

Top singer, Azeezat who witnessed the event said, "Truly, the only way to describe the COSON Song Awards is wow! Chief Tony Okoroji who produced this event has redrawn the map and redefined the way such an event is choreographed. Anyone planning such events in future must first watch the COSON Song awards and then think deeply. The stage, the lights, the music, the narrative and the integration of the different elements are breath taking. The COSON Song Awards is a collector’s item and a piece of history and I cannot wait to have a DVD copy for keeps."

Mr Patrick Doyle Jnr, one if the four crack video editors and animators who worked night and day for months to put together the spectacle that is the COSON Song Awards, said, ’I have watched the video of the COSON Song Awards and I am very proud of what we have done. Working with Chief Tony Okoroji is an experience like no other. He has a prodigious creative ability, never satisfied and simply tireless. He will break every existing production rule and create his own. He is not afraid to try previously untried ideas. He asks you to do something and at first thought what he has asked you to do is impossible. He will ask you to do it any way. Nearly all the time, he is right. With him, nothing is impossible! He is a master at assembling a large team and inspiring the team to achieve heights the members thought were unachievable. You cannot work with a man like that without your perspective changing. Mine has. I have never had to work so hard on any project in my life. I cannot wait for the reaction of Nigerians when they see the COSON Song Awards on TV. I believe that we have made history!’
