Mixed reactions have trailed the decision of the organizers of the headies awards to hold the award ceremony in the US
Daniel Regha, a popular Twitter influencer raised the issue while others joined in the discussion. Here are the reactions
“The Headies organisers deciding to hold the 2022 awards in USA actually makes no sense to me; Why move the award ceremony to another continent entirely? It seems like the organisers are seeking validation which is belittling. We underrate our nation Nigeria and Africa a lot.

“You mean no single state is safe to host the headies in Nigeria but the socialite that attended Emoney’s birthday were feeling safe and happy. Come on, safety is not an odd here”
“@DanielRegha why won’t they move have Nigeria not underrated its self already? We don’t value our own citizens talk more of award shows,is Nigeria safe? Small thing people shoot gun no value again people don’t want to drink water or eat in Nigeria again because it have cast.”
“They are only trying to give it a wider audience, that’s what I think sha. It doesn’t matter if they do it here or in another Continent, as far as it is a Nigerian award show.”
“We are also part of the problems. African Union will have African summits in Brussels, FG will sign bills in UK, First Lady will celebrate birthday in Dubai, Now headies is heading for the US. The entire country is in disarray. Who did this to Nigeria?”
“I totally agree with this. Africans are always seeking western validations.
And when they (Western world) don’t respect them they go about shouting “Racism”
Imagine the USA bring Grammy to host in Nigeria.”
“Nothing like belittling here, the organisers must have their aim why it is taken to USA, even our arts sells much more better out there and to me I feel they want to keep pushing the Nigerian artists to the world space and showcase talents.I pray it comes out best.”
