The Exclusive Men of the Year Awards [EMYAFRICA] ceremony, held on Sunday, celebrated distinguished men across various fields who are committed to societal progress in sectors including industry, community, culture, and public service.
Invited guests donned their finest attire to honor and acknowledge the diligent men who have made significant contributions to society. Including performances by Afrobeats Afropo and high-life artist KiDi, who got the whole auditorium on their feet to dance, Nigeria’s Chike, and Ghanaian singer, songwriter, and actress Becca. Afrodancehall sensation Stonebwoy, who also took home the EMY Africa ‘Man of the Year’ for Music, made an unexpected late-stage visit to surprise the ultimate ‘Man of the Year’ winner, Dr. James Condua Orleans-Lindsay.
