Lagos|Nigeria October 16 2012 Nigeria’s biggest music stars are getting ready to shine this weekend as the country’s biggest music honours event The Headies, is set to roll with full pomp and electricity.
With the big nominees including international superstars D’Banj, Psquare, Sarkodie, Wizkid, 2face as well as hit-makers Davido, Ice Prince, Naeto C, Iyanya and many others getting ready for the big day, organisers say Lagosians should brace up for a world class event, befitting of our home made super stars.

The pre event activities, comprising Veterans Night and a special CSR project, HELP THE CHILDREN, are all part of an exciting line up of events leading to the much-anticipated 2012 edition of The Headies.
Ayo Animashaun, Chief Executive Officer of Hip Hop World and executive producer of The Headies Awards noted that, "The Headies is not only about rewarding deserving artistes, it has been responsive to our society in many ways. One new way it intends to do so this year is its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project tagged Help The Children which aims to bring succour to less privileged Nigerian children who are suffering from a prevalence of unclean water, low food supplies and diseases such as malaria, pneumonia, measles, whooping cough, tetanus and tuberculosis
“For over seven years, The Headies has been widely recognized as an awards platform renowned for breaking uncharted grounds since its emergence in the Nigerian entertainment scene. The Headies recognizes, appreciates and celebrates outstanding talents of the Nigerian music industry who, through their exceptional talents, efforts and struggles, have brought the music industry to a place of honour and esteem acknowledged even far beyond the shores of Nigeria,” he concluded.
