One year after Nigeria\u2019s nominees, P-Square and reggae artiste Prince Wadada, won at the 2010 edition of KORA, they are yet to be paid their monetary prize.<\/p>\n

While P-Square was voted the Artistes of the year with a million dollars (N150m) in prize money attached, Prince Wadada won as the Best reggae artiste of the year plus twenty thousand dollars (N3m).<\/p>\n

Jude Engees, elder brother and producer of P-Square videos who smiled home with the video producer award and twenty thousand dollars (N3m) in prize money is also yet to receive his monetary gift.<\/p>\n

Apart from the money, the winners are also yet to receive a dime from the organisers of the awards after they were contracted to play at a command performance in honour of President Blaise Campaore whose country Burkina Faso hosted the controversial awards in Ouagadougou.<\/p>\n

Prince Wadada, the first Nigerian musician to win in that category and who was at awards held at the Burkinabe capital, told Showtime that \u201cit is an unfortunate situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president of KORA Mr. Ernest Adjovi, assured us that the prize money would be remitted to us as soon as they tidied up loose ends after the awards. One year after, he is still tying up loose ends.<\/p>\n

The last time I met with Mr. Adjovi was in Cotonou the Benin Republic capital where I\u2019d played on the same stage with Akon and as usual it was promise as usual. But these days when I call, he won\u2019t pick my calls,\u201d the dread locked wearing musician lamented to Showtime.<\/p>\n

Asked if his colleagues P-Sqaure may have been paid without his knowledge, Wadada said \u201cIt\u2019s impossible for them to have been paid without my knowledge. I picked their awards on their behalf because they were not there on the night of the awards. We played together at the command performance and we returned to Nigeria together. So there is no way they could have been paid without my knowledge\u201d he posited.<\/p>\n

Is he contemplating legal actions yet? No he told Showtime.<\/p>\n

KORA awards organisers are in court with the government of Cross-River State after they (organisers) breeched on agreement and venue of the 2009 edition by moving the venue of the event from Calabar the Cross River State capital to Lagos.<\/p>\n

This also explained why the organisers moved the awards to Burkina Faso after all efforts to resolve the crisis failed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
