On a brilliant Sunday, August 13, 2023, when the EMY Africa Awards Soiree took center stage, the bustling city of Lagos was turned into a place of elegance, success, and brilliance.
The major event took place at the opulent Mercedes-Benz Centre in the center of Victoria Island, where a who's who of corporate moguls, celebrities, creatives, and noteworthy individuals were among the invited guests. The event was more than simply a celebration of brilliance and a chance to network; it also featured a spellbinding show that enthralled the audience.
The EMY Africa Awards, which were started by the inspirational Kojo Soboh, have made history by recognizing outstanding African men. These people have sparked good change on the continent and beyond via their outstanding accomplishments and motivational efforts. The awards also give merited recognition to women who break convention and rewrite the rules.
The Lagos Soiree served as a precursor to the 8th Annual EMY Africa Awards, which will take place on October 14 in Accra, Ghana. The air was filled with an energizing energy that set the mood for the night's celebrations as the talks flowed like poetry throughout the romantic evening.
Both distinguished guests from Ghana and Nigeria brightened the event. The meeting was enlivened by the presence of people like Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong, Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD), Bovi Ugboma, Obi Asika, Michelle McKinney Hammond, Lanre Olusola, and Mawuli Gavor, to name a few.
"Bringing together such a diverse and successful group of people says a lot about the power of cooperation and common goals. The event's originator, Kojo Soboh, said, "This evening of celebration and excellence reinforces our commitment to honoring people who shape Africa's history via their remarkable achievements. 
Celebrating the pinnacle of achievement was the theme of the event, which was repeated in moving speeches by notables including Mary Ojulari, Managing Director of Mercedes Benz Nigeria, and Dr. Ernest Ofori Sarpong, Chairman of the Board for EMY Africa. The evening's spirit was captured in a fireside talk between Kojo Soboh and the bubbly Latasha Ngwube, the project's lead PR.
The event delivered on its promise of an exciting evening. The renowned magician Babs Cardini opened the evening with a spellbinding performance, which was followed by musical enchantment from Dapo Pelmar. Attendees enjoyed a feast prepared by Chef Tucker and an intimate portrait session by photographer Ngozi Eme.
