Published

9 years ago

16th October 2017

LOCKDOWN ENTERTAINMENT is proud to unveil the official logo for The 9th ANNUAL SOUTH SOUTH MUSIC AWARDS (SSMA 2017).

The prestigious Award event will take place in Benin City and will see much of home grown contents and talents on display. This is to ensure that we do not stray from the birthing concept of exposing, honoring and celebrating the ever growing talents that abound in the South South region. The theme is FOR THE GLORY OF THE HOMELAND.

This year’s edition is special to us for a couple of reasons. First, is our partnership the most classy and reputable hospitality brand in the region, The very prestigious RANDEKHI HOTELS (@randekhigold). As a result of this partnership, the brand new state-of-the-arts EKINADOESE EVENT HALL inside The RANDEKHI GOLD HOTEL will be the venue of this year’s event. Thereby raising the class and standard of the SSMA.

Secondly, we are deeply excited to announce the sponsorship of The Best New Artist category by Edo-born International Super Star, CYNTHIA MORGAN (icynthiamorgan) through her CYNTHIA MORGAN FOUNDATION. The CYNTHIA MORGAN FOUNDATION is sponsoring the Award Category with the sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND NAIRA as one of her ways of giving back to the home industry and supporting every exceptionally gifted young talent in the region and also the growth of the SSMA platform.

And also as exciting is our partnership with one of the leading brand names in the region’s nitelife, NOVONIA PRIVE (@clubnovonia) , our host partner for The SSMA 2017 Pre-Party and After-Party.

In response to the yearnings and desires of various groups/factions of the music-related industry practitioners, we have introduced THREE new categories to the list. They are:

1. MOST OUTSTANDING NITELIFE OUTFIT

2. PERSONALTY OF THE YEAR

3. MOST OUTSTANDING DISC JOCKEY

This is an acknowledgement of the roles of personalities whose work behind the scene impacts the industry positively. Such efforts need to be recognized and celebrated. As we proceed, given available resources, we shall include more categories to cater for every sector of the industry.

Events and activities are schedulled as follows:

26th of October– Nominations

For the past five years, Mc Larry J has stood out as one of Nigeria’s most passionate advocates for family, love, and togetherness — not just through laughter, but through purpose-driven events that cut across generations. From Lagos to London, his annual celebrations for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and his signature comedy showcases have grown into soul-lifting gatherings that create shared moments, heal hearts, and strengthen family ties.

This Sunday, June 15, 2025, he invites everyone once again to The Covenant Nation, Lekki for a heartfelt Father’s Day Celebration like no other — a free event packed with joyful experiences and unforgettable memories.

What began as a mission to spread joy through humor has evolved into a powerful movement where music, art, and comedy become tools of unity. Mc Larry J is more than just a host; he’s a cultural bridge builder — consistently bringing together families, friends, and entire communities in spaces where they can laugh, reflect, and celebrate the people who matter most.

With an all-star lineup featuring Beejaysax, Akpororo, Khemmiesings, Damola, and more, the event promises an electrifying mix of music, comedy, worship, and dance, all designed to honor the fathers, mentors, and father figures who’ve shaped our lives.

“They have given us so much. It is time to give something back,” Mc Larry J shares. “This celebration is a small token of our appreciation — and a reminder that fatherhood, in all its forms, deserves to be seen, celebrated, and applauded.”

LarryJ also added that the event is not just for fathers but also for mothers who have sons and want them to become role model fathers in the future.

Event Details:

Date: Sunday, June 15, 2025
