Could this be a joke or something prepared and planned for enough time?
Don't even get me started on the illiterate guy who scribbled words across the base of the trophy. Overall,it was one huge,terrible joke.
And then some multi-millionaire philanthropist came to the rescue vowing to not just buy better trophies for the Coastal artists but also REPEAT the whole Awards Ceremony afresh... From the top.
Yes,it did cost him millions to buy the gold-splashed awards,hire out the entire venue,book performances,bring together a team of organizers,book an MC,hire a powerful sound system,provide transportation and allowances for the celebs,book hotel rooms for his entourage, etc etc but still,he had to do it. And he did do it.
Why in the world would you bring a wooden stick for good people to fight over it as an award to be won?
If you didn't have suponsors then you wouldnt have wasted your time orgainising such an ashaming event and wasting peoples time to come and watch or attend a kids play thing for learners.
Its great to atleast hear someone coming in to save us from the big shame you had put us in.
And now,a week after the initial awards,which were organized by some not-so-smart kids, Joe Kariuki decided to make the Awards as glitzy,glamorous,gorgeous and memorable as Awards should be.
Last Friday,Coastal celebrities and businessmen,politicians and fans gathered in large numbers at the swanky Azure Lounge for a second edition of the Mombasa Awards.
It was pure pomp and glamor as the local celebs took to the plush red carpet and later to the podium to be re-awarded with much better and more alluring trophies made of special metals and irons and coated with sprinklings of Gold and diamonds.
The dazzling event lasted the whole night with many electrifying performances by the Coastal artists,beautiful speeches,much laughter and pomp,and with Joe closing out the glitzy night in a style only an endowed rich kid can.See what happenend there.
At last,trophies that will last the test of time. And trophies you would definitely want your Mom to see. And hold.
