Channel O awards 2008 winners + the 1st MAMAs - Mtv Africa Music Awards 2008 nominees

Ok people, the awards finally went down with the hosts looking right as expected. And a couple of ours took the awards for their categories. As y'all can see, i came through for Ikechukwu's "Wind am well" video...lol...all my voting must've meant something. P-Square did right with Best Duo/group Video category and the Video of the year category too. Nice one to KC Presh and MTrill as well as all the other winners too. I knew Freshlyground were winning for "Pot belly", nice ass song and video. Dunno if y'all will forgive me for this but i think P-Square have other videos that kill "Do me". For goodness sakes "No One like you" and my personal favorite, "More than a friend", well, those are my personal opinions. Does anyone agree with me? The list of winners below...

Best Male Video: Ikechukwu - Wind Am Well
Best Female Video: Lizha James - Nita Mukuma Kwini
Best Newcomer Video: Buffalo Souljah - Bubble Your Bumz
Best Duo/group Video: P-Square - Do Me
