The 3rd edition of Exclusive Men Of The Year Africa Awards also known as the EMY Africa Awards took place on Saturday the 18th of August 2018, at the Kempinski Goldcoast Hotel. The annual father’s day related event recognizes and celebrates men and fathers of steel and zeal, whose passion and dedication has rolled out major landmarks in the development of various industries and society.
The hosts for this year’s event were Selly Galley on the red-carpet and Nataniel Attoh for the main event. There were performances from Nigeria’s Simi as well as Daddy Lumba, Trigmatic and others. While the event focuses on men’s achievements, it’s the women’s take over of the red carpet that caught our attention.
