The event was hosted by the US Mission to honor the 15th Annual Headies Music Awards, which will be held for the first time in Atlanta later this year.
Ambassador Leonard explained that the choice of Atlanta to host the Headies symbolizes the growing relationship between the music industries in the United States and Nigeria and the growing popularity of Nigerian music in the United States. “This year’s Headies awards will highlight the growing U.S.-Nigeria ties and the vast potential of Nigerian musicians as cultural exporters to the African continent and beyond,” she said.
Ambassador Leonard noted that cultural exchange advances US-Nigeria strategic partnership by forging lasting ties between American and Nigerian artists and shining a spotlight on the vibrant creative community in Nigeria and the United States. “The U.S. government has long recognized the role of music in diplomacy, with its emphasis on free expression, improvisation, and democratic and collaborative teamwork. Sharing music is one of the best ways to find common ground with people on an exchange program. The appeal of music is truly universal,” Ambassador Leonard added.
There's an animal called loafer. Always busy but does no visible work at the end of the day. Oil & water cannot mix. It is a charades to teach US-Nigeria Cultural ties. Go and do your research. There's nothing like Nigerian culture. It is either one ethnic culture or the other.
