I just want to say thank you to the Bella Naija for helping Nigerian bloggers! Because her achievement has shined the light on us, we are so happy for her. The much anticipated Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2016 held last night in Los Angeles and quite a number of stars went home with awards, including BellaNaija.com founder and CEO Uche Pedro for Best African Blogger. She thanked the BellaNaija team, her family and the supportive BN readers –
Wow! This is such an amazing moment for me and the BellaNaijabrand.
Thank you to my husband Bode, our wonderful children and our families. BellaNaijarians and BellaNaija team – we made it! Thank you for all the votes and positive vibes.Thanks Nickelodeon for the opportunity and to my fellow nominees, you are an inspiration! To everyone out there with a dream, this is a testimony to never give up, be a rebel with a purpose and vision.”
Uche was nominated alongside fellow bloggers Silvia Kamau Njoki (“Style by Sylvia” – Kenya), Aisha Baker (“Baked the Blog” – South Africa) and Theodora Lee (“Theodora Lee” – South Africa) .
