The Hyundai Mercury Prize - previously known as the Mercury Music Prize - is an award given each year for the best album from the United Kingdom and Ireland as chosen by an anonymous panel of judges. It was established in 1992.

This year, the award included £25,000 prize money and the ceremony took place on September 15th at Hammersmith Apollo, a few days before Skepta's 34th birthday.  He won for his 2016 album Konnichiwa. 

 ....

In 2015, the shortlist for the Mercury Prize included another Nigerian-British artiste that you'll love: Ghostpoet.  His 2015 album Shedding Skin is gorgeous.  As is his voice.  And everything about the music. 

Recent winners of the Mercury prize include PJ Harvey and James Blake.

Remember Ebola? #93Days in 2014

There's a film, 93 Days, about Nigeria's brief encounter with the contagious disease.
Excited?  

When Patrick Sawyer a Liberian American collapses upon arrival at the Murtala Mohammed International airport, Lagos - Nigeria, he is taken to First Consultant Hospital, where he is admitted with fever-like symptoms.  Against his denials of contact with any Ebola victim in Liberia, the team at first consultant led by Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh quickly deduce there is more to his case than malaria. Their vigilance leads to an early detection that Mr Sawyer indeed had the Ebola Virus disease. 

--

Now it’s a race against time to contain a deadly disease from breaking out and infecting an entire city population and beginning what could be the biggest deadly disease outbreak the world has ever known.
The scare is palpable across the country. The doomsday scenario imagined is here. Over a 93-day period from when Sawyer comes in men and women from Nigeria, WHO and MSF do battle with this deadly disease. 

--

At its core, 93 Days is a compelling human story of dedication, sacrifice, resilience and survival.
