Since the 9th Edition of the awards , there has been subaudible public uproar regarding the host country of the 10th landmark ceremony as it was rumoured that South Africa has been bidding to host the event for quite sometime . AMAA officials did n't issue any statement on the rumours until December 2013 when the founder , Peace Anyiam Osigwe came out at a Lagos press briefing on 19 December 2013 and stated " you will hear from me on January 1 " . It was later revealed that both South Africa and Malawi have been bidding to host the event , but Osigwe stated that it was turned down as it would be difficult to tell the Nigerian people that the 10th AMAA ceremony will be held outside Nigeria
