Hosted by country music superstar and coach on TheVoice, Blake Shelton, the awards were broadcast from the “Fabulous” Forum in Inglewood, California, as kids from all over the world celebrated the best of everything they love in pop culture.
The Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards premieres on Nickelodeon (DStv channel 305) and Nicktoons (DStv channel 308) at 16:30 CAT on Wednesday 16 March 2016.
Nigerian entertainment blogger and media star Uche Pedro, founder of Bella Najia, won the “Best Blogger – Africa” category at the awards. Uche beat fellow bloggers Sylvia Kamau (“Style by Sylvia” - Kenya),Aisha Baker (“Baked the Blog” - South Africa)and Theodora Lee (“Theodora Lee” - South Africa)to take home a coveted KCA‘blimp’ trophy. Uche and her fellow nominees Sylvia, Aisha and Theodora flew into the US a few days ago to attend the star-studded event.
Uche Pedro says , “Wow! This is such an amazing moment for me and the BellaNaija brand.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.”
This year's festivities kicked off with Shelton getting hosting pep talks from celebrity friends including Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez, Chewbacca and BB-8. After being alerted that the Stormtroopers were trying to take over the 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards,Shelton jumped into action and battled his way onto the show stage via a super-charged chair from The Voice.
During the show, singer-songwriter Charlie Puth and hip-hop star Wiz Khalifaperformed a medley of “One Call Away” and “See You Again”, right before taking home the blimp for “Favourite Collaboration”. RapperSilento appeared the night of Kids’ Choice Awards to sing his mega-hit “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae),” and DNCE closed the show with a performance of their chart-topping single “Cake by the Ocean” that culminated with an ultimate slime dousing of the audience.
The 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards proved to be a mega slime fest, from kids in the audience awarding Shelton with an epic finale sliming, to Jace Norman dumping a bucket of green goo on John Stamos, to Fifth Harmony getting drenched after their win for Favourite Music Group, andShelton welcoming Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad to the green side.
This year’s show put the power of choice in the hands of kids at home with an interactive digital experience like never before. Kids had the opportunity to choose what happened live during the show by casting votes to see four different outrageous moments play out: Shelton and Norman prankingDNCE with toilet paper in their dressing room; CameronDallas getting super soaked in slime; Shelton donning a unicorn outfit; and the stage environment changing to underwater.

ReplyDeleteYh am calling u out, u dint help her campaign yet u can announce just to spite someone! U r so full of shit, this ass licking bvs will never say d truth! If u don't change ur ways, God help u b on top, u v a mean hrt towards oda bloggers, so far u dint campaign for her, u can shove ur congrats into ur bleached ass! If u like don't post it. Smello
ReplyDeleteShe was d first to help her campaign before d other bloggers did. Y d hate for Stella? It's because she don't wait to copy Wat others do or because she knows Wat to do at d right time without waiting for others opinion?
DeleteWho be dis one again?
DeleteWetin you smoke abeg?
Lord have mercy! Such bitterness and anger! Mmmmmmmm! Purge yourself of this hatred or watch out how you will start 'eating' yourself. Bitter soul. Anu mpama.
DeleteMeanwhile, Stella don't know why you keep enabling such stupid and sick comment. Imagine the ezi ohia!
Meanwhile Congratulations to Uche Pedro, keep winning.
Maybe if you were not filled wih bitterness you will know she helped her campaign. Dont kill yourself. Its her blog. She can do what she likes.

ReplyDeleteA very big one to Bellanaija she leads other follows.I recall i started a blog just about the sametime with famous bloggers now based on inspiration we got from her blog but chicken out cos of fear intrusion to my privacy as i was working then and a higherly ethical job at that but i give it to others for keeping afloat.Bella we all love you and your simplicity
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!!! Congrats uche! I voted for you and am happy for this outcome.
ReplyDeletewell, congrats. but..most of the posts on her blog are done by others.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Uche
ReplyDeleteCongrats Uche.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Uche Pedro! Congrats my darling, you deserve the award and recognition.
ReplyDeletePraying for Stella and Linda next year. Love all my hardworking ladies.
Congrats Uche. U deserve this.
ReplyDeleteStella that award u collected is paining linda ikeji ooh. Seriousely she wants to start doing wat u do here. She wants to giv five hundred k to a woman that carries block in an uncompleted building in fb. She copied d comment like u do inhouse. She now knows she is affecting lives bfore wen all she does is show case designer shoe and bags.
ReplyDeleteLater the same people praising stella will pull her down so I hope doesn't listen to u hypocrites.
DeleteFaceless idiot that's what you are. Leave them alone to do their thing.
DeleteShut up stupid bitch... Linda has always done give aways...
DeleteAfterall, my votes were not in vain
ReplyDeleteIs nikolodeon not supposed to be for children's programs?
ReplyDeletePeople keep hating on Linda, Anonymous 18:33 who told you the award is paining her? You people keep talking about negative vibes but won't stop directing it whenever it doesn't suit you. I can tell you when Linda thought of "I'd rather be self made" she wasn't thinking of overshadowing Stella.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing you should also have in mind is, if someone copies a good deed, celebrate that person. Stella is doing her best to help the needy and so is Linda. Do you know how many people have money more than these women? How many of them have tried to even do "eye service" by helping? If only other people "competed" in helping people, even if it is for their own gain, as long as no one is hurt. Stop trying to bring people down. It's not worth it.
Aah some peeps can be so disrespectful... I've been following the comment section for years now but I seriously need to say you guys have to stop comparing Lind To Stella nd vice versa on their blogs.If you don't like someone don't go peeping.Respect these bloggers by keeping your comparisons to yaslves.
