I said [the apprentice]] sucks, and you expect me to be watching it and keeping track? Its as simple as this. The show sends the unrealistic message that there's always a clear winner and loser in business.

there is aquestion of what to do with the N3,000,000 prize money and honestly,i do not know what to write because the usuals are 1. Further Education----about N1.8m(tuition)RGU so nothing is left

2.Investment in what with 3m

PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT AS I WILL SCREEN IN PHC

I think the apprentice is very real-life and also entertaining.This nigerian thingy on the other hand is pure WAYO methinks. I considered registering but when I came to the line in the advert that said "GO AND PAY YOUR MONEY' alarm bells rang in my head.I went to the apprentice website and saw where they had stolen the format for their requirements.Needless to say,I became instantly disinterested.

It's called The Apprentice in the US and UK.

So has this show started?

hmmm the show was suppose to start running from Friday 14th July 06. So whats up folks. something is fishing dont u think? Voting is supposed to have started. what is going on here? i hope EFCC knows about this. why do people like swindling in this ciuntry. why take advantage of the situation in this country for crying out loud. if u ahve paid for this show be sure u know what u are doing ooo. they are quite "funny". if u think otherwise then tell me, when is it starting plsssssssssss

Tianshie i agree with u. Na pure NIGERIAN WAYO OOOO. my people watch out ooo. so many people want to be rich not minding what it costs others.

Well, it looks like this show finally took off. Is anybody watching? I would like to hear people's comments about the show please.

Has it really started? Wow, I've been missing. Guess the publicity isn't what it should be.

i was on the screening, however, i must confess they Were tough on us but its OK, the only disappointing thing was the fact they themselves are not coordinated, imagine them getting in touch with people a night to the day of screening, yet after all they have been postponing the kick off of the show, sometimes such organizer should ensure they themselves are well prepared for such programs, and its also funny just 10 people would be selected, out of? hope my 3k was useful, all the best if it ever starts

the internshow is starting of today.the participants are in the business school rite now

8 pm fri, sat, sun.on NTA, SILVERBIRDS and AFRICAN MAGIC.

Did anyone see the show?

The interns are undergoing training right now.the real show starts next weekend.watch out and buy sunday THIS DAY.

Please what is the website?

It's www.internshow.com but is currently misconfigured.

well I just saw the intern on silverbird tonight . 9pm - 10pm on Friday. should be on saturday and sunday too.
It actually seemed interesting. Showing the 10 interns and all, when they were told they made it thru the screening,

also the website is still not updated yet,

at last the naija version of "the apprentice" is on the screens. So far, the pre-show scripting has been straight out of that Trump stuff. here's hoping the showmakers will get more innovative and make the show relevant to our peculiar realities, no pun intended.

I saw the show too on Friday immediately after Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.  I'm really loving it.  Too bad the show was so so delayed and the website is somewhat abandoned.

Well, it provides us an opportunity to make this thread a makeshift update link.  So who can help with the info of the 10 interns?

@ Bioye,

How come you know Dairo Kola's age? are you a B.U. person?

I know Folabi Adetola very well. He graduated from OAU, Ile-Ife in 2003 where he studies Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.

He is currently an Investment Analyst

We used to live in the same estate in Abeokuta.

He is surely a smart one.

I guess the show would be fun with Tade Ogidan as the producer, why y'all running your mouths.

well d show is really 4 real cos my bf is part of the crew and all and ive been there with him so 4 all u doubting thomases, the show is 4 real,

Christino:

@ Bioye,

How come you know Dairo Kola's age? are you a B.U. person?

I remembered his age easily because he is the youngest. What does B.U. mean, please?

Happy to know that Folabi is in already. I believe this guy needs the scholarship price more than anyone else. All the best my brother

reality show is a good thing for nigeria.

If I was to create my own business show, the prize will be a huge business loan. Loan! Here's why:
If the winner is worthy of the title, she'll be able to make a lot of money with the loan. She won't need an outright gift.

So, back to the Intern Show. When can I watch it on TV? What time, what channel? Thanks!
