TO meet the yearning of Nigerians, SuperSport Wednesday announced that it has commenced the search for Pidgin commentator with the launching of “Follow Ya Mouth.”

Speaking at the official launching of the initiative in Lagos Wednesday, General Manager of SuperSport West Africa, Felix Awogu, said it became imperative to use the popular language that every Nigerian understands, adding that this was what inspired the idea.

“We are looking for Nigerians, who can play with typical pidgin words on air and are also passionate about the league. It promises to be a unique experience for every participant,” Awogu said.

Being the first of its kind in Nigeria, the exercise will provide the winner the opportunity to run commentary on the Glo Premier League, which he said now, boasts several stars in the Super Eagles.

He said that auditions would hold in Lagos and Port Harcourt for participants within 21-36 years of age.

According to him, contestants are expected to demonstrate versatility and command of Pidgin English.

He however, said that the eventual winner would be offered a one-year contract by the organisation.

The panel of judges would be chaired by ace sports commentator, Deji Omotoyinbo, while others are Chinedu Ani (Nedu of Wazobia FM) and Tega Onojaife.

The best six contestants from each audition will progress to the next round, where they will be housed in Lagos for a week to undergo mentoring and training before the grand finale that will produce the winner.
