The Apprentice Africa

@traez I think I loff this one although am vexed it's only shown ONCE A WEEK - enough time for EDITING!!!

@ sirwebs it seems the 2-man advantage really annoyed B.S and Zulu's P.M's attitude didn't show any sign of remorse. his excuse that he was a "listening manager" made me pity him the more - why? The last two PM's sent off argued to save their post but they were eventually sent packing. This guy just decided to take on the "siddon look" style instead of saving his face.

BS should talk to 'em with more courtesy rather than speeding 'em up like them be pikin

It's quite funny the 'backstabbing' gals won this task - thanks to their MARKETING POWER!

Yes o. I still believe Zulu deserved to win sha. That Matrix clique no just get demselves. I guess it was a good breather for them sha make e no be like say them dey winchi them.
 Zulu abeg fire them yansh today!!

Zulu won but they had their pm was a female Kathleen. it was really interresting. task was at eko hotel. read the rest of the story here The Apprentice africa. Omar was fired!

update: the show is in episode 4 now. the website is www.theapprenticeafrica.com. the website is usally about a week behind so that the rest of africa can catch up but if you want recent update as it is happening this is the place to go: The Apprentice africa

he was such an autocratic leader and he didnt really do much, just dishing out orders. he deserved to be fired.

perhaps you never know your style of leadership until you become one. he seemed to me a good team member.  .  . but I really do not understand why all the Project Managers depart one after the other - is it a JINX?

B.S should stop eliminating the leaders like that.  Poor Omar, never
liked the guy, but it was sad to see him exit so early. 

Soon, the teams will be develop phobia for leadership since if
your team fails to win, you almost automatically go home.

last week omar got d boot, i kind of saw it coming
he was busy ordering his team to do  this & that but really not doing much
i think he is more of a theoretical leader rather than a practical one

this week akatu was shown d door, saw that coming too
d guy was just too passive throughout d excercise & i think he had issues with tunde d leader which didn't help matters

i really like d program & i like the boss, a real businness man who knows d in's & out of business

I wonder what both teams were really thinking when they designed the adverts. the drum thing was just way out! anyway it was not a nigerian thing, afterall it was not the nigerians that designed the plot! Zulu was not unlucky they had crossed the lines too many times, filming in a no go area! I am sure the exec had that in mind too

for firing the young lady he fired in last nights episode mr shobanjo showed excessive levels of diminished mental reasoning. it was an advertorial task. any media person worth his salt knows that adverts have a 50-50 chance to swing either way. both adverts were great but one had to be picked.

The losing team----
the concept was great, the copy was semi-great but the person in charge reinforced that she called the attention of the project leader. the project leader had the integrity to accept the responsibility for the omission but he fires her anyway, why? because he asked her who was the weakest link in her team and mr shobanjo had a temporary brainwave that prevented him from understanding her reply, thinking she was too chicken to give up her fellow teammates when in actual fact she said "i take responsibility for the decisions that made us omit a key message in the copy".

please someone tell me if this retard is 7 years old that he can't interpret that to mean that she just said she was the weakest link? did she have to spell it out to him that "mr shobanjo i am the weakest link for him to understand that."

two members of the teams were absent which in itself already was an unfair boardroom trial.

the losing team had three people in the boardroom, the person in charge of the brilliant concept-----absolved

the girl in charge of research who called the attention of the team leader to the omission--absolved

the team leader---hard working and brimming with integrity--- it was a task well done, everyone worked hard and the leader knew and said as much Mr shobanjo fired her because he thought she was too scared to sling mud at her teammates,  what the twit didnt realize was that they was just no mud to sling PERIOD!!!!!

that coupled with the fact that two people were absent due to some mysterious illness and dudes------it was a perfect episode to NOT FIRE ANYONE, that was the best leadership decision there, donald trump did it, you never ever ever punish genuine and sincere integrity , but i guess mr shobanjo "the boss" takes orders from those PHB guys to fire one person a week else he'll be the one being told

you're fired.

The game seems kool but the idea at least so I think of firing the PM's only makes me sick, just don't pray for your team to lose or else for being the PM,
'You re fired' period.

Who's is the next PM ,  get ready to be fired as usual

@ apmis is it eunice?

@chukky76, y r u insulting d boss like that? calling him retard is too much don't u think?
i feel your pain though, almost all pm's r getting d boot
that is a worrying trend

so it seems the default thing now more or less is that the team leader/project manager gets fired. what a shame  .

in my opinion Nancy or even Oscar should have been fired in episode 7 and not Bekeme. the CEO let Nancy off easily, what manner of grilling is that when she was clearly identified as the chief "f*ck up".

by the way Eddie is a damn good Ad guy, very creative and always a team heavy weight. it's sad that he's always on the loosing side.

the show's now growing on me.  i like the way they upgraded from the Intern by choosing only experienced contestants. gave the show a higher level of seriousness and class. cool!

Nancy
Oscar
Bekeme
Eddie

Agreed that the trend is PMs are getting fired but the truth is the PMs are not playing the game. It was off tactics for bekeme to bring in nancy and Oscar! you bring in a weakling and a strong man. how about blessing and nancy  or eddie and nancy. The Apprentice has to be a fighter, everyone of them just get cowed ( if there is a word like that) by the CEO. bekeme cup was full. She had been touted as being a pain in the group and the ceo just wanted her to go. I think to a large extent the duo of bekeme and nancy has been the undoing of matrix, just so happens that the tag team led to the downfall of one of them. hear my full rant here [url=http://the-apprentice-africa.blogspot.com][/url]

Agreed!

Waiting to be fired!!
