Bros, for life anything wey get beginning must to get end

Moreover, no be my paale get NL but for now I remain loyal

Back to topic (make e no be like sey I come derail), who u think sey go win this year Project Fame and why?

afam4eva: Is today the last day?

toba: humility is key

afam4eva:

toba: uncle said that to nyanya and marvellous. he said nyayan is making cos he's humble

afam4eva:
Okayyyy...

toba: this is to semid my friend.

u've been critical of music reality shows but l do hope u'll have a change of mind cos the ex participants of the MTN project fame really proved themselves that they are not just singers but they're musicians. forget that MTN network messes up but this show is really great. The previous winners of Nigerian idols are yet to do anything acceptable but from project fame we already have international stars like Nyanya, kesse, nicholas, chidinma, monica and of course stars in the making comprising marvellous, ayo, ella and adetoun

Lol, don't get me wrong, I never doubted their musical prowess and ability from day one.

I'll be the first to admit that the ex-Project Famers all have v.good voices (better than the D'banj's, 2Face's, Wizkid, PSquare, 9ice, M.I etc that rule our music industry) and are great performers on stage but they're all yet to BLOW and do great things like the afore mentioned artistes. You and I know it takes more than having a "Mariah Carey" voice and being able to hit the high notes to make it in the Naija music Industry.

I mean, look at Davido. . .shey that one fit pass screening/audition to enter any musical talent hunt competition ni? Hell No! But today his "Damiduro" song is a monster hit and is getting mad airplay on radio & TV.

YES, the Project Famers are undoubtedly talented (musically) and they wow the audience & viewers during the show but then none of them has gone on from there to make it "big time"

Mike's "fine fine" lady was a flop. Chidinma's "jankoriko" no too hit like that. Kesse & Nicholas, don't even go there. . .who dash monkeys banana lol. Of the lot, only Omawunmi & Nyanya have had relative success with their hit songs "get in the music" & "kukere" so wetin be the success ratio?

Guy to SMS, I still stand by my earlier post which says:

semid4lyfe: All these singing competitions Project Fame WA, Nigerian Idols, West African Idols etc are a waste of time IMO.

It's better for a "talented" aspiring musician to hustle, gather money, hit the studio and record one or two dance/party tracks, get radio airplay and he or she will blow faster than all these singing competitions will do for him/her. Also, it doesn't help that the scope of the show is limited.

Apart from the prize money, the recording contract & the car, there's nothing in Project Fame. It is just a platform to fame, become a celebrity and get invites to events IMO.

How many winners of these competitions have gone on to have successful music careers? Na only Omawunmi be like sey she try. . .Timi, Mike, Chidinma, Nyanya were failures and their songs/albums were flops.

Dbanj, Tuface, P-Square, Asa, Olamide, Whizkid, M.I, Ice-Prince, Samklef, Timaya etc never went through any singing competition and they're the biggest things in the music industry today. . . .no surprise these same artists get invited to perform and judge the contestants during the show?

Cuddlemii: You guys are talking too much

Ella for the 1st or 2nd Place!!!!!

Madam, which one you dey. . .shey you no see wetin toba post abi na lie

Ayobami Ayoola Ayolola better known as AYO has emerged winner of the popular reality TV show, MTN Project Fame West Africa. Ayo beat six other contestants to emerge the season five champion.

Ayo won the grand prize of N2.5 million, a Toyota Rav4 and a lucrative recording contract.

Ayo, a 25 year old personal assistant to a renowned saxophonist Mike Aremu edged out other finalists to win the top prize this evening, Saturday, September 29, 2012. The finale will be broadcast tomorrow.

Marvelous emerged the 1st runner-up, Adetoun is the 2nd runner-up while Ella is the 3rd runner-up.

AYO last year contested at the first ever Nigerian Idol and made the final 12 but was evicted in the first round of the finals.

He now joins the past winners, the likes of Iyanya, Mike Ayansodo, Chidinma and Monica…
