I quite agree with you. Akwa Ibom is home away from home for those that love peace and aesthetic environment. It is a state on the path of greatness.

One thing about this show is that it is opened for both secular and religious acts in all categories, the idea is to showcase talents irrespective of genre.

I missed out on the auditioning. My bad

sometimes I wonder why other states won't embrace talent hunt but if it is to splash money on celebrities you will see them

ibibiofirstlady:
I missed out on the auditioning. My bad

Try again next time.

I just hope you don't miss Heaven though

HappyNigerian:

It is based on misconception that splashing on celebrities means winning the hearts of their supposed fans during election.

TonyeBarcanista:
Try again next time.
I just hope you don't miss Heaven though

God forbid. heaven is my home

ibibiofirstlady:
God forbid. heaven is my home

Calm down, I dont mean it literally

TonyeBarcanista:

And your mouth sharp like razor blade for social media?

Lol, e sharp for real life too, but only to people that know me too well.
