chucky234: Public voting surely is doing no good to Project Fame and the Idols,the worst or not too good contestant always end up winner.
It happened with Naomi Mark and Yeka Onka,last year was Yvonne and Monica and in 2012 Ayo has been 7th best all through ended up winning the crown.
I think judges should be the ones to decide who wins and not the public,we were able to have such amazing talents as Timi Dokolo and Omawumi from the West African Idols because the judges were left to call the shot,though Omawumi came out third but that does not in any way underestimate her burgeoning talent.
Last year I and everyone inside the auditorium that were expecting Yvonne to win as she was the finest among the finalist but everyone was shocked when Monica was announced winner,I was heartbroken for days just as I was when Yeka Onka was announced winner instead of the amazing Naomi Mark in the first Nigerian Idols.

Public voting is killing the fun and fans faith,they should reverse to the old system of judges deciding who wins and who loose.

safarigirl: Guy, you're wrong. Jankoliko was a hit, it even made No. 1 on MTV Base's top 10 africa chart. Kedike is doing very well, Mike's Fine Fine Lady won an NMVA. Just say you prefer noise to blues and end it there, don't assume there aren't millions who would pay millions to get a classy performance, most Nigerians are not part of these people unfortunately. Btw, IN YOUR FACE! Nigerian Idols, Ayo won!

Shuo! Madam, me and you get quarrel before cos this your venom dey too much for this kain "holy" Sunday morning?

To reiterate my point, let me draw up a list of the 10 biggest "young" Nigerian acts right now (in no particular order) give or take there'll be 2 or 3 differences

1. 2Face
2. D'banj
3. P-Square
4. Asa
5. Naeto C
6. Banky W
7. J. Martins
8. M.I
9. Flavour Nabania
10. Wizkid

I'm sure your own list will read Mike, Iyanya, Chidinma, Timi, Omawunmi shey?

BTW, wetin be the big deal about topping chat? DJ Jimmy Jat no top MTV Base Africa chat with "stylee"? Modenine no top MTV Base chat with "cry"? Shey Thoroughbreds and Resonance no top SoundCity chat with "streethop" and "le le" respectively? Babe, leave that thing anybody fit top chat at any point in time.

As for award, that one sef no be point after all many mushroom awards shows dey around. Sasha, Mo'cheddah, Olamide etc have all won awards but were dem dey today. What matters in the Naija music industry is that street acceptance & staying power over the years.

If Ayo like, make hin go dey sing blues like Timi, O-Y-O na hin e go dey and he'll never blow. Peeps need something they can gyrate to and that's why Inyanya's "kukere" is such a hit. . .a MONSTER hit

MR XELA: ehhhe see u... Who are u xpectin 2 win if not him. I love dat guy ryt 4rm day 1 his d best... If u watch nigeria idol season 1 last year, he was their but he didnt win... I tink he was like 12th person... Hmmmmm am just happy 4 him seriously he deservd it...

So he was in Nigerian Idols last year? No be na wa, a real wa . See as people just dey jump from one reality music show to another the way monkey dey jump from tree to tree

Nobody wan do regular office work anymore. All man believe sey na hin be the next 2Face, Dbanj, Asa etc. It's Okay. I respect their hussle

aieromon: I bought a 9800 battery from the Slot Blackberry Shop in July last year and the crap has packed up whereas the used battery that came with the AT$T branded phone is still working fine.

It has been running since July last year. The only difference will be the free upgrades provided by the shop. Then,the guys there used to charge for any software services provided.

Lol. . .you should know. By the way, how the Phone Biz? I hear sey u don dey rival the Slots of this world

Miss Ope: Guys i heard Ayo won....the news is everywhere ....pls how true is dis....still dont believe it

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…

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

toba: marvellous has won already

aieromon: Slot has been running this store for months. Kini big deal?

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?

Odunnu: Is it so difficult making this suggestion in that Seun's thread? Are you allergic to orderliness?

ijebabe: It was mentioned the movie was shot with a Red digital camera which is really up there in cinematography. Movies like The Great Gatsby (which I am dying to watch featuring Leonardo DiCaprio), Resident Evil 5, Underworld, Pirates of the Carribean, to name a few, have been shot using this camera.

Na by camera?

TheMadame: Crucifiction was a method which the Romans used to execute lots of criminals.
When Jesus was crucified two robbers were crucified on either side of him.
So what is the big deal in a magazine applying literary licence to express the hopw a player has been vilified for his love for going to ground easily.
People need to loosen up-seriously!

ijebabe: ^ The photos are watermarked by Associate Press as you can see. The ones not watermarked....you just want to know if I am a photographer like you right

Oh, and I always give credit to my sources. It is not hidden that I'm a fan of Bella Naija.

Ok, no p.

Still from the synopsis, I can't help but wonder if this Jetta Amata's Black November is not just a reboot of the BBC's Niger-Delta movie, Blood and Oil (2010) that starred Naomie Harris & David Oyelowo?
