STAFF REPORTER
WINDHOEK
MultiChoice Nigeria on Monday, 1 February, announced the host and judges for the new season of the Nigerian Idol. The announcement was made weeks after the company announced the return of the African fan favourite reality show after a three-year break.
Proceeding with plans for season six of the show, MultiChoice announced popular TV personality IK Osakioduwa as the host of the music reality show for this season.
Osakioduwa is a TV personality with over a decade of experience hosting several high-profile events across the continent, including the Big Brother Africa show.
“I was excited when I was called to host this show because I once auditioned to host the show and I didn't get it. I did go on to host something else that just as beautiful produced by African Magic or M-Net at the time, but now is like a chance to go back and I am excited about this.
“I can guarantee that this will be like nothing the fans have ever seen,” he said.
Judges
MultiChoice Nigeria also announced that sensational musician Seyi Shay, DJ Sose and creative industry entrepreneur Obi Asika will all be judges on the show. This line-up of judges is a mix of industry experience, an understanding of the business of music as well as a clear understanding of fan engagement.
Speaking on her involvement with the Idols franchise as a judge, Seyi Shay said: “I am really excited about being a judge on this show this year. I am looking for something refreshing, especially after the year we had in 2020 that didn’t allow us to focus on unearthing talents for the industry.
“With Idol, we have a unique opportunity to not only entertain, but also unleash fresh talents, and I am proud to be a part of that.”
