Lagos born Ada is an on-air personality at 92.3 Inspiration
radio. A self-confessed “life enthusiast”, Ada’s Twitter page describes
her as an “opinionated, impulsive giggle-bot, knowledge fiend, natural hair
lover, dancer, and all round dude”. According to Ada, ‘I feel like
I’ve been preparing for this moment my whole life – it feels right!”

Smart and witty Kemi (Dahlia to her friends) loves dancehall music and
Rihanna in equal measure. The personal motto of this young
novel-loving Capricorn is “Happiness is Key”, and she describes her personal
style as “more denim than silk”.

Happy-go-lucky jobseeker and computer electronics
graduate Ehiz, a.k.a “Special Slim”, is always the life and
soul of the party. With a personal mantra that states “Be the best you
can be because at the end of the day you can only answer for yourself”,
old-skool funk fan Ehiz numbers Fela Kuti, Born Jamericans and LL Cool J among
his favourite artists - and loves the colour red because it represents both
love and danger!
Ada, Ehiz and Kemi were hand-picked by judges Banky
W (@BankyW), Toolz (@ToolzO), Funke Akindele(@funkeakindele) and Tim
Horwood (@timohorwood) after competing against thousands of applicants in
the MTV Base VJ Search - Nigeria auditions in December.
The winner will join Sizwe Dhlomo and Nomuzi Mabena on MTV Base’s
in-house talent roster, presenting their own chart show on MTV Base (DStv
Channel 322, STV & AIT).
The winner in the MTV Base VJ Search – Nigeria competition
will be selected by the judges during the Grand Final in Lagos, on 25 January
and revealed on MTV Base on Tuesday 29 January. MTV Base VJ Cynthia
C-Von Okpala and MTV’s newest South Africa VJ, Nomuzi Mabena, will
share emcee-ing duties at the gig, while celebrity artists Iyanya, Ice
Prince and Burna Boy will be helping the 3 finalists to complete
their final challenges.
You’ll be able to see Ada, Ehiz and Kemi showing
off their stuff in the next two episodes of the MTV Base VJ Search – Nigeria,
