Season 6.0 kicked off with a lot of pomp and
pageantry with contestants and audience alike witnessed several lovely
surprises. As usually, MTN Project Fame, this season, visited ten cities
across West Africa in search of raw musical talents that can be refined into award-winning
superstars. So, with eighteen (18) contestants making it this far, the race has
just begun.
While the judges deliberated on these performances, Iyanya-the kukere crooner
took to the stage. This time not to ‘whine the waist’ but to everyone’s
amazement, he did his debut single ‘Love truly’ and then went ahead to dazzle
everyone with West Life’s ‘Flying without wings’.After this rendition, he
left the stage leaving everyone yearning for more.
The moment of truth came as the six contestants walked up the stage to get the
judges’ verdict on who would fill the last 3 places. In another opening gala
surprise,the judges increased the number of places from 3 to 4 which
allowed Gbemisola to narrowly escape elimination, while Veronica from
Port Harcourt and Daniel from Ilorin’s journey sadly came to an end on this
season’s Project Fame competition.
So, the announcement of the sixteenth contestant also birthed another pleasant
surprise which is the doubling of the cash winnings. The winner of Project Fame
West Africa Season Six will not be going home with 2.5 million naira like
other seasons. This time it’s a whoppingFIVE Million Naira, a fully-loaded, brand-new
SUV, plus a recording contract worth several Millions of Naira, the first
runner up will now go home with THREE million Naira and a spanking
new mid-size salon car, the second runner up will walk away with TWO
million Naira and a brand new salon Car, while TWO million Naira for
the third runner up.
With so much excitement in the air, the show came to an end marking the
beginning of a great season ahead. As the hosts of the show, Joseph
Benjamin and Adora Oleh bid farewell for the evening, the ‘kukere’
crooner took over the stage in his usual character wowing everyone with his hit
track.
