'Nigeria is talented' begins soon

Reality TV viewing is about to experience more verve as SoulBase Network is about to launch a multi talent reality TV series which will showcase talents from different spheres. The show debuts in December and it is tagged ‘Nigeria is talented.’

The reality series, which is tailored to be “a break away from the norm”, will gather talents that will display their dexterity in areas such as singing, dancing, acting, comedy, novelty act and handling of musical instruments.
Mrs. Chika Adetomi, Project Coordinator, “Nigeria is Talented” while shedding more light on the objective of the programme said, “the show will provide a platform for singers, choreograph dancers , novelty acts, acting, comedy and other talents (performances). They will compete under one roof, and that will provide excitement and aura that are never experienced in reality television shows.”

Mrs. Adetomi noted that Nigeria is enriched with talents in various fields, but the scope of talent hunt have been largely limited only in the areas of singing, dancing, acting and seldomly comedy. The unique quality of this show is the opportunity the show is offered to other unpopular talents to show their skill alongside familiar talents to one audience.

“This is a country with diverse and fascinating culture, artistry and providence, yet most of her individuals cannot tell how talented they are or if at all they are talented, because of limited exposure. “Nigeria is Talented” will provide a platform for talents,” she added.

Hinting about the selection process, the project coordinator noted that selection of talents would be based on criteria such as display of rare creative qualities that would be assessed by judges, audiences and viewers. She pointed out: “The winner must possess charisma, must be able to connect with the audience/viewer, should blow us away with his/her performance and attract total attention of the viewers while on set. The act alone is not enough but the delivery, style, and the general acceptability from the audience or viewers.’’

According to the organizers, the first multi-talent realty TV series is to be aired by a major television station with network across Nigeria and in partnership with other state-owned television stations across the country.
