Leading telecommunications company, Globacom is at it again. They have further expanded the frontiers of Nigerian entertainment by bringing home the world famous music reality TV show, The X-Factor.
It will be the first time the show will come to Africa and the ultimate winner of the spectacular show will cart home a princely sum of $150,000 (N24 million), the biggest prize among the reality TV shows running in the country. He or she will also win a recording contract with the internationally acclaimed Sony Music for the recording of an album and professional management of the winning individual or group.
The X-Factor was unveiled on Wednesday night at the GET Arena, Lekki, Lagos and is a reality TV singing competition to find new talents. It is contested by aspiring singers, drawn from public auditions and is open to all ages, sex, styles, solo acts or groups. A major difference between the show and others is that the judges also double as coaches for the various groups. Here in Africa, the month-long pre-auditions, which are the first stage, will kick off in Abuja on April 13 and later hold in Port Harcourt and Lagos. It will also run in Accra and Kumasi in Ghana. I don't know who the judges are yet though.
