The Next
Movie Star (NMS) Africa, has, yet again, demonstrated its staying power and
firmness of purpose by defying the current hard-biting recession in Nigeria and
forging ahead with the 12th Season and of what has now become
Africa’s most consistent Reality TV Show.
“The 12th Season
of NMS, which we tag Supercharged Edition, is underway!” Sola Fajobi, (NMS
Producer) delightedly exclaimed at a News Conference yesterday.
“The
Economy is biting but we are forging ahead. We’ve been here for 11years. Have
discovered more talents for Africa than any other Reality TV Shows. We have
been up. We have been down. And on our 12th year, we have the
fortitude to succeed, even when our backs are up against some ‘recession’ wall.
And those are some qualities we instil in our Housemates, especially, during
our Training and Grooming (T&G) Session – strength of character, strength
of mind, moral strength.”
The T&G
holds for 2 weeks at a Resort Centre, and it is meant to polish and prepare the
Housemates for stardom. The Supercharged Housemates of 2016 have already been
selected after some rigorous auditions held in Ghana, Liberia, and Nigeria. In
Nigeria, regional auditions where first held in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt
before a final National Audition in Lagos.
Auditions
were judged by veteran Actors in the shape of Nobert Young, Segun Arinze, Bukky
Ogunnote, and Kingsley Ogboso. They were joined by two respected Journalists –
Shina Oyetayo and Sunday Adebayo.
30,000
prospects registered this year alone. 1000 were auditioned. Out of this number,
13 were picked from Nigeria, 4 from Ghana, and 2 from Liberia. After 30
Days in the House, a Winner will emerge; will be rewarded with a Brand New Car,
Cash, and lots for Movie Contracts.
"The 2016
Winner,” Fajobi guarantees “will obviously be a Supercharged Winner. He or She,
along with the entire Class of 2016 will join the growing list of Super stars
we have discovered for the entertainment industry in Africa since 2005."
