MTN Project Fame West Africa has given another talent a platform
to become a new musical superstar, as Geoffrey Oji wins the season 7 of the
Reality TV show. Very few would have guessed the electrifying stage-craft of
Nigerian dance queen, Kaffy, and the legendary showing of Sir Shina Peters were
a prelude to the crowning of the Benue-born Geoffrey. The big moment was
mind-blowing as thousands of audience leaped to their feet in suspense when the
exceptional winner was announced
With the emergence of Geoffrey as the winner of MTN Project
Fame Season 7, he is now a member of the prestigious league of exceptional
superstars that comprises Iyanya, Chidinma Praiz and more. As well, the N5m
winning prize, an SUV and a recording contract, the journey to greatness lies
assuredly within his grasp. Speaking shortly after he was unveiled, the young
man was full of appreciation and projection.
He said, “Truly, grace has brought me this far; my fans and
MTN have been supportive and I can only promise better years ahead
Geoffrey has been an extraordinary performer. He stands out
for his vocal quality and commands the judges’ respect for being able to
deliver almost perfectly every song; he consistently showed mastery and
character, traits that astounded Paul ‘Play’ Dairo who described him as a
superstar.
Some of his many great performances were the renditions of
Majek Fashek’s “Genesis”, Tuface’s “Only Me” and Bob Dylan’s “Knocking on
Heaven’s Door”.
Sixteen young West African ladies and guys brimming with
confidence and raw musical talent had begun a journey to stardom nearly eleven
weeks ago. But that journey took a new turn three weeks ago, when Geoffrey,
Christian, Emeka, Clement, Daniella, Ruky, Ugo and Debbie earned the viewers
highest votes to contest for the highest prizes.
Ruky emerged the first runner up and received N3m and a car;
Christian emerged the second runner-up with a winning prize of N2m and a car.
Clement received N2m for taking the third runner-up position. While the rest of
the contestants received between N1m and N5, 000, 000. It was a competition
that rewarded all despite their positions.
This season will linger for long in memory, especially among
the over the 200 million ardent viewers of Project Fame who watched online and
via digital and terrestrial TV stations in Canada, UK, US, Ghana, Cameroon,
Sierra Leone, Egypt, South Africa and more. Interestingly, the
telecommunications regulatory body, Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC),
was also well represented by heavy weights such as Mr. Peter Adeoye, Dr.
Michael Onyia, Alhaji Yusuf Abubakar, Alhaji Muhammed Bintube and Mrs. Biodun
Olujimi, who commented that “MTN is obviously empowering the youths through
this musical reality show and it’s worthy of commendations
