Encomium
Having exhibited extraordinary talent, tenacity and great promises in applying whatever music skills they learned in the academy, Kofo, Melody, Lasbrey and David were treated to a glamorous Eviction Party, in Lagos, on Friday, August 15, 2014. It was, also, a time for the contestants to meet their amazingly growing
fans; bid farewell and enjoy, once again, the goodwill of the giant telecommunications company, MTN, which consistently invests in building human capital for West Africa by helping hone the skills and talents of the youth population in the sub region.
The contestants confessed their short stays in the academy had been the best thing that ever happened to them. Melody, immaculately clothed, expressed her optimism for the future saying ‘I feel I have so much to give despite my short time in the academy’.
Kofo, who was the last to be evicted among the four promised: ‘I have learnt a lot from the Faculty members and I will put everything I have learnt into practice so that my potential can be fully realised in the shortest time’. Alongside Lasbrey and David, the contestants reveled in the pomp and splendour of the night, especially with a host of UNILAG and YABATECH students in attendance to celebrate them.
Meanwhile, Danielle, one of the five wild-card entrants who performed last weekend had been finally admitted into the academy having received enough viewers’ votes last week and emerged the judges’ preference.
Also, after another outstanding delivery of recent afro hip hop and highlife songs, Clement (2), Laami (10), Emeka (6), Taiwo, (17), Christian (1), Ogechi (14), Shola (16), Ruky (15), Flourish (7), Geoffrey (8), Ugo (18) and Debbie (4) all contestants – will need the viewers votes, once again, to continue their stay on the show as any of them with the least number of votes faces the risk of elimination next weekend. Viewers can text their favourite contestants’ unique numbers to 306 or 1745(Ghana), via an MTN line, to keep them in the academy.
