What Is Nigerian Idol?
Nigerian Idol is a talent show created by media personality and entrepreneur Steve Dede. The first season premiered in 2005, and the show has been running for over a decade.
It is currently in its 7th season. It aims to search for, mold, and develop Nigeria’s best new music artists through various auditions and competitions by bringing together aspiring young singers from around the country.
Nigerian Idol is a reality television show produced by the MNet network. Between 2005 and 2007, the series featured auditions held across the country and live performances each week.
In its first season, each episode had two phases; the first phase was an audition. Contestants performed individually or as part of a group before four judges looking for vocal ability and stage presence.
Of thousands of applicants, they selected only thirty for further competition. These thirty semi-finalists were further reduced to fourteen finalists: Six solo artists, six groups, and two wildcards.
The second phase comprised performances by these finalists until viewers determined who would become Nigerian Idol.
