Afro Beat icon and Nigerian Idol season 5 Judge, Dede
Mabiaku has described the just concluded auditions of the on-going Nigerian
Idol season five reality music show as a significant improvement on the
immediate past edition won by Evelle.
The renowned musician made this note recently while
reviewing the month-long nationwide exercise hosted in five Nigerian cities
including Benin City, Abuja, Ibadan, Lagos and Port Harcourt.
“It has been credible. It has been lovely. It has been an
improvement on season 4. It has been amazing because when you get a good
feeling from something then there is joy in doing it,” stated Dede who is a
judge on the show alongside the duo of Dare ‘art’ Alade and Yinka Davies.
Dede is popular on the show for his liking for
originality, Nigerian culture and candid views on contestants’ talents and
performances. Interestingly, he appeared not to have forgotten these qualities
as he occasionally took on some of the contestants on their performances, occasionally
creating suspense.
“These children were sent to us, in my point of view,”
began Dede. Continuing, “They have come in here saying they want to become
Nigerian Idol. My own thinking is that
they should be better people for the fact that they have met me. So, I will
rather help them, but if it is impossible to help any person, I hack.”
It would be recalled that Nigerian Idol franchise owners, Optima Media Group
(OMG) recently concluded the nationwide auditions for the season five of the
leading TV music reality show.
The auditions were held in five designated Nigerian
cities between January 10 and February 9 under the supervision of the celebrity
judges alongside Show Presenter and AOP, Illrhymz.
