has produced a new musical superstar, Geoffrey Oji. 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 MTNProjectFameSeason
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 ofProjectFamewho 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".
