As with past seasons of the music talent competition, we remain committed to promoting and giving young, promising Nigerian musicians a platform to shine and actualise their dreams. Season eight promises to be bigger and more entertaining than other seasons.
Last year, after a fierce battle between Progress and Zadok, the former emerged as the winner, and we are looking for more talents who will pack the heat the way our contestants in season seven did. So, if you believe you have what it takes to be the next Nigerian Idol, send your auditions to the Africa Magic website before January 28.”
Last season, 12 brilliant contestants made it to the live shows out of over 40,000 entries, and it is now time for even more Nigerian youths to get a chance in the spotlight. All interested candidates must ensure they have a valid means of identification.
