Ochuko
Less than a month after providence and scant votes denied him this year’s Project Fame West Africa crown, fans’ favourite, Ochuko has wiped his tears and straightened his collar. It is now time to get to work and prove to voters that he was the best choice.

Come October 23, the bulky lad would be having his first public performance after the PFWA at the Nigerian Leadership Initiative’s Champions of Values fundraising dinner’ sponsored by First Bank of Nigeria Plc at the Landmark Village in Victoria Island, Lagos.

E-Punch gathered that Ochuko will serenade guests at the dinner which aims to celebrate NLI’s achievements in the last four years while appreciating all individuals and corporate partners that have contributed to the success of its programs and initiatives. The Babcock University graduate, E-Punch learnt, is working himself thin to ensure he has a good outing.

MTN Project Fame: And the winner is…

Thousands upon thousands started this journey of this ongoing MTN Project Fame talent hunt show, but just six of them have scaled all the hurdles to become the finalists.

The contestants thrilled viewers last weeked with their performances alongside some Nigerian artistes. At the end of it all, many people may find it difficult to settle for one winner.

But then, the crown is only meant for one person. As such, the king/queen of the academy will emerge before the end of today as the talent hunt show closes.

Who will it be? Will it by Fineboy Eyo, whose baritone and good looks have got him more fans, or will it be Ochuko, whose dexterity on the dance floor and his energy have given him more than enough kudos?

Great things, at times, come in small packages. Chidinma is a living testimony of that saying as the petite contestant has been a great contender in the show. Same goes for Kesse, the Ghanaian singer, who has shown he has got the talent and the voice.

Yetunde and Tolu escaped the eviction hammer a few times and they happen to be among the finalists. Who knows, one of them might be the winner tonight.

The contestants have been full of praises for MTN Nigeria for giving them the opportunity to actualise their dreams.

Eyo said, “I want to thank MTN, the best network in Africa for providing this life changing opportunity. Without MTN, I would not have been here today performing before this large cheering crowd.”
