Nokia producing music reality tv show in Nigeria

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

  It’s a good one, at least our entertainment industry in Nigeria will step up a little. But how does one register for this show?

  Pls, anyone that knows should mail me on funtomosoba@yahoo.com

• lola west

  what channel do they show this competeion on? and how do you vote and other things like that?!

• debbie

  why is yinka davies so full of her self?i think she shouldn’t be among the judges she so proud i prefer the beautiful lawyer yinka is not make the contestant happy she is the word “discouragement” i want an immediate reply

• debbie

  im not trying to be rude ok its reality davies is not in the best of position to be among the judges

• obike obinna.

  Great idea, great delivery. I wish you a great finish.
  I also wish to inform you that I have a world class inspirational song to donate to the eventual winner – all for free. Please contact me early enough.

• NFC

  If you missed the first episode of Nokia First chance, you may be excused, but missing the second episode is unforgivable! I mean the billboards and radio promos are everywhere.

  In the second episode, the contestants were narrowed to the last 50 a bumper packed show with a potpourri of talent and the lack thereof was exhibited as all the contestants struggled like lobsters in a boiling pot of water to survive, we all know only the strong survive.

  We watched as Joy who lost her voice still managed a falsetto that blew Yinka Davies away and shattered our louvers and Justine not wanting to be outdone, tried to deafen poor Jazz with hers. Christine had a make over as in Episode 1 we saw Jazz advising her to dress more her age than a granny and she listened! Don Chi-Chi gave us the sequel to his Diana story and Fadina gave us jazzed up spoken word in Yoruba…talent ti po ju (go figure). In the world of Style, Enjel came with his personal couture tip and Miss Akintola, introducing the ‘no shoes’ concept she hopes it will catch on once she becomes famous. Well, it didn’t work for Sinead O’Connor but since they say fads recur, we’ll wait it out without holding our breath.

  There was a series of déjà vu and remixes by contestants who did not understand that they were actually getting a second chance on first chance, excuse the pun. The highlights goodwill message from UK boy group and award winning, Fundamental 03 and getting to know the judges (Yinka Davies and Ifeoma Williams, if you ever wondered why she’s one of the judges, all doubts cleared; style is important if you’re going to be an international star let alone Nigeria’s newest international star).

  Things to look out for are goodwill messages from Nigerian born UK superstar Lemar, Wale Adeyemi, perhaps Lionel Richie and many more. One thing’s certain, Nokia First Chance is a must watch with everything you desire in entertainment including eye candy Isis. Catch NFC on STV Saturdays 9pm-10pm and Galaxy TV Sundays 7-8pm, Mondays on Unilag FM 11 am, Cool FM 6:30pm and Tuesdays on Rhythm FM 1:30pm.

  COMING SOON ON THE NTA NETWORK

• Iwediunor Nwanne Anthony

  Hi,
  i am a talented nigerian,i play the keyboard and i sing very well,
  do i have a chance in this promo?

• Donald

  its a good job they have done. they have transformed raw talent to something out of this world.i was at the reveal ceremony. the most captivating was the song rendered by sylvia. i think contestant 52. if u have heard that song u will understand from what point i am coming from Beyounce is a very technical singer and u must be equally good. to imitate her thumps up to sylvia

• Donel

  The 1st chance concept is the best av sin so far.I was among the contestants and out of 4000,made it to the the final 50.My eviction was well deserved cos i noe i screwd up on dat phase of audition.Pls I wuld like 2 find out from the NFC cru if they’ll be anoda edition next yr?(i min a 2nd 1st chance).I want 2 thank the orgs of the show esp. Segun Giwa who tried as much as possible 2 make the contest as com4table as possible 4 we contestants.I neva miss a single episode n i’ll be sure 2 always kip y’all posted on d happenins.Watch out 4 Sadidat n Kristofar i fink der’s goin get SPRUNG.C y’all in edition 2(if they’ll be ANY!).Gudluck 2 my personal favorites KREESTEEN and ENGEL.increase the peace in the streets.

• Donel

  Nigerians are d most talented people on earth.u may want 2 doubt buh dats ur biz.blieve me cos i was der @ NOKIA First Chance LIVE!!!!!!!!

• alfred

  i think kiddos should be given to sylvia george for a job welldone,tell her we all love her and she should keep up the good work.

• rasul

  hey d only tin av got to dsay is just am impressd wit all the contestant performance,i will tell it boldly am proud of them all.extermly nigerian

• Nike

  For me, this competition did it once again: it restored my belief that Nigeria does truly have hope inspite of all. I saw young men & women give their all into what they did. Yes, they had a few glitches as rookies of course but on the whole, i’m proud to be a Nigerian & to boldly declare “Nigeria has a very bright future”. I sing too so maybe that’s why this whole experience has humbled me.

  To all the contestants: you’ve been simply great! Dont let anyone take your dream away from you! The best is yet to come if you’d just hang in there. I’ll be Veeerrry rough sometimes, but eventually you’ll reap the friut of all your labor.you’ll see!

  To the judges: For me it simply does not matter who judges. (They’ve been great)The emphasis for me will always be: do you have what it takes on the inside?

  On the whole, it’s been worth my while.

  Thank you all!!
