Based in Nigeria, it is a talent contest to find a recording artiste, and aired on M-Net in 2007.
The three judges are: Nigerian Dede Mabiaku, Ghanaian Abrewa Nana and American Dan Foster.
Fellow judge Dede Mabiaku (popularly known as the Nigerian Simon Cowell) also came under fire for his attitude towards an auditionee who had arrived clad in white briefs in a bid to imitate his hero Fela Kuti.
Viewers were shocked to hear Mabiaku call the auditionee a liar, and accuse him of being on "some wrong pills".
Foster attempted to calm Mabiaku, who continued to yell insults at the auditionee before asking him to leave, without giving the other judges a chance to vote either "Yes" or "No"[1] The winner of the series, Timi Dakolo, is yet to release his debut album with Sony BMG, as announced by the producers of the show.
