Etisalat Takes Nigerian Idol 3 to Port Harcourt & Owerri

 

The third season of Etisalat’s Nigerian Idol is gathering momentum as youths of Port Harcourt and Owerri, had a real shot at music stardom at the Presidential Hotel, Port Harcourt and Imo Concorde Hotel, Imo when the auditions hit the east for the second and third leg of the ongoing auditions to discover the country’s next music star. The auditions which took place last two weekends saw youths from different parts of the states, as well as neighbouring states, try to outdo each other in front of the judges.
 

The audition cities also played host to a number of Nigerian artistes as Chuddy K and Wiz-Boy gave fans exciting performances and had fans screaming for more.

Speaking at the Port Harcourt audition, Head, Youth Segments, Etisalat Nigeria, Mr. Elvis Daniels reiterated Etisalat's commitment to empowering youth through the Nigerian Idol, one of the company’s major sponsorship platforms. He expressed satisfaction at the turnout and determination of over 2,000 contestants.
