Simeon Okoruogo becomes third contestant to be evicted from GUS

Posted: 12 Oct 2010 07:21 AM PDT


It was a brighter day for the contestants in the camp. They were all in a lighter mood, hobnobbing together and relishing the foods that came in abundance the previous night. Simeon Okorougo, the 24 years old ultimate warrior from Imo state found the clue for the day's challenge.The challenge came out to be a tough brain racking puzzle game. It started as a group task and ended as an individual riddle solving challenge. To the amazement of other contestants, 23 years old Ekiti state born Oluwaremi Kunle, who is perceived to be one of the underdogs in the camp, came tops within a record time.

It took about ten minutes before other nine contenders who were sweating profusely under the undulating Omo forest weather, began to find answer to the riddle. After a long wait, the battle was left for Ogun state born Adeleke Oshimade and Simeon Okorougo. Adeleke eventually scaled through while Simeon couldn't figure it out

Mimi and co host Anis
press release
The gentleman that will be by Misi's side, joining her to take us through Nigerian Idol, from Auditions through Live Shows, eviction, gigs et cetera, has been announced!
Adaora Mbelu Communications Manager of Optima Media Group, licensees of the Idols franchise in Nigeria told reporters early this week that "when the show begins to air in November, our fans should expect to see two hosts".
"Aside Misi who was announced as host at the press conference in September, we have selected Anis Holloway, a promising singer who grew from nothing to something, participating in talent shows and working hard to get his voice heard. The reason being that he knows the feelings of these singers, and we want them to see him and see prospects"
The producers say Holloway will be in charge of the field and narrating job, while Misi will handle the theatre aspect of the show.
An unrepentant music enthusiast, Sierra Leone born Anis Holloway made his first appearance as a wannabe singer on Project Fame last year before moving on to Nigezie as a presenter.
"I see this as a great opportunity for me, I saw the contestants at Enugu and it reminded me of how I was a few years ago. I'm grateful to Idols for this opportunity, and I am very positive I won't take it for granted" Holloway said before leaving for Abuja this week.
Most Nigerian teenagers and youngsters are familiar with the Idols format. The story of Reuben Studdard, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson and Timi Dakolo- talents who emerged from being nobody to becoming superstars has shown that with talent and the Idols stage, there's nothing that cannot be achieved.

The project to discover Nigeria's next music superstar will run from November 2010 to March 2011
Idols has been produced in different continents of the world like Poland, America, Greece and Turkey and now, Nigeria gets a chance to create an original super star we will export to the world
Culled out of "Pop Idol", the show has become one of the biggest international franchises. The Nigerian Idol is sponsored by telecoms company Etisalat
