Lagos for a three day musical extravaganza. From Friday November 4 to

From musical groups in the National Theatre to Cool underground music
gatherings like Taruwa and One Mic Naija, the Nigerian Idol auditions is
generating buzz and excitement among music talents. According to Ese

spectacular show with the excited contestants giving it a carnival feel
with their impromptu rehearsals. “Judging by the popularity of the show
last season and the excitement and energy shown by the participants, we
expect an even greater audition this time around now the stakes have
been made higher,” said Nigerian Idol Executive Producer, Rotimi Pedro.
