Popular music reality show, Nigerian Idol, is set to return
for its seventh season. Billed to start on February 6, 2022, popstar, Dapo
Oyebanjo, aka D’banj, and Similoluwa Kosoko, aka Simi, will be the new judges
on the show.
They will be joining Obi Asika, who returns as a judge from
the previous season.
Speaking on the introduction of new judges for the new
season, the Executive Head, Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice
Nigeria, Busola Tejumola said, “We could not think of a better trio to be the
season’s judges than Obi Asika, D’banj, and Simi. The three of them combined
bring decades worth of experience in the music and entertainment business, as
well as individual mastery of their crafts. We have no doubt that they will
keep the viewers entertained in what will be a spectacular season!”
D’banj expressed his excitement at being one of the judges
this season saying, “I was out of the country when I found out that I was going
to be a judge for this season of Nigerian Idol and I couldn’t contain my
excitement. I’m coming in with my own strategy so viewers should expect a
bang.”
On her part, Simi said, “I’ve always loved the idea of being
a judge and I think it’s a fun thing to do. I plan to be very honest and have
fun and hopefully gain inspiration from those that come on the show.”
Returning judge Obi Asika added, “I will be looking for
special talents and new faces this year. I’m also excited to work with the rest
of the judges this season, and I will be very fair and real to every contestant
just like I was last year.”
