SuperSport Auditions for Pidgin English Commentator

SuperSport launches ‘Follow ya Mouth’ pidgin commentator search. It’s the first of its kind in Nigeria and the winner will provide commentary on the Glo Premier League, which now boasts several stars in the Super Eagles. Speaking on the novel initiative, Felix Awogu, General Manager of SuperSport West Africa, said: “We’re looking for Nigerians who can play with typical pidgin words on air and are also passionate about the league. It promises to be a unique experience for every participant.” Auditions will be held in Port-Harcourt (August 23 & 24) as well as Lagos (September 6 & 7) and entry is open to Nigerians between the ages of 20 and 36 years. Contestants will have to demonstrate their versatility and command of Pidgin English to the trio of Deji Omotoyinbo, Chinedu Ani (Nedu of Wazobia FM) and Tega Onojaife, who will serve as judges. The best six contestants from each audition venue will progress to the next round, where they’ll be housed in Lagos for a week to undergo mentoring and training. At the end of the week’s stay in the house, the contestants will be trimmed down to the final three who will contest the grand finale on the 4th of October. The eventual winner immediately gets an employment letter from SuperSport as a commentator for the  Glo Premier League matches.
