    Nice one, this is gonna rock our TV. Good job guys. @Anonymous I wonder how Nigerians can be satisfied, you guys are always saying Nigerians in Diaspora should come home and contribute their qouta this is one and now you are complaining besides have you made efforts to check if the able bodied men can deliver on this programme with Kids, that is if the abled one have not been hijacked as brand ambassadors by competing brands. Let us celebrate this abeg finally something for children and the Family.

    Well, I'm glad that our lads abroad are taking their gifts back home. I just hope the lack of constant electricity will not affect everyone from watching. Well done bro.

    @anon 10.13, first off tony left the Ellen show a while ago so it's not like they just got him from America. Secondly how do you know he wasn't the one that pitched the idea to the networks? What ingenious ideas have your able bodied men come up with? You Nigerians and this entitlement mentality just because of your nationality. Besides, hearing the accent of these kids, your able bodied men may not be able to communicate or understand them

    Linda get your facts rights. Okungbowa is a Yoruba name and not Delta. Ellen de generes asked him a while ago what his name means and he told her its 'The sea has heard us',which is the Yoruba translation of "Okungbowa".How on earth did he become "delta born"?

    THIS MAD PLACE WE CALL NIGERIA WILL NEVER BE ORIGINAL

    LOOK AT THEM PREPARING THE KIDS FOR EXPORT.

    FAKE ACCENTS EVERYWHERE, FAKE LIFE, FOREIGN MEMES

    WHEN ARE WE EVER GOING TO TAKE THE MASKS AND COSTUMES OFF
    AND JUST BE WHO WE ARE, LIVING IN HARMONY WITH OUR IMMEDIATE
    AND BLESSED ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS A QUESTION FOR ALL OF US.
