Salawa Abeni's daughter, Candy, begins reality show - 'Opolo Orin'

Salawa Abeni's 30 year old daughter, Okiki Ilori, popularly known as Candy Fabulous is set to begin shoot on her reality show titled 'Opolo Orin', which will be the first indigenous Yoruba reality based singing competition.

Opolo Orin will showcase talent in Waka, Fuji, Juju and Apala and is the brainchild of Candiva Signature, an entertainment company owned by Candy. Candy explains what inspired the talent show
"I saw an audition from Project Fame Ibadan, and an old man didn't make the cut because he sang in Yoruba language, and honestly he was very talented, and that gave me this idea, so I started working on it'
The reality show will kick off before the end of the year and will feature Dele Abiodun, KWAM 1, 9ice, Laolu Akins, King Sunny Ade, Sir Shina Peters as judges and guest judges.

Warri Girl said...

Nice concept but I think it should be spread across all ethnic group and each contestant would perform in his/her own language.

Gaia said...

Good stuff! I think its an excellent idea; we have to encourage our own. It would be awesome to have the next generation of Yoruba musicians come up after Sunny Ade, Obey, Shina, Salawa, Barrister etc. Before anyone talks about Pasuma or Obesere; that's not music in my opinion!

This will be a show to watch. At least for the comic relief cos I know there will be plenty clowns auditioning

grunts said...

All those Fuji kats sound alike so not sure what they will be looking out for. Juju is at least a little versatile but all those fuju artists just sound like mushin conductors. Anyways I will be watching it lol

opolo = brain. Orin is song. title translates into brain for music , dexterity with music etc. opolo can mean song or frog.

YINOTINTO said...

there is never a time someone comes up with an idea that our dear Libers will not insult and downgrade. yet none of u morons have done anything to better ur existence and that of others. the other day Tonto sang and instead of encouraging her to do better, it was all insults. and who even says an actress should be steroetyped to acting alone? odethings* thumbs up to you CANDY i wish u all da best. i know its gonna be a great show.

Please dont fail to invite Yetunde Omo-Ibadan and Toun the Waka singer. Best of luck.

As usual, People will hate. There's nothing in this world that needs to be sold that will not need publicity so if her birthday pictures came before this, then that's what it is, all most people did was insult her anyways. You watch project fame, idols, x factor etc and prop these people, so why hate on this. Pls what made adetoun so polular? Was it not becase of the yoruba song she sang and sang it well so people let's encourage her instead of insulting her and already dissin a show that has not even begun. "why are people insulting the girl tho?" They said she has a show coming up and some very dull ones said nothing about the show, they just made it rain with insults on the girl.

"why are people insulting the girl tho?" They said she has a show coming up and some very dull ones said nothing about the show, they just made it rain with insults on the girl. When we want what people have and can't get it, we hate on them (that goes to the person that said her belt is fake) opolo orin!, "Candy's belt" two different things, you insult her then say she's pretty wtf! (you do not have opolo).. She will make her money and you will still be leaving comments on everyone's new, better go and buy form. As for billie jean, M.J go soon send for you.

Shayo said...

1st u judge dat she's fat, her mum threw a party for her, her hair is dis and dat... So now u have a problem with her being intelligent??? And dat she's razz for embracing her language?? All u people have issues.I wish u everybody what they wish u. Some dull ones here can't even think for themselves yet u insult people with ideas. Best of luck Candy. Nice one jare and leave these haters to rot while u smile to d bank.

ada said...

U dont even make sense

ada said...

Billie jean...u r such a big idiot.u r very uncivilized, i'm sure you grew up in d village rearing animals and maybe u were a house help or something...you should improve yourself for your own good...go and get an education...fool!!!

when you get money na him you go fit get correct chic wey you want in your life, as for now every body dun open eyes so we all no weitin we all want for life and the kind partner wey we want as a wife or husband in the future, we Africans most especially Nigerians no too much believe in divorce

Anonymous said...

If you do not like it, of cos you're entitled to your opinion. Everybody cannot like the same thing, that is just how life is. I'm not completely feeling the idea myself but there's now no need to insult the girl. So does her weight mean she can't own a show or try to make money abi is it not when someone makes money the person will be fat sef, that's for all people that fired her with unnecessary insults. Razz or posh show, I wish her luck sha!!

Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any helpful hints for rookie blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.
