Gulder Ultimate Search Akolo's secret

By Dipo Olowookere

The search for the secret buried by a mysterious craftsman named Akolo who once lived in a small town called Ijuka, which existed many centuries ago, has begun.

To comb the jungle for the lost secret kept in an iron chest of the late wise craftsman are 18 Nigerians who auditioned for the Gulder Ultimate Search (GUS) Season 12 recently across the key regions of the country.

These brave contestants are already facing challenges as they make their way to the jungle for this treasure hunt.

One question that may be brewing in the minds of readers at the moment could be; why are these GUS contestants after Akolo’s secret and what is its importance?

Every season, GUS takes viewers on a journey through time to seek out a treasure that many say are mere tales of legends. This season, The Age of Craftsmanship goes to Ijuka, where Akolo settled down amongst the blacksmiths and woodcarvers. He soon began to teach the best among the people because his skills were superior to theirs. His name spread beyond the town, but what drew the attention of many was his special brew.

Akolo’s brew was nothing like any that existed in the town. He used ingredients which no one had ever seen before that he got from trading his great works with European merchants. The king soon heard of his fame and appointed Akolo to be a member of his advisory council.

Although Akolo formed a close bond with the king, he never revealed the recipe of his brew. That was a secret Akolo guarded jealously. As the fame of his brew grew, trading routes began to pass through Ijuka, and many sought to taste his brew. Ijuka became a prosperous town, and soon enemies began to gather.

They were jealous of Akolo’s wisdom and his close bond with the king and wanted the secret of his brew for themselves. They tried several times to kill him but to no avail.

Fearing for his life, Akolo left the town for the mangrove forest with his secret brew recipe and all his knowledge, never to be seen again. Ijuka, a once prosperous town, suffered Akolo’s absence and was soon laid to waste by foreign invaders.

Now, the council of elders has chosen 18 brave warriors to go back in time to The Age of Craftsmanship to search for the iron chest containing Akolo’s secret. These 18 warriors have endured several challenges to prove they are worthy of retrieving the iron chest of the wise craftsman Akolo.

Which of them would find the chest and open it to reveal the secret of the craftsman?

To find out, viewers have to watch the show every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv channel 151), Africa Magic Urban (DStv channel 153) and Africa Magic Family (DStv channel 154 & GOtv channel 2).

Zee World, Telemundo & Televista: The Telenovela Triangle on GOtv

Published

on

GOtv Logo

Every telenovela fan has a favourite; some live for the emotional rollercoaster of Zee World, where every episode feels like another test of love, loyalty and family. Others can’t resist Telemundo, where revenge is almost a love language and no secret stays buried for long. Then there are viewers who keep returning to Televista, drawn by stories that blend romance, culture and everyday realities in ways that feel surprisingly familiar.

The good thing is, on GOtv, you don’t have to pick anyone.

With Zee World, Telemundo and Televista all on one platform, there’s always another story waiting to pull you in. Whether you’re in the mood for impossible love stories, unexpected betrayals or family drama that hits close to home, the next binge-worthy episode is only a channel away.

Zee World: Where every emotion comes with a plot twist

Zee World has mastered the art of making viewers emotionally invested. One minute you’re celebrating a wedding, the next you’re questioning everyone’s motives. It’s a world where family bonds are constantly tested, love survives impossible odds, and every decision carries consequences that echo for generations.

Series like This is Fate, Twist of Fate, Radha Mohan and Sister Wives (airing everyday on Zee World)  have become household favourites because they know exactly how to keep audiences guessing. Just when it seems peace has finally arrived, another secret, misunderstanding or family conflict changes everything. It’s the kind of storytelling that makes viewers say, “Just one more episode,” until it’s well past bedtime.

Telemundo: Where calm never lasts for long

If suspense had a home, it would probably be Telemundo. Its stories move fast, emotions run high, and almost every episode ends with a revelation that sends the plot in an entirely new direction. Weddings are interrupted, alliances collapse overnight, enemies become lovers, and trusted friends suddenly become the biggest threat.

Shows like On the other side of the wall, Behind closed doors, All roads lead to love and Queen of hearts have built loyal audiences because they refuse to follow predictable storylines. Every episode leaves viewers with another mystery to solve and another cliffhanger they simply can’t ignore. It’s television that keeps your remote close, but your attention even closer.

Televista: Romance with a familiar heartbeat

Televista tells stories that feel a little closer to home. The romance is still there, but so are the everyday struggles, family expectations, friendships, ambition, heartbreak and the difficult choices that shape people’s lives. Its characters often feel less like larger-than-life heroes and more like people you could easily know.

Whether it’s navigating complicated relationships or overcoming life’s unexpected turns, Televista reminds viewers that the most memorable stories don’t always need extravagant twists. Sometimes they’re found in ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances. That’s what makes its dramas so easy to connect with.

Three channels with different storytelling but one destination

The beauty of GOtv’s telenovela lineup is that every mood has a channel to match. Some evenings call for the emotional intensity of Zee World. Other nights demand the suspense and unpredictability of Telemundo. And when you’re looking for stories rooted in love, family and culture, Televista is ready with another unforgettable episode. Different countries, different cultures, different storytelling traditions. Yet they all share one thing in common: they know exactly how to keep viewers coming back for more.

So whether you’ve already chosen a favourite or happily switch between all three, one thing is certain: on GOtv, the next unforgettable plot twist is always just one episode away.

MasterChef Nigeria: The Spice Runs Out for Isabella

Published

MasterChef Nigeria Isabella

The heat was turned all the way up in the MasterChef Nigeria kitchen as four home cooks battled for just three coveted places in the semi-final, and one contestant’s dream was finally taken off the boil.

In a quarter-final packed with spice, pressure and a late immunity-pin bombshell, Isabella became the latest contestant to leave the competition.

The theme for the week was spices, the soul of Nigerian cooking.

The contestants were tasked with selecting their own spices and making them the true hero of a MasterChef-worthy dish. With a place in the Top 3 on the line, there was no room for bland ideas, safe cooking or half-measures.

But one major question hung over the kitchen. Favy still had the immunity pin — and this was her final chance to use it. Would she play it or risk everything and cook?

Favy chose to step up to the fire.

Halfway through the challenge, the judges stopped the clock and served the contestants a twist they never saw coming. They would now have to make an extra dish.

Sweet or savoury — but spices once again had to take centre stage. The contestants were given an additional 30 minutes, and suddenly the race to the semi-final became even more intense.

Favy felt the pressure immediately. The twist unsettled Fads. No smiles. No distractions. Game face only.

For Fads, who has found herself at the bottom several times during the competition, the quarter-final had become a do-or-die. With time once again her biggest enemy, every second counted.

Then, with just five minutes left on the clock, Favy made the biggest move of the night.

She played her immunity pin. Just like that, Favy was safe. And for David, Isabella and Fads, the fight for the remaining two semi-final places became even tougher.

At the tasting table, the truth was served hot.

Isabella’s rice pudding failed to impress, with the judges saying it was not a rice pudding “in any way, shape or form”. Then came the moment every contestant fears. Chef Eros removed his glasses. A clear sign that he was not impressed. His verdict was brutal: the dish was not semi-final worthy.

David had a much better tasting. Chef Eros kept his glasses firmly on, and the judges agreed that both of David’s dishes were delicious.

For Fads, the stakes could not have been higher. The judges felt that her dishes were presentable, but at this stage of the competition, presentable was no longer enough. They questioned whether she had truly pushed the envelope.

In the end, David delivered when it mattered most and claimed Dish of the Day.

That left Isabella and Fads in the bottom two.

After a tense final decision, Isabella’s MasterChef Nigeria journey came to an end.

Although emotional about leaving, Isabella said she had learnt a lot during her time in the competition and would be taking those lessons with her. The apron may be coming off, but the experience will stay with her.

With Isabella eliminated, the MasterChef Nigeria Top 3 is now complete.

COMING UP NEXT WEEK: THE SEMI-FINAL

The final three home cooks are just one challenge away from the grand finale, but first, they face one of the toughest tests of the season.

They must replicate signature dishes created by Chef Eros and Chef Stone. The pressure is high. The margin for error is razor-thin.

One mistake could send a contestant home. One perfect plate could secure a place in the MasterChef Nigeria finale.

The finish line is in sight, and the kitchen gets hotter than ever.

AI Song Generator: AI Stem Splitter for Modern Creators With AISong

Published

on

AI Song

If you create, remix, or repurpose music regularly, separating clean vocals, drums, bass, and instruments from a finished mix is one of the most time‑consuming parts of the job. For content creators and music producers working across video, social content, podcasts, or campaigns, manual stem separation and messy source files can slow every project down.

The AI Stem Splitter inside AI Song Generator solves this problem by turning any track from your AI‑generated music library into professionally separated stems in minutes, ready for editing, remixing, and reuse. AISong’s core ai song generator works together with the AI Stem Splitter so you can generate music, isolate every key element, and move straight into production without complex audio engineering. This makes it far easier to build karaoke versions, mashups, clean instrumentals, or detailed practice and teaching materials using Secondary Keyword 1 while keeping your workflow fast, consistent, and creator‑friendly.

What Is AI Stem Splitter?

The AI Stem Splitter is AISong’s advanced, browser‑based stem separation tool designed to split any song from your AI‑generated music library into individual tracks like vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments. It lives inside the broader AISong ecosystem, meaning you first create songs with the platform’s AI music generator and then use the stem splitter to break those songs into multi‑track stems. For content creators and music producers, this creates a streamlined path from idea to production: generate original music, separate its core elements with AI, and then reuse those stems for remixes, live sets, content soundtracks, or education without leaving the platform.


Traditional Challenges of AI Stem Splitter

  • Manual source separation is slow and technically demanding.
  • Results from older tools often include artifacts and bleed between channels.
  • Handling multi‑layered productions with many instruments is error‑prone.
  • Preparing stems for different use cases (karaoke, DJ sets, remixes) is repetitive.
  • Organizing and exporting clean, labeled tracks adds extra overhead.

Traditionally, creators relied on manual EQ, phase tricks, or complex desktop software to isolate vocals and instruments, which demanded audio engineering knowledge and still produced mixed results. As multi‑track projects become denser and deadlines tighter, content creators and music producers look for AI solutions that can deliver reliable separation quickly so they can focus on creative decisions instead of technical cleanup.


How AISong Handles AI Stem Splitter

Advanced AI‑Powered Stem Separation

AISong’s AI Stem Splitter uses advanced artificial intelligence to analyze a full mix and separate it into multiple stems with studio‑quality results. The system is designed to recognize vocals, drums, bass, and a range of other instruments, reconstructing them into individual high‑quality tracks suitable for professional remixing, editing, and production. For content creators and music producers, this means less time fighting artifacts and more time using clean stems across campaigns, content, and music projects.

Intelligent Multi‑Track Separation

The feature offers both simple 2‑stem separation (Vocals + Instrumentals) and more advanced multi‑stem splitting depending on the composition of your song. The AI automatically detects what is present in the track—such as keyboards, guitars, or strings—and extracts as many separate stems as the material allows. This adaptive behavior is especially useful when working across different genres, letting professionals move from quick karaoke‑style outputs to granular multi‑track sessions with minimal effort.

Professional Audio Quality

All stems processed by the AI Stem Splitter are delivered in high‑fidelity audio designed to meet professional studio standards. The tool aims to maintain clarity, dynamic range, and frequency response, avoiding heavy artifacts and preserving mix detail across each separated track. For content creators and music producers, that level of consistency is critical when preparing stems for commercial releases, client projects, DJ sets, or broadcast‑ready content.

Output & Usage – Ready for Real Content

Once separation completes, you can download individual stems in high‑quality audio formats that slot straight into your DAW, video editor, or content pipeline. Typical use cases include building karaoke tracks, remix projects, DJ mixes, teaching materials, and background beds for ads, social videos, podcasts, and games. Licensing is creator‑friendly in general terms: you can normally use the separated stems in your creative projects, while rights to the original song still follow standard copyright rules and the platform’s terms.

How to Use It

Step 1 – Prepare Input

Start by generating or selecting songs from your AISong AI‑generated music library; the stem splitter is designed to work with tracks created on the platform. For content creators and music producers, this means you’ll typically bring in songs built from your prompts, campaign concepts, or content ideas and choose which ones need clean stems for remixing, editing, or teaching.

Step 2 – Configure Settings

After picking a track, choose your split settings inside AI Stem Splitter. You can opt for a basic 2‑stem split (Vocals + Instrumentals) or enable advanced multi‑stem separation so the AI can detect and extract vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments automatically. This is where you decide how much control you want over the individual elements, and you can explore Secondary Keyword 2 in the stem splitter interface to align stems with your preferred production workflow.

Step 3 – Generate & Export

Once settings are selected, the AI Stem Splitter analyzes the track and performs the separation. After processing finishes, you can download each stem as a separate high‑quality audio file and import them into your DAW, video editor, or project template for mixing, arrangement, or content sync. These stems can be reused in your projects according to AISong’s terms, with creator‑friendly rights on the separated outputs while still respecting any rights attached to the original composition.


Use Cases for Content Creators and Music Producers

  • Short‑Form Video Creators — Turn full songs from AISong into clean instrumentals and vocal tracks, then cut stems to match pacing, transitions, and hooks in Reels, Shorts, and TikTok videos with minimal editing overhead.
  • Brand and Campaign Marketers — Generate campaign themes, split stems to create mix variations for different channels, and maintain consistent sonic branding across ads, landing pages, and social assets.
  • YouTube and Podcast Hosts — Build custom intros, outros, and interludes from AI‑generated tracks, then use stems to adjust levels and arrangement so music supports voice without clashing.
  • Indie Game and App Teams — Create adaptive soundtracks by splitting stems and using different elements (drums, ambient layers, melodies) to respond dynamically to game states or app interactions.

Conclusion

Within the broader ai song generator context at AI Song, the AI Stem Splitter turns finished AI‑created tracks into flexible building blocks by delivering clean, high‑quality stems tailored for modern production workflows. For content creators and music producers, it bridges the gap between fast AI composition and practical, multi‑track control, making it much easier to reuse music intelligently across formats and campaigns.

If you regularly create or manage audio for content, marketing, or production, this feature offers a practical way to unlock more value from every song you generate. Try splitting stems from your existing AISong library and see how streamlined multi‑track separation can reshape your day‑to‑day creative process.
