Sally Nigerian Idol Season 10

This week’s episode of Nigerian Idol was a mix of excitement and tension as “Blockbuster Night” marked the season’s first live elimination. The return of DJ Sose to the judging panel alongside Ric Hassani and Iyanya added a welcome sense of nostalgia.

Before performances began, the show revealed the first elimination based on viewers’ votes. Sadly, Sally was the first to leave, but her exit performance of “In Love With Another Man” showcased why she’d made it to the top 10, leaving a lasting impression.

With the competition now narrowed to nine contestants, the episode introduced a fun twist: the judges each had a golden trophy to award to standout performers, and they participated in a light-hearted movie trivia challenge that kept the atmosphere lively. DJ Sose quickly identified “May the odds be ever in your favour” from The Hunger Games, earning cheers from the crowd, while Ric Hassani later nailed “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer” from The Godfather.

The performances were nothing short of electric.

Mikki opened with a smooth, heartfelt take on “Remember Me” by Miguel, earning praise from the judges.

Bammy’s interpretation of “Stand by Me” by Ben E. King showed emotional depth, connecting deeply with the timeless classic and reminding fans why he’s a frontrunner.

Bosslady wowed with Brandy’s “Starting Now,” highlighting her versatility.

Jkenova delivered an energetic rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror,” leaving the judges in awe.

Lawrence continued the Michael Jackson theme with a heartfelt performance of “Will You Be There,” capturing the song’s emotional core.

Ellacentric offered a delicate yet powerful performance of Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up.”

Khristopher surprised with a creative twist on Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love (Remix).”

Raymu impressed with “I Want to Know What Love Is,” his soulful approach connecting with the audience.

Purp closed the night with a stunning performance of ABBA’s “The Winner Takes It All,” earning standing ovations and two trophies for her standout delivery.

In the trophy presentations, Purp received trophies from DJ Sose and Ric Hassani, while Iyanya awarded his to Mikki for his flawless performance.

As the episode wrapped up, host IK reminded viewers that voting lines were open and fans could vote via the Africa Magic website, mobile site, or DStv and GOtv apps to keep their favorite contestant in the competition.

Nigerian Idol continues every Sunday at 7 PM on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv Ch. 151, GOtv Ch. 12) and Africa Magic Family (DStv Ch. 154, GOtv Ch. 2) and is also available on Showmax, GOtv, and DStv Stream apps.

5 New Shows Giving Kids More to Watch on GOtv This August

Published

on

Kids show Watch on GOtv

Some kids want superheroes. Some want animals. Others will happily sit through a funny story about a girl trying to figure out boarding school after being raised by goats.

That last one is Goat Girl, one of the new shows joining the kids’ lineup on GOtv this August. The series follows 13-year-old Gigi as she leaves the mountain life she knows behind and starts boarding school, where making friends and understanding human behaviour turn out to be a whole new adventure.

And Gigi is not the only new character young viewers will be meeting this month. August brings imaginative adventures, rescue missions, comedy, LEGO chaos and stories about friendship and family, giving different kinds of kids plenty to find themselves in.

For Kids Who Love a Rescue Mission: RoboGobo Season 2

Some children will always choose the show where somebody needs saving, and that is where RoboGobo comes in. Dax and the rescue team are back with upgraded Robo-Suits that can transform into Robo-Vehicles as they continue helping animals in trouble.

Season 2 airs Saturdays and Sundays at 12:25 pm on Disney Junior GOtv Ch 82.

For the Ones Who Want Something Funny: Goat Girl

Gigi’s story is probably not what you would call a normal school experience. Raised by mountain goats, the 13-year-old has to adjust to boarding school and figure out how to fit into a world that is very different from the one she knows. Her attempts to navigate friendships, school and human behaviour make Goat Girl an unusual and funny addition to the lineup.

It airs Monday to Friday at 5:20 pm on Cartoon Network GOtv Ch 89.

For the LEGO Fans: LEGO City: No Limits MAX

If your child can turn almost anything into an adventure, LEGO City: No Limits MAX should keep them busy. Jason and his friends find themselves dealing with zombies, cowboys, strange creatures and one particularly mysterious banana. Basically, you never quite know what is coming next.

The new series airs Monday to Friday at 4:20 pm from August 17 on Cartoon Network GOtv Ch 89.

For the Ones Who Love Family Stories: Wylde Pak

Lily and Jack are half-siblings who suddenly have to spend the summer together, while also helping out with their family’s pet grooming business. Naturally, things do not go smoothly.

Wylde Pak follows the pair as they navigate sibling rivalry, a new family dynamic and the everyday chaos that comes with working together. It is a story about family, friendship and figuring out how to get along when you have no choice but to spend time together.

Catch it Monday to Friday at 5:15 pm on NickToons GOtv Ch 86.

Something for Every Kind of Kid

The best thing about this month’s lineup is that there is no single type of child it is trying to entertain.

The little ones can follow Maisy’s imagination. The animal lovers have RoboGobo. Kids who enjoy unusual comedy can meet Gigi in Goat Girl. LEGO fans have another adventure to get into, while Wylde Pak brings family and sibling drama into the mix.

So when the inevitable “Mummy, what can I watch?” comes up during the holidays, you already have a few answers.

And with new stories arriving across CBeebies, Disney Junior, Cartoon Network and NickToons, they might not run out of things to watch anytime soon.

BBNaija housemates

The Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemates facing possible eviction this week are Tram, Barry, Goddessa, Yusuf, Temi Nkem, Sultex, Abi, Araga, Flora, Nomy, Ricky, Kamsy, Sheba, Oyin, Keivo, Gerad and Bells.

The 17 housemates emerged from this week’s nomination process, which saw the housemates vote to save three of their fellow housemates from possible eviction.

Conspiracy Hour

Ahead of the nomination process, Biggie announced Conspiracy Hour, giving the housemates the opportunity to rally together, discuss their thoughts and share who they would like to save ahead of the nominations.

This was followed by the nomination process, where the housemates were asked to save three of their fellow housemates from possible eviction. Chimsom Chuka, the Most Influential Player of the Week, Neche, the Head of House, and Nomy, the Benchwarmer, were exempt from the process.

Cassi, Bluethopia and Gerad were initially saved by their fellow housemates. However, as Head of House, Neche had the power to remove one housemate from the list and chose to remove Gerad.

Neche Wins Head of House Challenge

Neche emerged as this week’s Head of House after going head-to-head with Chimsom Chuka in the final round of the Head of House challenge.

The final stage was an endurance test, with Neche outlasting Chimsom Chuka to claim the Head of House position and its accompanying privileges, including immunity from this week’s nominations.

Biggie Introduces BB Bucks

Biggie also introduced the housemates to BB Bucks, the official currency of the Big Brother house.

The BB Bucks have no value outside the house but can be earned through tasks, challenges and other activities. While the housemates can earn BB Bucks, they can also lose them depending on how they choose to use them.

The BB Marketplace will also open in the house, giving the housemates the opportunity to spend their BB Bucks on items and privileges available to them during their stay.

Voting Is Now Open

With the nomination process completed, voting is now open, giving viewers the opportunity to decide which of the nominated housemates will remain in the competition.

Fans can cast their votes through the MyDStv app, MyGOtv app or the official  Africa Magic website before voting closes at 9:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Catch all the drama live and 24/7 on DStv channel 198 and GOtv channel 49. BBNaija Season 11 is also available to watch on DStv Stream and GOtv Stream.

Martins Big Brother Nigeria

The Big Brother Naija Season 11 House has recorded its first evictions on Sunday night, with Martins and Mercedes leaving the competition after polling the fewest votes from viewers.

Speaking with host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu after his eviction, Martins remained positive about what comes next, saying he plans to surprise the world with his next steps outside the House.

For Mercedes, the eviction was not something she considered a loss. She said she gave the experience everything she had and was proud of how she spent her time in the House. On what comes next, she revealed plans to perform globally while continuing to build her massage and concierge businesses. She also shared that one of her priorities is paying for her father’s surgery.

Chimsom Chuka Takes the First Most Influential Player of the Week (MIPOW) Title

While two housemates said goodbye to Biggie’s House, the evening also brought a new advantage for Chimsom Chuka, who emerged as the first Most Influential Player of the Week (MIPOW). The title earned him the betPawa Elite Award and immunity from next week’s eviction.

This adds another layer to the competition as the remaining housemates settle into the reality of the game, with strategies, alliances, and individual influence already beginning to take shape.

Nomy Receives Strike and Final Warning

Moments before the live eviction show, Big Brother summoned the housemates for a meeting following repeated violations of his instructions by Nomy. After addressing the importance of following the House rules, Big Brother issued Nomy a strike and final warning, making it clear that housemates cannot choose which of his instructions to follow.

With two housemates already out of the competition and Chimsom Chuka holding immunity for the coming week, the race for the N160 million grand prize is fast heating up.
