young fashion industry in Nigeria with pieces that instantly caught on
with women because they were created to be visually stunning and
distinctive while paying painstaking attention to detail.

a leader in the fashion industry with an ever growing clientele. She
has also inspired and mentored several young designers who have come

experience.

combination of moving art and sound" Miss Majin says
Folake Majin's daughter, Gogo Majin, designer for GM4FM speaks about
her collection – "My inspiration for the collection came from an
accessory that has been made and used by my mom for her clients for
more than a decade on many of her haute couture designs. I took that
accessory and built the whole collection around it".
The GM4FM is showing for the first time. The label was launched on the
13th of august 2011.
She continues ".For Sunday please expect a different spin to a fashion
show. Expect original visually stunning clothes and breathe taking
pieces. A show to remember"

breathtakingly beautiful clothes using fabrics such as African print,
Aso Oke, silks, Chantilly laces etc.

of Nigeria, television personalities, business women, senators,
housewives and beauty queens) over the more than two decades since she
started the label due to her creativity and drive

3 CONTESTANTS TO LEAVE MTN PROJECT FAME THIS WEEK!

*As Aziga and Zaliha say goodbye to MTN Project Fame Academy.*
The tussle for the Project Fame West Africa grand prize is getting tougher
by the minute as contestants in the MTN Project Fame Academy are taking
their game several notches higher with each performance.
Last week, we saw Emmanuel, Zaliha, Princess, Aziga, Ethel and Isaac go on
probation as they did not impress the judges. They had to sing the same
songs that got them on probation last week to escape eviction.
On Saturday, November 12, 2011, MTN Project Fame West Africa decided to
take the show out of the studio by going to the prestigious University of
Lagos in Akoka and students were thrilled to see members of the Project
fame Academy Faculty along with the Judges.
At the end of the performances from the six contestants on probation, the
judges confessed that the contestants had improved from last week. "*There
is a lot of improvement from what I have heard tonight and I must commend
all of you for putting in the extra effort because you all came on stronger
than your last performances."* an excited Bibie Brew exclaimed.
The highest number of votes from the audience soon saved Ethel then judges
saved Isaac. The Faculty decided to save Princess because of the potential
they see in her and the remaining contestants not on probation saved
Emmanuel. This brought Aziga and Zaliha to the end of their journey in the
Project Fame competition and they performed for the last time in the
Project Fame West Africa competition.
On Sunday, November 13, 2011, contestants from past editions of the MTN
Project Fame West Africa competitions, Yetunde Orijah (Yetunde Omo Ibadan),
Mike, Tolu Adesina and Chidinma Ekile opened the show with various singles
that they have released since the competition.
The 13 contestants left in the academy later entertained the audience with
good performances but the judges did not overlook the mistakes made by the
contestants and did not hesitate to remind them that they were in a
competition. *"The competition just got tougher and we would now be judging
your diction, key notes and your deliveries in the songs given to you. So
we think you should focus more on your singing than on your performance so
that you don't compromise one for the other" TY Mix explains.
"You all did well with your performances but we are looking for the best
in you all. I believe some of you have gotten too comfortable in this
competition that is why we, the judges have decided to put seven people on
probation today instead of the usual six to go on probation." Kwame
announces.
"With this new development, three contestants would be sent home from the
project fame academy instead of two contestants next week. By doing this,
we believe that you all would realize that this is a competition and you
have to fight to win the grand prize." Kwame continues.
The contestants on probation this week are Emmanuel, Joba, Racheal, Roy,
Princess, Chidinma and Ruth so these contestants have to impress the judges
and the faculty to remain in the Project fame academy next week.
To vote for your favo rite contestant, text the contestants number to 306
form an MTN line. Each text costs N50 only.

Hear him, "Last year, i was robbed at my Maryland residence. I was just driving out of my house to a show when they approached me inside my Hummer Jeep. They asked me to come out of the car and lie on the ground. On sighting my face, the leader asked me to get up and sing for him. He said his wife loves my music and he will not hurt me. All that he needs from him is to sing for him and also pray for him and i did. Funny enough before they left with my phones and some money, he asked me to hug him.
