Contestants at Abuja auditions
As early as 7am on Thursday 13 April, contestants in Abuja arrived at Sandralia Hotel, Jabi, in their numbers for a chance to impress God’s Children Great Talent (GCGT) scouts and ultimately compete for the star prize of a N250 million management deal, brand new car and N10 million cash.
The contestants, some of whom came in from neighboring cities displayed an array of talents, ranging from Dance to Music, Spoken Word and Comedy.
Some of the Abuja audition contestants include, King David Dance Group from Kaduna, 19-year-old singer and pianist Winner Kelvins, Prime Access Dance Group from Lafia, 6-year-old singer and instrumentalist, Agboli Joshua amongst hundreds of others.
A highlight of the Abuja auditions was when 20 year old Isaac Garba from Kaduna literarily raised the roof with a mind blowing performance using the drum set, this won him a slot in the Abuja Quarter finals scheduled to hold on Saturday April 15, 2017.
The regional judges were not only impressed by the amount of talented hopefuls that turned up for the audition, they were in awe at the number of amazing talents that abound in the Northern Central region of Nigeria.
Nollywood actor, Francis Duru who was among the scouts said:
“I’m glad to have been experienced the Abuja auditions today. I will never have imagined how much talent exists in this part of the country. The GCGT platform should be applauded for coming up with this initiative to identify and celebrate young gospel talents.”
The Abuja auditions came ahead of Port Harcourt and Lagos Auditions, which are also scheduled to hold 21 – 23 and 28 – 30 respectively.
God’s Children Great talent (GCGT) is Africa’s Biggest Youth Talent Competition.
