Renowned Nigerian actress and television host, Kehinde Bankole will be the host of the show.
Speaking on the show and the choice of judges, Senior Brand Manager, Goldberg, Olaoluwa Babalola said: “Over the years, we have gone above and beyond to promote the Yoruba culture and every aspect that is associated with it.
“This is why we are exploring indigenous music and giving young talents from Southwest Nigeria a platform to showcase themselves and gain global recognition through Ariya Omoluabi.
“We are doubly excited to have the trio of Brymo, Aramide and ID Cabasa be judges on the show. The three of them come with a wealth of experience spanning decades which we believe will help the contestants sharpen their craft and give viewers an entertaining and engaging show. We, therefore, encourage everyone to tune in and be part of this show,” Babalola remarked.
The show comes after a keenly contested regional audition which produced 13 contestants out of over thirteen thousand entries submitted online.
These selected contestants will slug it out for their share of 50 million naira worth of prizes on the much-anticipated show.
