Nigeria is no stranger to reality TV shows, as they have been a major part of the broadcast medium content. The beautiful thing about reality shows is that they are often unscripted and anything can happen at any time.
There are a number of reality TV shows that have graced our screens and somehow just sank into oblivion. For throwback today, we decided to bring back some of the reality shows that miss and would want back.
1. Gulder Ultimate Search
The show which was in a sense one of the most loved reality show to grace Nigerian TV screen was designed to test the physical and mental fitness of the contestants. A king among other reality TV shows.
It ran for twelve seasons and was hosted by actor, Chidi Mokeme, before it sadly left our screens.
However, recent news has said that the show is coming back for a new season. See video below;
2. Project Fame West Africa
If you do not know Project Fame, the musical talent show sponsored by telecommunications giant, MTN, then you were probably born around 2018.
The show kept families glued to their TV screen, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, which was when the performances happened.
It was hosted by Joseph Benjamin and Bolanle Olukanni. See video below;
3. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
If you didn’t hug yourself, grab something and hold to your chest, or even scream while this programme was on, then it’s safe to say you were most certainly watching something else.
