This competition has commenced fully with the introduction of the first stage which is the audition stage or the blinds. Before the commencement of this stage, we had a total of 18 contestants, one Pakistani, one Venezuelan and 16 Nigerians who'll be participating in this competition. All contestants will be a part and parcel of this show. They'll be trained on the use of a lot of things which includes;
