Nigerian Music - Kokolettes Finally Set For Mansion’s Unveiling.

Source Blogspot: 24th June 2009.

After a long and eventful wait, the last 12 girls (kokolettes) standing, are now set and fully ready to walk majestically into the famous Koko Mansion. The elaborate ceremony would be unveiled to the world live on June 28, 2009, with razzmatazz and blitz, in the city of Lagos.

Beginning from this Sunday, 12 girls will for eight weeks strive to outwit one another in their quest to become the ideal Kokolette with brains and talent.
The Mansion is situated in an undisclosed area in Lagos. Hip-hop superstar D’banj will play a vital role in the coming show as he does in the Nigerian Music industry.

We reliably gathered that in these weeks, the young women will be groomed and tested in various activities in order to determine the one with the greatest Koko virtues, worthy of being a wife –Kokolette.

Some of these Koko virtues that the viewer, who will be the ultimate judge in the intrigue-filled show would be looking out for are: the ability of the Kokolette to cook sumptuous meals; furnish and maintain the mansion among other good behaviours. The Kokolette must also be industrious while being able to take care of the home front; her ability to be respectful and courteous at all times would be put to test. The potential Kokolette must be able to emulate notable women in the society, in order to win the public’s votes to remain in the house.

The public in the course of the show will know the most tolerant, hospitable and respectful woman in the mansion. D’banj’s entertaining character may also act as a catalyst that will bring out the girls’ true personalities.

The winner of the show will emerge the most sought after Kokolette. She must however, be a beautiful young lady, smart and intellectually savvy and also possesses a fun talent and must be willing to explore and definitely be a wife material. She must be well-cultured with sound domestic training, an absolute diva with the ability to get along with a diverse crowd. The Kokolette must be someone with good moral values, independent and ambitious, aside being a creative person.

She must also be an excellent host, a very creative person. A video audition was recently carried out at Planet One, Lagos, it further helped the panel to determine the 12 finalists.

“There will be no evictions in the first week because the ladies would have to socialize and familiarize themselves with living in a mansion. However, eviction starts in the second week, where two ladies with the least number of votes from the viewers will be ushered out. Weekly evictions begin from the second week till we have our final three ladies.” Meanwhile, eviction is primarily done by the public and could be based on D’banj’s comments. Every week, there will be a talent show segment where each lady must showcase her talent to the viewers. Talent is an important criterion to be part of the show because it would serve as the platform for each Kokolette to become a celebrity in her own right after the show. However, each week, among the three ladies up for eviction, it would be D’Banj’s prerogative to give Koko Mycine (immunity) to one of the girls. He can only use Koko Mycine once in the duration of the show. The winner will among
other benefits,
be crowned Kokolette 1, get a Chris Aires Diamond ring, a brand new convertible car, feature in his next music video, You Don Make Me Fall In Love alongside N5 million in cash. Aside winning, she would be D’Banj’s companion at public events both within and outside Nigeria. She would further emerge as HiTV’s Hi-Babe. Aside from exploring her talent professionally, she’ll be obligated to get involved in women empowerment projects that would especially reinforce the unique role of an African woman in the development of our society.

The winner of the show aside the mouth-watering prizes, the organizers have also made a commitment to invest in whatever talent she has that was discovered during the duration of the show. The Kokolette is not a street girl or party music video girl as most people may want to think. Koko mansion project is a proud supporter of the Nigerian Music.
