Funke Akindele Joins Banky W, Toolz As MTV Base VJ Search Judge...hmmm

Multiple award winning Nollywood actress, writer, producer and director, Funke Akindele has been revealed as the final judge for the MTV Base VJ Search – Nigeria.

Akindele, will join previously announced judges, Banky W, Toolz and Tim Horwood to select the brand new VJ. The lucky winner of the talent search will become one of the key faces of the music network, hosting programmes on MTV Base (DStv Channel 322) and on the MTV Base block on STV.

Well i don't see why Funke and Banky should be part of the judges considering what they are known for. MTV Base VJ Search isn't a competition for music or acting...wonder why they couldn't get veteran TV presenters as the judges...well wetin be my concern sef

Meanwhile hundreds of Nigerian youths have already sent in their online auditions while thousands more are expected to turn up at the MTV Base VJ Search auditions, which will take place on Saturday December 1 at Fantasy Land, Lagos. Superstars Ice Prince, Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy will also be present at the auditions to lend their support to contestants.
The winner of the MTV Base VJ Search Nigeria will follow in the footsteps of veteran MTV Base VJ Cynthia “C-Von” Okpala who triupmphed in MTV Base’s first ever Nigerian VJ search in 2007.
