The organiser of ”Coming to Africa,” a new reality competition TV show is set to offer 100, 0000 dollars to winners in its African Heritage contest.
The Organizers, through it’s Executive Producer, Co-host and Creator of Coming to Africa, Mr Diamond Sonpon, made this in a statement in Abuja.
Mr Sonpon said that the contest would present the contestants different challenges about their heritage week after week.
According to him the show has been endorsed by the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo Olu, the Lagos State Ministry of Tourism and the Ooni of Ife.
”Coming to Africa is an original reality TV show bridging the gap between black cultures around the world by immersing contestants in the African heritage that connects them all.
”It is an original reality TV show set in the motherland that brings together Africans in the diaspora down to Africa for the first time ever to explore a whole new world,” he said.
”Contestants are confronted by new challenges that question all they know about their heritage, but they have to stay in the game to contend for the 100,000 dollars prize.
“I thought it would be super cool to bring people who have been out of the continent for a while, like myself, or born outside the continent back to Africa – Nigeria specifically.
Mr Sonpon also said the selected contestants are Africans who are no longer connected to their roots adding that the goal is to bring them together under one roof for 30 days.
According to him, during this period they would be confronted with the reality of their history.
“Contestants’ talents will be showcased through challenges that will be introduced into the house as the show goes on. The reality show will be directed by Dafe Eruotor”.
Meanwhile, the reality show will be produced by Chris Odeh, the pioneer of Sozo Films, and producer of Nneka the Pretty Serpent. It is open to United States citizens or legal permanent residents who are black and above the age of 21.
