Reality TV has proven to be an alternative means of making money apart
from making movies in Nigeria's entertainment industry. Reality shows
have enjoyed massive followership in Nigeria with subgenres like Job
search, reality competition/game shows, but the celebrity subgenre is
something that is new in Nigeria. The ice was however broken with the
widely publicised Omotola's 'The Real Me' which airs on Africa Magic.
Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has also started her reality show
titled 'My Xperience', and according to the producers, the show will
portray her every day work, plans, and all the stress that comes with
her success.
Apart from Laide's new show, sources say there are several other
celebrities working on similar shows.When singer Goldie passed away,
it was revealed she was working on a reality show with best friend and
Channel O presenter Denrele. In fact, a few episodes were said to have
been shot before her death.
The show will premiere next week on syndicate local channels STV, TVC and AIT.
