Nigeria’s leading innovative telecommunications company, Etisalat
has kicked off the second edition of Kids Say the Darndest things
(KSDT), following a
highly successful debut edition.
KSDT
is a
platform where
children have an opportunity to showcase their talent and be
themselves. They are interviewed on various topical issues ranging
from family to career, politics, sport, nature, spirituality and any
other topic of interest.
The
auditions which took place over the weekend saw children from
different parts of the country jostle for spots to feature on the
show in an atmosphere of fun, excitement and drama. The 2016 edition
of Kids Say the Darndest Things (KSDT) has as its theme “Let your
little star shine bright” and is powered by Etisalat Cliqlite which
is the
first ever child-friendly educational package in Nigeria designed to
make learning fun for children between the age of 8 and 15.
According
to the Manager, Sponsorships, Etisalat Nigeria, Orah Egwu, the
company has identified this show as a platform that recognizes and
celebrates children with talent. “The program is aimed at giving
every child a voice and letting them shine bright with confidence. At
Etisalat, we are very passionate about young people and we are
obliged to continuously find avenues to engage and empower them”,
She concluded.
The
show’s host, Tony Okungbowa was in his elements at the auditions as
he interviewed the children, while giving them an opportunity to
showcase their personalities. Adding verve and excitement to the
auditions were radio presenters; Mannie and Temi of CoolFm who were
the official MCs for the day while Lolo of Wazobia FM and Aunty Kay
of Inspiration FM’s Cliqlite Fun Tease made special appearances.
The
children had a lot to eat, drink and play with such as bouncy
castles, train rides and other side attractions and they also went
home with goody bags.
Following
the auditions, the show will air on select terrestrial and cable
television stations following after a premiere in Lagos and Abuja.
