MTN is currently struggling financially so there is no way they are coming back

But they have loads of other projects they are sponsoring. Or is it that their focus have changed?

MTN Project Fame, Idols Nigeria, The Voice Nigeria, Glo Naija Sings, Naija’s Got Talent and many others, what is the difference between each one? When I saw the title, I was surprised because Idols Nigeria has run since 2019 or so till a few weeks from now. Lovers of these types of shows have a huge selection to pick from.

They are all talent shows that aims at identifying singing talent, the only difference is the format, creators and probably sponsors.

Their focus changed too ,, I don't see them sponsoring any entertainment stuff

I think the cost of sponsorship also went over the roof over the years and since they had major cuts in their marketing budget, this has made coming back an uphill task. I really wish they could come back

What makes Project Fame different from the next? Why not settle with Idols Nigeria?

Project Fame had contestants from Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone. This gave it a bigger reach and better feel.
