Music/Radio / Re: Justina releases video "Na me and you" by IsisNaira: 5:38pm On Sep 21, 2007
Wow, that's cool stuff. Looks very professional. The Nokia guys must have helped her.

Haven't herd nothing about Christine, the other girl who was in the final at first chance. ANyone know what she is up to?

I am very upset that Christine won and also think that Justina has been cheated.

I know one of the contestants who has been evicted earlier from the show and she told me that Christine seemed to enjoy special treatment all through the show. While all contestants were allowed to talk to their families once every two weeks or so, Christine's father was allowed to call her almost every day and also seemed to talk regularly with the management of First Chance. There seems to be a special connection between Christine's family and the Nokia First Chance organizers and several of the contestants felt after a while that from the beginning it was clear that Christine would win and that the other contestants were basically "used" to promote her popularity.

I am sad to realize that this seems to be just another typical Naija story where talented people like Justina are screwed by less talented people who have the right connection and money.

I am confused - when does the show end, this week or next? What's happening right now?

Really hope that Justina wins this show!!! Almost all my friends and me have voted for her!
Can't wait for her album to come out - if she has good songwriters, she can make it big and all of us very proud!

The show is still on - it's Christine and Justina in the finals. I think the show ends in two weeks or so, not quite sure exactly when.

Really hope that Justina wins it - loved all her performances, she is so genuine and passionate about what she is doing!!!

@segebee
I think that Justina is proud but not in a negative way - she is self-confident but appears humble at the same time. Think about where she comes from - she hasn't been able to school for more than a couple of years and part of her life she has been struggling to get food for herself and her family through her singing. I admire her for what she has gone through and still has become the determined, passionate and yet humble person she appears to be.

She would make us all proud am sure bout that.

Make sure you and your friends vote for her as I think Christine has a more wealthy family behind her!

Dongee and Dimeji - I agree with you.
Justina has to win Nokia First Chance, especially now that Kiba is out. So far, some of my friends have voted for him although they all agreed that Justina is the far better singer and performer. Kiba just had the looks but not really anything else.
Christine can neither match Justina's voice nor her natural performing skills. If I see and hear the two right after each other, Christine somehow appears fake. And Enjel is a nice guy with a good voice but he won't make it on the international stage while I can see Justina hitting it big.

Justina also would make a great role model for young Nigerians - I read on her website about her life (www.justina-ogunlolu.com/biography.htm) and it seems that she has come a long way. I thought that I had seen her before on TV and when reading her website I realized when - she won Project Fame three years ago, together with Dare. Typical Nigerian story - she didn't have the money to get a passport and nobody helped her out, so someone else got to go to the finals in South Africa.
I pray she is more fortunate this time round - can't wait for her to release her first album.
