Being an adult can be difficult sometimes, so it’s always great to have a little fun and games to make things easier. However, it doesn’t always have to be you playing the games. It is okay to sit back, relax and enjoy a little competitive fun. Whether competitive singing, cooking or quizzing, these shows are always fun to watch.
Here are five of the hottest competitive shows you can catch on DStv this week:
1. Nigerian Idol:
This is a reality music competition where contestants go toe to toe in musical battles to be named the ‘Nigerian Idol’. The show began live shows this Sunday, 20 March, and viewers are in for a treat for the next ten weeks. A new episode airs every Sunday at 7 pm on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv channel 151), Africa Magic Urban (DStv channel 153 and GOtv Supa channel 6) and Africa Magic Family (DStv channel 154 & GOtv channel 2).
2. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire:
This quiz-styled game show is an iconic competitive show many Nigerians followed for 13 years from 2004 until it stopped airing in June 2017. The show made a long-awaited comeback on Sunday, 20 March, with beloved host Frank Edoho, still at the helm of things. The show is still as nerve-wracking as ever, and although there are a few changes in the reboot, OG fans will still find it delightful. It will run for 52 weeks airing every Sunday evening from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on Africa Magic Family and Urban, Stv and NTA on DStv.
