However, not much is to be desired from #ProjectFame9.0 competition as the overall shows ratings and follower ship dropped.
With plans from season 10 already in motion and Mummy J announcing on academy day 61 of #ProjectFame9.0 that all the previous runner-ups from season 1 to 9 will be given an opportunity to be crowned winner of season 10, there’s a chance Project Fame West Africa might regain it’s prized position among television shows of its kind.
The question that begs an answer from this season however is did Okiemute deserve the win?
