When it comes to recounting her experience and significant influences on her rise to stardom, former project fame contestant and queen of Afro-house — Niniola Apata certainly doesn’t mince words.

The multitalented artiste opened up to host Chude Jideonwo about her West African Idol audition and how a combination of multiple failed auditions, grit, and hard work were instrumental to her success story.

Recalling her West African Idol experience, Niniola acknowledged that the constructive criticism of judges – singer-songwriter Dede Mabiaku and deceased radio personality and former media consultant Dan Foster, motivated her to be better.
