Charley Boy Replaces Chocolate City Audu Maikori as Judge on Nigerian Idol Season 2

The second season of the Nigerian Idols was launched on Wednesday in Lagos, with a few surprises here and there. Wave making songstress, Tiwa Savage was announced as co-host to Ill Rhymz, a popular VJ. The franchise dropped Chocolate City boss, Audu Maikori, from the Judges panel and replaced him with area father, Charles Oputa (aka Charley Boy). Yinka Davies and Jeffrey Daniel would however remain as judges. 

The show which begins airing on December 4th, 2011, kicks off with auditions in four major Nigerian cities - Abuja, Port Hacourt, Enugu and Lagos. This season would have the winner take home prizes valued at $100,000.
