On Air Personality, Adaora Oleh is
one of the presenters of MTN Project Fame, an annual talent hunt programme
sponsored by a foremost telecommunications company, MTN. Born and raised in
Surrey, England, this young lady comes around as a pretty, easy going person
and sometimes quiet and reserved.
The vivacious Adora Oleh described
her experience as a co-anchor of MTN Project Fame as great, adding that ‘I have
made no secret of the fact that I really enjoyed hosting the show and I always
say it is very important to enjoy what you do. She has now started her own talk
show.
‘I love presenting and I would like
to think that whilst I’m presenting, my enthusiasm and enjoyment comes across
to the viewers at home. I have co-hosted Project Fame West Africa for five
seasons and I’m excited about the contestants, their talents and the drama
of every season.’
The beautiful lady, who has
since moved on, said that she always knew that she wanted to work for herself
and produce her own TV show under her own production company.
“So I mentally prepared myself. I
knew even before starting that it was not going to be easy.
There were challenges at every
stage, but we have definitely come a long way since the early days and the
show is up and running and here to stay,” she gushed.
Adaora revealed that she has always
been a fan of talk shows. “I grew up watching a lot from Oprah,
Tyra, Sally Jessy Raphael, Jay Leno and David Letterman, all of them!
Oprah’s talk show was highly influential and many of her topics penetrated
into pop-cultural consciousness, which I could relate to. I found her show
inspiring and it provided viewers with a positive, spiritually uplifting
experience. I loved it and I said to myself I really want to be like this woman
someday,” she stated.
Talking about her show, she revealed
that each show is designed to inspire, motivate and entertain the audience
through celebrity role models and entrepreneurs that appear on the show.
“My interviews are like a journey
through the celebrities’ lives and I’m not afraid to ask them anything.
Therefore it feels like a very frank, out-spoken, honest conversation between
me and my celebrity guests. The show is currently on Silverbird TV and VOX
Africa in the UK and on VOX Africa DSTV Nigeria,” she explained.
Anchoring the show, she said
is the easy bit; but that once she finishes presenting and interviewing her guests,
she would turn into a television producer and ‘it’s at this point my sister and
I oversee all aspects of the video production. As you can imagine, the
challenges that come from this are too long to mention as there are
challenges along the way at every stage. It can get really crazy at times.’
Ada’s first experience on TV
was actually modeling on a breakfast TV show on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom,
whilst in the university. She stated that she did this for a few years and
became totally addicted, not by the modeling, but by the TV environment.
‘It was great to be a part of the
process of a live show and this enhanced my desire to become a TV presenter.
I’d say it was difficult because at that stage all you had was a dream
and absolutely no idea how to go about making it a reality,’ she submitted.
She finds it amazing to be a Fox
correspondent, adding that it is something she is very proud of. “Reporting on
one of the biggest news networks is a lot of fun. The environment is fast,
furious and intense. I learnt that covering the latest breaking entertainment
news or hard hitting investigations is not for the faint hearted. It’s a
real adrenaline rush and I enjoy every minute.
I reported the events of the
day at the Queen of England’s Diamond Jubilee. I have done movie rundowns,
celebrity news and most recently I got the opportunity to report live outside
the The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in, London, where Kate The Duchess of
Cambridge was due to give birth. I loved that experience. I was beyond
thrilled! All the pomp and circumstance surrounding the birth of Prince George really
reached fever pitch. It was very exciting. It’s one of those stories that
is one hundred percent positive as well as world history in the making.
I was so glad to be a part of
an historical news story and I’m definitely looking forward to doing more
with Fox News this year,” she with a tone of much excitement.
