MARTHA, UTI AND LYDIA IN HOT CHASE FOR THE CROWN

As the race gets tighter and fiercer, indication shows that all things being equal, the eventual winner will likely be amongst these three Housemates: Martha Ankomah, Uti Nwachukwu and Lydia Forson.

The Next Movie Star 2007, had sixteen housemates that eventually made it to the House, but the rule remain the same, only one winner will emerge. Today, we are left with six housemates, Lydia Forson, Uti Nwachukwu, Martha Ankomah, Enoch Hammond, Ameh Lucy Franscesca, and Oshinuga Olufemi. They had survived several hurdles and more importantly, they had their stars to thank for not being part of the four different stages of eviction.

The winner is expected to go home with fabulous prizes like a Geely car, three movie contracts, N500, 000.00 cash and a flat in a choice area in Lagos.

Information reaching us as at press time shows that the winner will likely emerge from Uti Nwachuckwu, Lydia Forson, and Martha Ankomah. Criteria at arriving at these three include voting from audience in Nigeria, Ghana and around the world courtesy African Independent Television (AIT) and Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), whose stations are viewed on satellite cable, Professionals perception about the housemates, and In-House judges’ assessment. Professional includes those established Actors, Actress, Directors, Producers etc that have visited the house since the inception of the TV reality show. Those in this category includes Joke Silva, Racheal Oniga, Jude Orhorah, Imaseun Odua Lancelot, etc

Martha Ankomah is a Ghanaian, a strong personality in the house with very distinct and unique acting skills. No wonder, she won to herself a movie contract role in Imaseun Lancelot yet to be released movie. And as if this was not enough, she was the only one out of the six finalists that recited her Nigeria Independence Anniversary poem off hand, even beating drums while rendering a poem. One will not forget her very unique Ghana accent in pronouncing words, a very likeable person, who seems to have won a lot of admirer for herself in Nigeria and Ghana.
Her strong point is her versatility and good acting skills (gesticulation, audibility, projection, mimicking etc), she has 101% belief and confidence in herself that she is going to win, and she is on top of the rating by pulling so far 85% of possibility of emerging the winner. The twenty one year old chatterbox was born in Accra, Ghana and she loves singing, dancing, talking and acting.

Uti Nwachuckwu, the only Nigerian in the top three, on his part is a happy- go-lucky fellow who immediately strikes your attention with his looks. A lady’s kind of man by all standards, Uti seems to have garner more of ladies votes for his babyish-fine boy looks, though that is not to take away his acting skill and capacity to deliver script as given, his strong point is his adaptability to different situation, strong attitude and personality which places 75% on his possibility of winning. The 25 year old Delta state born has grown from strength to strength in the house, and that is why is amongst the top three. Uti’s wildest imagination is to have Beyonce, Shakira, Kylie Minogue and Cassie all fight for him in a bath tub filled with chocolate mousse.

Lydia Forson, another Ghanaian in the house, she is another very good actress whose look and her above average rounded-capacity kept going in the house, she listen to people with rapt attention, her projection is excellent and her demonstration is of good level. An avid movie critique, Lydia likes hanging out with her friends in a cinema while eating popcorn. A stickler for perfection, Lydia hopes to become the president of Ghana in the future. In all, she is got charisma and an appealing personality, which seems to have placed her 75% beside Uti, she is a top contender.
