The beloved children’s talent show, KidsMO, is making a much-anticipated comeback, fully rebranded and ready to inspire a new generation of young stars. After months of behind-the-scenes work, organizers have confirmed that the show will resume next month with a fresh format and renewed energy.
KidsMO has long been a platform for discovering and nurturing young talent, having helped launch the careers of many gifted performers, including music sensation, Korede Bello. The upcoming season is designed to provide children with a vibrant space for self-expression, growth and the discovery of their unique talents.
Held for over a decade at the prestigious MUSON Centre in Lagos, KidsMO has attracted wide recognition from celebrities and dignitaries alike. Among its notable supporters is the current First Lady of Nigeria, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, who has contributed to the show in various ways over the years.
Speaking on the rebrand, the show’s producer, Abiola Akinyeye—popularly known as Beeyolah—emphasized the show’s new direction. “KidsMO has been reimagined to meet current realities and international standards,” she said. Akinyeye, a recipient of the Laureate in Child Talent Development Award from the African Child Foundation, has consistently championed children’s creative development through her work.
The impact of KidsMO is evident in the success stories of its alumni. Former contestant Dionne, now a pageant winner, credits her time on the show for boosting her confidence on stage. “She [Beeyolah] fuelled the passion in us with her platform,” Dionne recalls.
Another standout is Akorede Sax, a past winner who has gone on to release a successful album and now performs as a jazz saxophonist at esteemed venues in the United States.
As part of its relaunch, KidsMO will introduce weekly episodes exploring the journeys of past contestants—offering a then-and-now perspective that promises to inspire and entertain.
With a renewed vision and exciting new content, KidsMO is set to captivate audiences once again. The show promises to be an enriching experience for children, parents and fans of talent and creativity alike.
