A young and vibrant hospitality management person with much love and passion for the pastry arts. He has worked with hospitality institutions like Villa Monticello as a Demi Patry Chef and the Holiday Inn as an intern. He attended Takoradi Technical University where he obtained a Bachelor of Technology in Hospitality Management.

“It’s unique and ground-breaking in a number of ways,” the show’s producer, Amor Engelbrecht, explains. “Not only is this the first televised cooking show of its kind, featuring young chefs from across the African continent, but it is also a fresh reality show format. This is not a remake of an international show, but a homegrown product with its own vibrancy, exciting twists and unexpected turns.”

Catch House of Chefs, every Friday from 13th August at 8pm, only on HONEY, Ch173.

The first evictions of the Shine Ya Eye edition on Sunday night came with some very shocking twists. This show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, revealed four new housemates – Michael, KayVee, JMK, and Queen as Yerins, Niyi and Beatrice were evicted from the show.

This shocking twist has taken the competition up a notch as there are now 23 housemates vying for the grand prize for this season. The brand new ‘Shine Ya Eye’ housemates are:

Michael: Michael Chukwuebuka Ngene is a 28-year-old singer-songwriter and aspiring filmmaker from Enugu State. Born in Lagos, he moved to the United States of America as a teenager but is currently based in Abuja. He promises to spice things up in the house by initiating things and keeping his eyes on the prize. His motto is ‘catch cruise, forget’.

KayVee: Gbolahan Ololade is a 26-year-old photographer. His hobbies include playing football, clubbing and playing cards. He has so much positive energy and promises to bring all the dance moves from the streets to the show. He says one of the most significant issues he’s dealt with is police harassment because of his style.

JMK: Jumoke Zainab Adedoyin, who describes herself as “a sexy, confident and adventurous foodie” who loves to help people, is a 23-year-old law graduate. She has dreams of becoming a certified member of the Nigerian Bar. She is ready to slay in the house and will most likely be getting in many fights because she doesn’t like to be crossed.

Queen: Queen Mercy Atang considers herself a true leader and an excellent communicator who is very calculating, loyal, and peaceful. The 26-year-old is a philanthropist and aspiring politician. She doesn’t like wearing clothes and promises to show off her ‘cute and sexy’ body.

Premier League and La Liga preview, 13-16 August 2021

SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to extended action from the Premier Leagueand La Liga, with matches scheduled to run from Friday 13 to Monday 16 August 2021.

DStv and GOtv is the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match – it’s literally ‘Unbeatable Football’! If you’re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.

The 2021-22 Premier League season gets underway this coming weekend, with newcomers Brentford – the 50^th different club to feature in the Premier League since its formation in 1992 – getting the campaign underway with a home match against fellow London club Arsenal on the evening of Friday 13 August.

The Bees are set to unleash Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka as they look to claim the scalp of the Gunners in their first top-flight league match since the 1940s. “Frank plays as an eight in our system, he is very good at getting from box to box and will be valuable to us when we don’t have the ball,” said Brentford boss Thomas Frank. “He has come from the Danish league and was one of the best midfield players in that league; we think he has the potential to develop further.”

Saturday 14 August brings a potential thriller early in the afternoon as Manchester United and Leeds United renew their rivalry with a clash at Old Trafford. The teams’ last meeting at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ produced a 6-2 win for the hosts, with SuperSport viewers no doubt hoping for something similarly thrilling.

Saturday also sees Chelsea host Crystal Palace in a London derby, Leicester City will look to Nigerian Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho to inspire them to a win at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the late kick-off sees Liverpool travel to Carrow Road to face newly-promoted Norwich City.

“I am happy with it, we have to just make sure we get the right mindset for the first game because that’s the biggest difference – it’s not a pre-season friendly any more, we have to go with all we have,” said Reds boss Jurgen Klopp. “We only do all of these things because we want to win football games – we want to win many football games – and win something special.”

Sunday 15 August sees Newcastle United and West Ham United looking for a fast start to their campaigns in an afternoon clash, before the evening brings the pick of the first round’s matches: Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

City will be looking for a statement win as they open the defence of their Premier League title, while Spurs have entered a new era under manager Nuno Espirito Santo – a tactician who has gotten the better of Pep Guardiola in the past and could no more to endear himself to the Tottenham faithful than claim an opening-weekend win over the champions.

SuperSport is the only place to get English commentary on the legendary La Liga! The 2021-22 Spanish top-flight league season opens on the evening of Friday 13 August with Valencia hosting Getafe at Estadio de Mestalla. Los Che endured a tough time in 2020-21 and new manager Jose Bordalas will be under pressure to see them rise up the log this time around.

“I only hope that Bordalas doesn’t suffer like the previous manager, Javi Gracia. It is not the fans I’m worried about… it’s the owners,” said Valencia legend Dario Felman. “The Valencia fans are angry with the owners because they are running the club as if it is some sort of futbolin (‘table football’) club.”

The pick of matches on Saturday 14 August sees Real Madrid head to Estadio de Mendizorroza to face hosts Deportivo Alaves. Los Blancos have swapped out manager Zinedine Zidane for Carlo Ancelotti, but a lack of major acquisitions in the transfer market – plus the loss of key defenders Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos – means the Italian will have his back against the wall right from the start of the campaign.

Reigning La Liga champions Atletico Madrid will open the defence of their title on Sunday 15 August with a clash away to Celta Vigo. Diego Simeone’s side look well placed to win back-to-back championships, but the Argentine tactician is taking nothing for granted.

“We will have to fight with all our souls, blood and tears – just as we did to win La Liga last season,” said Simeone. “It is too early to speak of the championship and such issues; we must only focus on making the best possible start to the season.”

Sunday also sees Barcelona and Sevilla – two teams with hopes of dethroning Atletico – in action against Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano respectively. Barca have added Sergio Aguero, Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia to their squad, though it is the rising star of midfield maestro Pedri and the return of African-born Ansu Fati which should get Blaugrana fans most excited for the new season.

No rival can compete with SuperSport’s coverage. Our viewers on DStv and GOtv enjoy an unrivalled selection of football from around the world!
