THE Nigerian adaptation of popular American kiddies comedy series, Kids Say the Darndest Things, powered by Cliqlite from Etisalat Nigeria will make its debut on AIT Channel 21 and DSTV Channel 253, on Sunday. This is following a successful premiere at the Silverbird Cinema, Victoria Island in Lagos last Sunday.
Speaking at the premier of the show, Director, Brands and Experience, Etisalat Nigeria, Enitan Denloye, reiterated the telecommunication company’s commitment to discovering and nurturing talents.
“We have decided to showcase the level of talent and wisdom that our Nigerian children have with this TV show,” Denloye said.
“The series is also to enable the kids lend their voices to the society, so that the adults can learn from them and back them up rightly.”
Recommending the show as a must-watch for the family, Executive Producer of the TV show, Chichi Nwoko, said, “Kids Say the Darndest Things is a show that everyone can relate to. It is an opportunity for adults to view the world from the kids’ perspectives, so we can better appreciate them. We cast the kids based on their wittiness in speaking their minds. The show is not rehearsed because it works best when kids say the darndest things.”
Present at the premiere were some of the kids featured in the first episode and their parents. One of the parents, Theresa Enejo commended Etisalat for sponsoring the show, adding that, the telecom has again proved its innovativeness by bringing the Nigerian version of the show to the Nigerian audience.
“I am happy that my daughter was featured,” Enejo said. “She had the opportunity of meeting her favourite artiste 2Face and that was very exciting for her.”
Kids Say the Darndest Things features kids between the ages of two to 10 responding to posers thrown at them by the host of the show, Tony Okungbowa.
