Buy me a Mercedes 2014 C Class for mybirthday –Bardia Olowu

Bardia Olowu, popularly known as
ILLRymz in the entertainment circle is a
man of many parts. He is a radio and TV
personality and also a businessman. At
the auditioning of Star Rising Talent hunt
in Lagos, he was the chief judge. ILLRymz
is also host of Nigeria Idol and Star Gist
on Africa Magic. Talking about his
involvement in Star Rising talent hunt, he
said “ What we do there is creating an
enabling facility. We are talking of
grassroot kids of between the ages 7 and
17. With the proposed skill centre, they
can come in there and have full
mentoring by industry leaders and
teachers to help them with their
academics. No matter where you are
coming from, you can be successful. Star
Rising is a talent hunt where they can
show their creativity and the second is
Master Mind to test their intellectual
acumen.” The encounter was an
opportunity to know his favourites.
