The vibrant campus of Kwara State University was once again lit with energy, talent, and unfiltered passion as the second season of the KWASU TALENT HUNT came to a climactic close on Friday. Organized by Road To Success Entertainment (RTSE) in proud collaboration with Made In Kwasu, the event did more than just entertain—it unearthed the future.

From dancers who defied gravity to vocalists who stirred emotions, the talent on display was not only breathtaking—it was proof that greatness brews in every corner of Nigeria, waiting to be discovered.

What began as a local initiative has quickly grown into a cultural movement within the university community and beyond. With each audition and round of electrifying performances, the audience was reminded of one thing: talent lives here.

Shining a Light, Again

This year’s edition marked a special milestone. The second time RTSE has taken a bold step in spotlighting raw, campus-bred talent and true to form, the winners did not walk away with only applause. RTSE stayed committed to its promise of empowerment by awarding cash prizes and a record deal, a tangible investment in the dreams of tomorrow’s stars.

The impact of this gesture cannot be overstated. In a time when many young creatives struggle to access the industry’s inner circle, RTSE has become a rare gateway, offering not just exposure but direction and development.

Afrobeats: The Journey is Just Beginning

Something I tell my creatives is that “Afrobeats may have gone global, but the world hasn’t seen nothing yet”.

This sentiment echoed throughout the show, as the performances reflected the growth and evolution of a genre that continues to captivate the globe.

The presence of talent managers, music executives, and sharp-eared A\Rs at the event underscored the seriousness of this cultural moment. These gatekeepers aren’t just watching, they’re building. They’re sculpting the next wave of Afrobeats icons from soil as rich as KWASU’s creative grounds.

More Than a Competition It’s a Movement

The KWASU TALENT HUNT has officially transcended the label of event. It’s now a movement a declaration that young Nigerian creatives will no longer wait to be discovered; they are stepping into the spotlight on their own terms.

RTSE and Made In Kwasu deserve commendation for recognizing this moment and fueling it with consistency, vision, and a platform that delivers.

As the curtains closed on this year’s edition, the message was clear: season two was powerful—but season three will be legendary.

So to every singer, rapper, dancer, comedian, and creator waiting for their moment start preparing.
Because KWASU isn’t just producing graduates, it’s unleashing stars
