The event which held at the Royal Court Yard, on February 21, 2019 saw Blessing Edeyigbo outclassing other contestants at a keenly contested challenge which was witnessed by thousands of youths from the city.

Blessing’s prowess as a singer coupled with her eclectic performance wowed the judges made up of music act, Faze, music producer, Nas T, OAP Monique, Maleke and comedian Ghana Must Go to clinch the crown as the winner of the Agbor edition of ‘Sorting Out Raw Talents’

The SORT (Sorting Out Raw Talents) project which was conceived and executed by Francis Agoda, popularly known as I Go Dye is part of the comedian’s Francis Agoda Path of Honour (FAPOH) initiative, designed to identify and reward excellence in various fields of human endeavours. The Delta Talent Hunt aspect of the ‘SORT’ project commenced on February 13, 219 in Warri, with Mr Douglas walking away with 500 thousand naira as the winner.

According to the comedian whose commitment to world peace and youth empowerment has become public knowledge, the big idea behind ‘SORT’ is to help government checkmate the issue of youth restiveness in the country, occasioned by lack of availability of enough jobs to engage the youths.

Speaking on the ‘Sorting Out Raw Talents’ project, I Go Dye said, “Obviously at this point of our existence,selfless contributions that will create alternatives to engage the youths should be encouraged. We cannot continue to leave the  responsibility of supporting the youths in the hands of government  alone. In the past, programs like West Africa Idol, Project Fame and others have really helped our  talented youths in Nigeria, making the winners who they are today.

So, this requires the support of us all, because its  objectives are  aimed at eradicating youths restiveness, making them to become more  resourceful and productive and we have the support of Delta State Government. We are looking at taking it across Niger Delta before we do SORT NINJA. Like they say, charity begins at home, that his why we are lunching this project SORT today in Delta State.

The grand finale is set to hold in Asaba on March 5, 2019 where the first winner of Warri and the second winner of Agbor will be part of the final showdown. The winner who will be crowned Delta Talent and Brain Ambassador will also walk away with 2019 Hyundai Accent sedan car.
