Deputy Governor of Lagos state Mrs. Adejoke Orelope Adefulire presents a N6m cheque to the Green Family, MDA 6 winners
After weeks of thrilling performances,
hectic rehearsals, and a lot of laughter, the Green family has emerged
winners of the sixth season of Maltina Dance All TV show, walking away with N6m and a brand new Toyota Avensis.
The Greens were announced as winners at a grand finale which took place at the Expo Centre of the Eko Hotel and Suites. The show was anchored by familiar host Kemi Adetiba with judges Janell Burgess, Muyiwa Oshinaike, Michael Adegoke present.
The Green family beat four other families Efiokwu, Boyle, Zibe and Eghove
that had qualified for the grand finale. All five families gave their
last performance to thrill the audience and boost their votes. The end
of the performance saw the Green family emerge winners after garnering
the largest votes from Nigerians, with Efiokwu and Eghove families as
the first and second runners taking home N1m and N500, 000 respectively.
So ecstatic to be crowned the number one dance family in Nigeria, 19 year old Ibiba Green,
the family representative, could not hide her tears of joy as she gave
thanks to God for making it possible for her family to be crowned
winners. Also, Telema Green, the mother, expressed her joy and gratitude.
‘Because dancing is an ongoing
process, Maltina created the MDA Academy to teach families more about
the art of dancing, the way to move and adjust their bodies to different
types of music. We basically educate them on dance styles and patterns,
so every year; it is only going to get better as the education also
gets stronger’, Janell Burgess said.
Last year, the Ekubo family was announced as winner of the fifth season, walking away with N5m and an SUV.
