Sexy Looking Akill Bids Buddy Farewell

From day one, 24 year old, Benjamin Akill, established himself as a very confident guy who knew exactly what he was about on Stars of the Future 2006.

Each week, he earned more fans who were predominantly young ladies. And again each week it became quite obvious that he was the one Jessica referred to when she goes "&..ladies and gentlemen our next performer is a ladies man, quite often he is been described as a sexy looking guy with a smooth voice that probably charms the ladies&."

But as the nature of the game had it, Akill's stay in the competition was short lived when last Wednesday, in a rather touching competition, he was ushered out of the competition with as little as 5.93% of public votes.

Coincidentally it was her buddy from school time, Sandra, who gave him the bad news.

Apparently Akill and Sandra had the least votes in the competition for that that week. And when they hugged to say good buy, Sandra's eyes which had already welled-up in tears, wept for the eviction of a dear friend.

In a short profile presented on www.charterhouseghana.com, Akill's answer to "What if you do not win this competition?" reflects a strong-willed person who will easily move-on no matter what happened. His specific answer had been,&.. "Not winning this competition will certainly not be the end of the world. Mind you, being part of this competition is already a step forward to success and I know better days are ahead..."

Even though Akill is out of the competition, he did not leave empty handed, he walked away with 2 million cedis, product hampers from FC and Close.

Still on the show, last Wednesday, three fans of Stars of the Future were rewarded for sending-out the highest number of votes. One received a cool 2 million cedis cash and two others received hampers from Close-up.

Still in the competition are; Noble, Sandra, Justice, Fredrica, Daniel, Twum Barima, Clare and Betty.

Stars of the Future is another exclusive concept by Charterhouse and sponsored by Areeba, GTV, Close  up, Castle Milk Stout, National Theatre and Universal Motors.

On GTV, the series airs on Sundays, 3:30pm, Tuesdays, 9:30am (repeat), Wednesdays - 8:30pm and Fridays, 8:30pm.
