Cross Border Love: Citizen TV Eye Candy Actor Finds Love In Nigeria’s Songstress Yemi Alade

You have probably seen him on Citizen TV’s Makutano Junction. Pascal Tokodi is the Kenyan actor who found love in Yemi Alade.

Pascal may be a regular face on Citizen but he’s equally present on Masha Magic East on Tuesdays and Africa Magic Family on Wednesdays as he contests for Kes 2.5 million in a reality TV show dubbed TECNO Own the Stage.

TECNO Own the Stage is karaoke competition which has been running on TV; currently 6 contestants are left to battle it out for the prize money.

Yes, Yemi Alade alongside Sauti Sol’s Bien and M.I are the panelists. Now you understand how Pascal met the Nigerian songstress.

Last weekend’s episode turned out to be the most thrilling so far as the seven remaining contestants from Group 2 took to the stage to perform songs by some of the continent’s famous artistes in their bid to impress the judges and remain in contention for the Kes 2.5 million ($25,000) prize money.

At the end of their performances, Pascal, Gazby, Kechu and Sikin were shortlisted for eviction by the judges, Bien-Aimé Baraza, Yemi Alade and M.I. Abaga.

However, M.I. shocked viewers and audience alike by announcing that not one, but three of the four contestants up for eviction would be sent packing from the show. He then proceeded to announce that Sikin would live to sing another day.

But just as Pascal, Gazby and Kechu were coming to terms with the misfortune that had befallen them, Yemi and Bien had a brief chat with M.I. who then went on to disclose that he and his fellow judges had agreed to save one more contestant, which turned out to be Gazby, the masked one.

However, there was yet another surprise in stock because just as the desolate looking Kechu and Pascal appeared set to vacate the stage, M.I., after another brief chat with Bien and Yemi, announced that one of either Kechu or Pascal would be getting a lifeline with the lucky contestant turning out to be Pascal. (That’s how Pascal found love in Yemi Alade.)
