The grand finale, which was the culmination of weeks of suspense, drama and excitement saw the Utere family from Port-Harcourt, Rivers State crowned winners of the 2014 edition of the show.

The Uteres went home with the star prize of a whopping N10 million after securing the largest number of votes in the keenly-contested competition.

Apart from the grand prize of N10 million, the Utere family also earned the title of Nigeria’s number one dance family while the Uzodinma family which claimed the second position went home with N3m and the Odigie family was rewarded with N1m for their efforts as 3rd.

It would be recalled that 10 families were initially admitted into the famed Maltina Dance academy, after which they were subsequently reduced to four families – Utere, Uzodinma, Odigie and Unanka – that took part in the grand finale.

It is also worthy to mention that the Utere family already has their son, Eric Isaac Utere popularly called Leriq doing very well in the entertainment industry. The 26 year-old Leriq is a producer cum musician currently signed on to Aristocrat Records.

He is solely responsible for producing Burna Boy’s debut album L.I.F.E which had tracks like ‘Like to party’, ‘Tonight’ and others and the album was ranked 10th on Nigeria Entertainment Today’s 12 best albums of 2013.

Leriq has gone ahead to release songs of his own which include ‘Turn up’ and ‘Comment tu ta’pelle’.
