A 100 Level student of Sociology from the Lagos State University, LASU, Ojo Ogunlaja (AKA Mr. Gula), has emerged winner of the first edition of Lagos Got Talent competition.
The 18 year old Ojo Ogunlaja, who represented Epe zone alongside 11-year-old, Opeyemi Ishola, another rapper, beat other finalists who had earlier emerged from zonal auditions which originally produced 250 talents.
