A contestant, Chima, has won the ninth season of the popular music reality show, Nigerian Idol.
Chima emerged as the show’s season 9 winner on Sunday night after several weeks of rigorous training and intense performances.
The Telegraph reports that three finalists— Chima, Lammy, and Chioma— had fought many ‘battles’ to get to the final; and their respective fans are wracked with nervousness as they hope and pray for their ‘faves’ to win this night.
During their last performance, each contestant performed to their heart’s content as they strove to convince the judges and viewers that they deserved to win the coveted prize.
At their last outing, Chioma excited viewers with her rendition of Jodie’s Kuchi Kuchi, and Jennifer Hudson’s One Night Only; while Chima’s soulful delivery of Not the Girl by Dare Art Alade, and As by Stevie Wonder left the judges in awe. Lammy’s heartfelt performance of African Queen by 2baba (formerly 2face), and Alexander Burke’s Hallelujah was applauded by guests as well.
