A Nigerian Idol contestant, Chima Udoye, has emerged as the winner of the ninth edition of the popular music show after weeks of training and performances.
The three finalists—Chima, Lammy, and Chioma— went through different stages of the competition to reach the finale.
In their final performances, each contestant tried to convince both the judges and viewers of their worthiness.
Chioma thrilled the audience with her renditions of Jodie’s “Kuchi Kuchi” and Jennifer Hudson’s “One Night Only”, while Chima‘s soulful performances of “Not the Girl” by Dare Art Alade and “As” by Stevie Wonder captivated the judges.
Lammy performed 2baba’s “African Queen” and Alexandra Burke’s “Hallelujah” which was met with applause from the guests.
However, Chima’s powerful performances won over the judges and audience alike, and secured his place as the season 9 winner of Nigerian Idol.
