Nigerian Idol Season 9 concluded today with an exhilarating finale. This season, marked by raw emotions, incredible talent, and show-stopping performances, began with ten contestants. After weeks of fierce competition, only three remained: Lammy, Chioma, and Chima.
The grand finale was an intense event. It kicked off with an inspiring rendition of John Legend’s “Glory” by all ten contestants, followed by special appearances from past Nigerian Idol winners, Progress and Victory Gbakara. As anticipation built, the audience enjoyed guest performances by Chike and Simi before the top three took center stage for their final performances. With bated breath, everyone awaited the announcement. Host Ik Osakidouwa finally declared the winner – Chima!
Omawumi, one of the judges, noted how Chima competed primarily against himself, showcasing his growth. Busola Tejumola, the executive head (content and channels) at MultiChoice, commended his resilience throughout the competition.
Chima’s prize package is nothing short of impressive. He walks away with 30 million naira in cash, a brand new SUV, a music deal with a music video, and a DSTV Explora with a one-year premium subscription.
