It’s been over 5 months since the second season of the Nigerian Idol show kicked off and after tough drillings, star performances and surprise evictions, fan favourite Chinwo Nnenda better known as Mercy has emerged winner!
Our reporter who witnessed the final recording this evening says Mercy (or Mecinda as she is fondly called), defeated co-contestant Joe Blue after the acts rendered three songs and were heavily applauded by the audience.
The show kicked off when Hosts Ill Ryhmz and Tiwa Savage who was looking as ravishing as ever called the 12 finalists to render the National Anthem which was followed by a performance from Wizkid, W4 and Chuddy K.
Judges Yinka Davies, Jeffery Daniels and Charly Boy could not but smile and later cheer Mercy who has displayed outstanding performances with her petite figure.
Recorded today at the Idols studio in Lagos, the final show will be broadcast tomorrow on AIT, STV and NTA. The producers will not officially announce the winner until then.
Winning the second edition of Nigerian Idol, Mercy walks away with the top prize of a recording contract, an SUV and a mouth-watering cash of prize of $100,000 (N15m).
