Timi Dakolo
He won the inaugural season of the Nigerian Idol in 2007, back when it was still called Idols West Africa. Since then, he’s dropped us hits like “Iyawo Mi” and “Wish Me Well”. We also don’t need to mention just how beautiful his voice is.
Omawumi
Remember how Timi came first? Yeah, Omawumi came in close second and since then, she’s given us classic hits like Megbele and had us dancing Bottom Belle even though she’s never explained what it meant.
Mercy Chinwo
We’re not joking when we say her voice can strike the fear of God in your heart. But that’s not all she’s known for. She also won the second season of the Nigerian Idol.
Francis Atela
He may not have made it to the finals, but he was hot enough to get through the auditions and knockout stages two seasons in a row.
Kingdom Kroseide
His story is funny because he wasn’t among the initially selected ten contestants, but his audition was so good that they created an extra slot just for him, and he went on to win the grand prize. See what we’re talking about.
Progress Chukwuyem
He’s only the latest winner of the Nigerian Idol, but he’s disturbing the Afrobeats scene already.
Then… there’s Season 8
We’ve been wondering who the next person to enter this hall of fame would be. There’s Goodness, who performed “We Found Love” by Rihanna and blew the audience away. There’s also Ose Daniel who’s already one of the top two voices on this season.
