Talented Nigerian singer and songwriter Victory Gbakara has won the eighth edition of the Nigerian Idol singing competition.
After weeks of thrilling performances and highly competitive episodes, Victory beat his fellow top-two finalist and first runner-up, Precious Mac, to win the N100 million grand prize.
The live show had wholesome moments where the families of both finalists were introduced, as well as great musical performances from Nigerian music stars Fave, Johnny Drille, and season 7 winner Progress Chukwuyem.
Victory thanked his fans for their votes and immense support throughout the show and then closed off the eighth edition of the show with a beautiful performance of Wizkid’s “Blessed.”
The Gbakara family came through for their boy and it’s so heart-warming to see their love for him.???? #NigerianIdol
