Kingdom Kroseide has been crowned the winner of the Nigerian Idol season 6.
Last week, the singer qualified for the finale alongside Francis Atela, following the eviction of Akunna Okechukwu.
Courtesy of his win, Kingdom, a computer science student at the Federal University, Otuoke, earned a recording deal, music video shoot for three songs, and over N50 million worth of prizes, which include a N30 million cash prize and a brand new SUV.
Expressing his joy on his win, Kingdom said: “My grandma used to say one day you’ll be very great. And then she died. And I almost gave up. But I want to thank the judges for believing in me and my fellow contestants for pushing me.”
John Ugbe, CEO of MultiChoice Nigeria, said there are many talents in Nigeria, and Kingdom’s victory is a testament to that.
“We are proud of what Kingdom has achieved on the show. His emergence as the winner is a testament of how much great talent abounds in Nigeria,” Ugbe said.
“For us at MultiChoice, we are committed to helping talent like Kingdom, as well as other contestants that participated, reach their potential and also launch them to a much bigger audience.”
