He plans to invest most of hiswinnings in building a sustainable and successful music career for himself……..then maybe throw a party

Even a deaf man knws that Moses would win. Debbie Rice does nt sing with common sense, noise from start to finish.

Oya, correct yourself.

@Topic, I'm not a fan of Nigerian Idols. But two days day I mistakenly powered my TV to the programme, first ne was performing one certain song, and the day he was performing Bob Marley's song, I had to cough out some hard-earned cash to vote the dude. Congratulobia, TeddyBear.

The real winners Abasiakan and Jay feel have long left the show. Debbie rise can sing nada. I cringe wit embarrassment the day she sang soledad. Or the day she sang rihanna's umbrella. Too loud, off and on tune, too much attitude. Safeeyat is a better singer than her. Congrat teddy bear. I have promised not to watch the show again should Debbie rise win
