Zibili Evelyn, aka Evelle is Nigerian Idol 2014

It was the height of emotions for Zibili Evelyn, aka Evelle, who was declared winner of this year’s edition of Nigerian Idol, after defeating her closest rival, Odugbemi Idowu Sarah, aka Eye-D, during a spectacular grand finale at the weekend.

Evelle, by this feat, became the proud owner of a Hyundai Four Wheel Drive Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), in addition to N7.5 million, an Android tablet phone, an ipod and a recording deal with Universal Music Group.

Her joy knew no bounds, as she was handed the dummy cheque and car keys by the Director of Consumer Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Oluwole Rawa, at the Dreams Studios, Bamako, Ogba, venue of the show.

A part-time singer at the Eko Hotel and Radisson Blu Hotels, Evelle, amidst tears, dedicated the award to her mother, who is currently in hospital, having been involved in an auto crash two weeks ago on her way to Lagos to witness her daughter’s performance.

“…God first, then, my mum; it has to be my mum. I know this will make her feel much better than she is feeling right now,” she said.
