Kunle Ogunrombi better known as K-Peace was simply
ecstatic and almost collapsed when he was declared the
winner of the Etisalat-sponsored Nigerian Idol season 5. The
young man just couldn’t hold back the tears that rolled down
his eyes after emerging the winner of the competition.
Getting to the final stage was not an easy road as K-Peace
survived all the audition hurdles and eviction hammers to
become the last man standing.
The grand finale that held last Saturday was spectacular as
so many guests trooped to the Optima Studio (Lagos) to
watch how the two finalists, Dolu and K-Peace, engaged in
the final battle.
Indeed, it was as if everybody in the audience was rooting
for K-peace as each time he came out for a performance,
the crowd would literally go wild.
Truth be told, the young man put up his best performance at
the grand finale, several notches higher than his rival, Dolu.
Dolu’s performance of Omawunmi’s If you ask me, received
dismal applause as against when K-Peace hit the stage with
Kiss Daniel’s Woju. K-Peace’s delivery of the song was on
point that most people even felt he did better than the
original owner of the song.
He displayed same energetic performance when he came on
stage to perform Shina Peter’s Afro Juju. The crowd simply
went crazy as they gave him a thunderous applause after his
performance.
It wasn’t all over yet. Even though everybody was crazy
about K-Peace, so many people were still unsure who would
get the highest votes from the public.
Before the host, Ill Rymz, would announce the winner,
international award winning singer, Asa, came on stage to
perform.
Thereafter, the moment everybody was waiting for came and
K-Peace was announced the winner.
He looked as if he couldn’t believe it was real especially
when the key to a brand new SUV was handed to him.
Speaking about the show, Francesco Angelone, Chief
Marketing Officer, Etisalat Nigeria, lead sponsors of the
show, said, “Etisalat is living up to its reputation as a
lifestyle brand that is passionate about the youth and
Nigerian Idol is one of our platforms to celebrate the
Nigerian youths. K-Peace particularly has been outstanding
from the audition stage and we are glad that the voting
public has crowned a winner deserving of his crown.’’
