Evelle defeated her fellow contestants, smiling home with the star prize of N7.5million, a brand new SUV, an iPhone, iPad, tablet and a mouth-watering recording deal with the UniversalStudio.
The competition which began January 2014 lasted about 19 weeks. The Nigerian Idol train explored four cities in the quest for the most talented singer. Lagos, Benin, Calabar and Makurdi hosted the auditions that produced 100 contestants who were given passes to Lagos for a second round of screening.
Congratulating Evelle on her win, Enitan Denloye, Etisalat’s Director, Brands and Communications, sponsors of the show, said “It has been great for us at Etisalat to be a part of this show, Evelle consistently put up a commendable performance on a weekly basis and the audience did not disappoint her as they voted accordingly. She indeed impressed everyone right from when she auditioned; it is indeed a well-deserved win.”
Obviously filled with joy, Evelle could not control her happiness; with tears rolling down her eyes, she smiled and laughed intermittently amid flashing lights from cameras as everyone present attempted to get pictures of her.
Asked what she felt about emerging the 4th winner of the competition, Evelle noted that she didn’t expect to be announced winner. “I am still in shock” she said, “all this feels like a mirage to me. I know I gave my best all through the competition but it was a fierce contest. I want to thank every single person out there who voted for me from the beginning of the competition. It is because of their votes that I am being celebrated today, and I give God the glory for letting me win.” she said.
On what she would do with the prize money, Evelle said she would invest most of it in her music career to ensure she does not leave the entertainment scene and also take part of it to her church for thanksgiving.
The 23-year-old joins Yeka Onka (Nigerian Idol, 2011), Mercy Chinwo (Nigerian Idol, 2012) and Moses (Nigerian Idol 3013) in the league of Idols winners. Eye-D, the runner-up, walks away with  N1 million and a brand new car.
