She later honed her artistry while studying Dramatic Arts at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).

Purp has a soulful, expressive, theatrical gift, and she is known for turning every song into an emotional story.

Raymu, who made the first runner-up position, also gave a good account of himself. The 28-year-old from Delta State, Irorosuayire Ogheneruemu, made the final.

Lawrence and Mikki, who made it to the top, had bowed out in an emotional double elimination, clearing the path for this powerful showdown.

The tenth season of Nigeria Idols, anchored by the versatile I K Osakioduwa, came to a climax with all the contestants performing together and even the Judges Ric Hassani, Iyanya, and Omawumi entertaining the audience.
