Unapologetic Christian singer Esther Benyeogo has won the 3rd edition of The Voice Nigeria. Esther’s win marks the first time in the history of Nigerian singing competitions that an unapologetic Christian would emerge as winner.
Throughout her journey Esther was known for not shying away from the fact she loves God, a fact that was clear in her constant use of the name of Jesus in her performances. Her astounding performances and stage presence left audiences eyes wide open, gasping heartbeats and trembling feet in all the 18 weeks she spent in the competition with culminated in her walking away with the star prize of Ten million Naira, a recording deal from Universal music group and an SUV.
Coach Darey who was her guide throughout the entire season shared, “Esther has consistently shown throughout the season that she is indeed phenomenal. Her passion, dedication and commitment to improvement were clear signs that she had her eye on the prize and I cannot be more pleased by the outcome. Certainly, all the talents this season devoted themselves to every one of their performances, but evidently, Esther stood out and I am so proud to have been her coach. It is my great pleasure to congratulate Esther on this big win! Now, it is time for us to celebrate.”
