Nigerian Idol Winners Plan Joint Album

The trio of Yeka Onka, Naomi Mac Ebiama and Emmanuel Patrick, winner, first and second-runners up respectively at the recently concluded Nigerian Idol, has concluded plans to release a joint musical album into the Nigerian musical market.

This was disclosed this last week when they paid a courtesy visit to the corporate head office of Seven-Up Bottling Company Plc, one of the associate sponsors of the reality TV show.

Although they did not give full details on the title and when the album would be released, Showbiz Trends gathered that it will be a great hit that will really create a new direction for music in the country.

The trio could not hide their excitement and appreciation to the soft drink giant for being part of the sponsors of the show, saying that this move has really helped in making their dreams come true.

The Nigerian Idol winners were received by top management staff of the company led by Mr. Femi Mokikan, the Executive Director, Human Resources; Mr. Mazen Al-Masari, Marketing Manager, Pepsi Company International; Mr. Mani Siddhartha, Business Development System Manager, SBC Plc and Mr. Ali Jagri, the Financial Controller, among others.

Yeka and Naomi were later presented with letters of sponsorship on a weekend all-expense paid trip to South Africa by Pepsi.

The trio (Yeka, Naomi and Emmanuel) were also presented with branded refrigerators and will also enjoy free supply of SBC products for six months.
