For Accolade TMP, it was more accolade for the rising star, who triumphed to win the Naija Star Search season two and a cash prize of N20 million.
In the same vein, Udoye’s onstage charisma and vocal dexterity distinguished him amongst the last three contestants of the talent show to win the ninth edition of Nigerian Idol with a cash prize of N30 million, a brand-new SUV, and a one-year premium subscription to DStv Explora Plus.
While Udoye won the hearts of fans after winning the hearts of the Nigerian Idol judges that include 9ice, Omawumi, and Ric Hassani, Accolade TMP remained a darling of the judges of NSS that include Cobhams Asuquo, Sasha P, and Vector.
