Akunna, joined the Season 7 top six to perform the song "Oliver
Twist" by D'Banj, which was released 10 years ago. It was exhilarating,

the judges and audience. And with a standing ovation, the judges include Obi
Asika, Dapo Oyebanjo popularly known by his stage name D'banj, Simisola
Bolatito Kosoko popularly known as Simi, and IK Osakioduwa, the host.

"Anybody" by Burna Boy was sensational, and it was applauded by
Asika, who enthused that he did well. "You have made Burna Boy
proud," Asika avowed, while Simi and D'Banj affirmed that they were
surprised at first when he started, thinking he might not go far with it, but
were wowed with his performance.

Magixx, a gig that made Simi excited saying "I enjoyed the song, overjoyed
with the way you delivered it," while D'Banj and Asika with smiles said,
"it was amazing."
Itohan, who is 17, the youngest of the contestants did
justice to the song "NaGode" by Yemi Alade, a show of talent that got
D'Banj thrilled, saying "each time you get on stage, you perform well
considering your age. Content is in you and it is the biggest exploit,"
while Simi avowed "Good one" and Asika stated, "You are very
comfortable when you sing, that was lovely."
Intriguingly, Zadok, whose performance the previous week
kept the judges entertained, sang Kiss Daniel's "Laye" and got the
audience carried away with his stage display, body movement, and with a
standing ovation, was hailed for his continuous musical skills, as Simi stated,
"Zaddy Baby, l love you." D'Banj on his part urged him to keep the
fire burning in him.
Also, Faith did well with "Emiliana" by Ckay, and
got the judges elated, with Simi’s comment that she goes for songs that suits
her voice. D'Banj expressed his satisfaction
with Faith's act saying "God bless you" and Asika with
"beautiful performance."
Progress, who came up with a wonderful performance with Ayra
Starr's "Bloody Samaritan" was commended by Asika who said "you
brought in positive energy into your act and you did well," while Simi
praised him saying, "it was astonishing." Not left out was D'Banj,
with "l love how you perform."
Consequently, another glorious moment that form part of the
Nigerian Idol show was the presentation of a birthday cake to Simi by her
superfan, the top-notch highlife artiste, Adekunle Gold.
