Ayuba lights up Nigerian Idol

According to Tribune, It was a memorable evening that was full of electrifying performance from Bonsue Fuji creator and KORA award winner, Adewale Ayuba when he mounted the stage to give the audience, the last three contestants and the judges of the popular reality television programme, Nigerian Idol a remix of his popular hit track, 'We are happy People' last Sunday.
The evening gave the audience more than they bargained for when Nigeria's top musicians of the 80s and 90s paired with the young bloods of the music reality show, giving the judges, the trio of Femi Kuti, Jefrrey Daniels and Yinka Davies a difficult evening to handle.

Femi Kuti, Yinka Davies and Jeffrey Daniel grooved to the enthusiastic performances. Safeeyat, one of the contestants, has struggled with performance issues, but she looked set to put all that behind her as she performed her duet with Fuji legend Adewale Ayuba and Safeeyat 'We are Happy People'. The collaboration had the judges dancing in their seats and the audience up on their feet, singing along.

Debbie Rise, performed like she was having the time of her life as she sang with the illustrious Stella Monye, reprising Stella's monster hit 'Oko Mi Ye'. An awe-struck Debbie Rise was visibly stunned after her performance, and the duet certainly created a party atmosphere in Dream Studio.

Guest judge Mike Okri paired with Moses for the classic hit, 'Time na Money'. The stupendous performance had the audience chanting Moses' name, and even had Jeffrey saying, "The most electrifying performance of the night!"

Speaking shortly after his performance, Adewale Ayuba who stole the night with his performance and dancing steps disclosed that he was happy to be part of the show that has become youths favourite. "It is not a gainsaying that my brand of music is very appealing to all classes of people, especially the youth and that is why I have come to grace this event because I love what the organizers are doing. I want to urge the government to show more support for events that are capable of uniting the youth and bringing out the best in them," he said.
