   F inally, the TV reality show which has been the talk of the town since  kicking off in November 2010  has come to an end with Yeka Onka  becoming the first-ever Nigerian Idol
 She  returned home with a recording contract, 7.5Million naira courtesy  Etisalat and Royal Exchange, a brand new car courtesy Tom Tom and a Sony  entertainment TV center.
But just like Audu Maikori commented during the final show, Yeka is not the only winner; first runner-up Naomi won N1.5M cash prize, a Blackberry phone, Ipad, Ipod, Easy Card, standing Fridge, PS3  and other goodies. Emmanuel, the second runner up also left with N1M,  Blackberry phone, Ipad, Ipod, Easy Card, standing Fridge, PS3. Other 11  finalists also went back to their base with lavish gifts from the show’s  sponsors. 
‘But  I must insist, Pedro comments, ‘that the real prize these young people  are walking away with, is the opportunities that this platform presents;  the opportunity to cultivate whatever fan base they’ve been able to  build while here, and use all the resources available to them to build a  lasting career for themselves in the entertainment industry’  
Meanwhile,  the producers are already gearing up for the second episode of Nigerian  Idol as audition forms became available on the official website www.nigerianidol.com at midnight on March 27, 2011.
