After months of competing against some of Africa’s finest talents in front of a huge global audience and in the presence of three of the toughest judges you would find on the planet, Shaapera, emerged as the maiden winner of TECNO Own The Stage.

It was a culmination of months of hard work for the Nigerian who went home with the competition’s grand prize of $25,000 (Kes 2.5 million) at the end of last Sunday’s Grand Finale held in Lagos, Nigeria.

In addition, she also earned for herself a recording deal as well as a brand new TECNO Phantom 5.

In second place was the Tanzanian, Nandy, who went home with $15,000 (Kes 1.5 million), a three-month internship programme at the internationally acclaimed Chocolate City, and a Tecno Phantom 5 smartphone, while Pascal, from Kenya, finished in third place and earned for himself $10,000 (Kes 1 million) and a Tecno Phantom 5 smartphone.

Sikin, who was the other Kenyan that made it into Sunday’s Grand Finale, placed fourth at the end of the show. But she also looks destined for greatness after putting up a series of exceptional performances from the show’s outset.

It seemed not long ago when 15 contestants – five each from Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania – come together in the city of Lagos in their quest to be crowned the continent’s best.

But after over 13 weeks of intense competition the battle for who would lay claim to the right to be called King or Queen of the stage became a four-way battle for glory.

But there was only going to be one overall winner which turned out to be the multitalented Shaapera from Nigeria who, it seems, could do no wrong in the eyes of the judges – Bien, Yemi and M.I.

And the 29-year-old has been all over the various social media outlets thanking fans of the karaoke-based show, as well as her followers, for making her dream come true.

And just in case you had forgotten, Shaapera had a few weeks ago, when asked what she would do if she ended up winning the competition’s grand prize, stated that she would head to a music studio to record some of her songs.

And if information from sources close to the singer and rapper are anything to go by, she has hundreds of songs eagerly waiting to be heard.
