The Nigeria idol television reality show season five, has now reached her third and final batch group stage performance with a final set of eleven contestants put up for eviction, ITRealms reports.  

ITRealms gathered that the contestants which were all pooled from the top 30 performed before the show’s celebrity judges, at the weekend, at the OMG Dreams studios, Lagos.
Speaking further on the overall performances on the night, ITRealms learnt that Darey, one the show’s judges, was full of commendations for all the contestants, “This set of eleven is not bad at all. They tried their best to put in the work-some of them sleepless night and over singing killed them today, but some really came shining too. Some of them took the songs that did not suit their kinds of voice, but that happens, and it’s a competition. Somebody must make mistakes for somebody else to win. It’s not always in the winner’s hands alone, it’s a mixture of things such as wrong an opponent’s mistakes, wrong choice of songs, etc.” he said.
ITRealms gathered that the contestants up for eviction are Precious, Mauriz, Ayoka, K-peace, David, Meyar, Sopriye, Jaytunes, Uloma, Oluchi and Orubo.
Although all eyes are on four of the contestants, namely K-Peace, Precious, Ayoka and Sopriye, but as ITRealms learnt, voting opens on Sunday night and will close 11.59 pm on Wednesday and the first three contestants with the highest number of votes will automatically qualify for the top 12 while the evicted eight will hope for the judges’ three wild cards at the conclusion of the group stage phase in a week’s time.
