Abuja-based Glory Oriakhi and viewer’s favourite, Biodun Bello (BB), have joined Naomi and Ola in the top ten phase of the Nigerian Idol.

Based in different locations of Nigeria, the young hopefuls are not only childhood friends but also final year Law students in different universities in  Nigeria.

Glory, the first contestant to get a golden ticket at the Abuja audition, has lived in the Federal Capital Territory all her life and has been involved in  music right from her early years in the children choir. She is a final year Law student of the University of Abuja.

BB, a 400 level Law student of Igbinedion University, is based in Kano.  A dancer and choreographer, she started singing in church at the age of seven.

“I’m so excited I made it to the top 10. I missed classes in school because of Nigerian Idol and I am glad it’s not in vain,” she enthused.
