'We won the election and we will prove it to Nigerians,' Labour’s Peter Obi has reiterated his criticism of the poll - adding that people had been robbed at the ballot box. He has pledged to prove through the courts that he had won.

Libianca has an astonishing voice, warm, melodious and versatile – Rolling Stone magazine called her"the afro-soul siren who can do everything".

I’m a very competitive person. I don’t like to lose. So, when I got eliminated I was like: 'I was doing so good on this show and I didn’t win? Are you serious! Something’s wrong!' I didn’t see what purpose The Voice was serving at the time. But God knew because fast-forward a year later - I’m able to perform in any setting that I am put in because of that experience."

I wake up in the morning and things have just flipped over, what’s going on? But with time I understood it’s the lyrics that speak more than anything. If I was talking about anything that a bunch of songs already talk about, it probably would have done good, but not as good as what it’s doing now." Libianca also told me about having to be uprooted from the US aged four because her mother was being threatened with deportation, then settling in Bamenda, Cameroon until her teens. The family then moved back to Minnesota, and the young Libianca had to adjust again:

I always had a piano in my room, then I started playing guitar in middle school, music was what kept me going, like, everything can change but music was always the constant in my life."
