My Appreciation to the VOS-25, MY Journey to the Final Stage.
Hello everyone, my great Steemians and lovely followers. I want to use this opportunity to say a very big thank you to the Steemit platform as a whole, to Steem Kids and Parents, Steem4Nigeria, Steem Music and to the host of VOS-25, @bossj23, as well as all the sponsors and supporters of this great contest, the judges, and everyone who believed in me.
I am truly grateful, and I say thank you for your support and encouragement throughout the journey. I am deeply thankful to God Almighty for His grace, strength, and guidance; none of this would have been possible without Him, and I sincerely appreciate the organizers of the VOS-25 Singing Competition for creating such a wonderful platform that celebrates talent, passion, and hard work.
Taking Second Runner-Up is an honor I cherish greatly, and I appreciate the judges for their fairness, the audience for the love and support, and everyone who stood by me; this experience has inspired me to grow, work harder, and keep the dream alive, thank you all for being part of this beautiful chapter of my life.
The journey was not an easy one, as I fell into the hands of scammers who took away everything I had worked for; I was down, I cried, lamented, and prayed for a miracle, but none came, it was a very painful and difficult moment in my life, yet I am grateful to my friends who kept encouraging me with words and support, and special thanks to @bossj23 who consistently encouraged me not to give up, even when I had to borrow phones just to make posts, and today here I am as one of the winners, truly grateful and excited.
Let me take you once again through the journey so far, from the blind audition stage down to the grand finale, enjoy as I share the experience with you.
It all started with the blind Audition stage down to the grand finale. Enjoy as I take you through the journey of my entries.
My Blind Audition, if there is one thing I would always say I have learned from this singing competition, one of them would be: " How to keep phone to record a good video" as you all can see my very first video was very bad and in a portrait form, but I keep on learning and taking correction from the host and the steemvideo Team.
My first stage, the judges stage.
The Theater week/ singing with instrument. Wow. This stage brought out the "Me" in me. Though it was a little bit stressful, but thanks to @jeromy25 who played the instrument for me. I was actually singing from live instrument, keyboard played my @jeromy25 who help me out in playing it free of charge.
The most difficult but interesting stage, the BILINGUAL STAGE. God I learned, learn and learnt over and over again before I could even be able to put up this performance. To sing the Hindi song was a challenge to pass through. I thank God I made it through.
The Final Stage.
For the final stage, I decided to sing my local dialect song, an Ibibio " Ami ye Kom Obong Abasi mmi" meaning, I will the Lord my God" it is actually a song of gratitude and thanksgiving for all what God has done in my life and for pulling me through that dark phase of life I was actually going through. And also to promote my language, since I have sang in English, Hindi and here was to say, " I am an Akwa Ibomite".
Thank you for all your support. @vicvine25 loves you all.

I appreciate this gratitude message. You all made it possible. I'll give me greatest thanks to @shahidalinaz for motivating me. He was my greatest motivation to start this singing competition. You survived a lot of stages and emerged the winner. Can't wait to see what you'll bring in the next season.
