Gulder Ultimate Search 2010 Winner



Twenty-three year old Ekiti state born Oluremi Oyekunle, emerged season 7 winner of the Nigerian Breweries sponsored reality show, the Gulder Ultimate Search.

He emerged a winner after a tension soaked and pulsating challenge that left viewers gasping for breath. The journey towards the final showdown began when Chukwuma Anyanwu, 21, lost out in the day’s second challenge allowing Adeleke, Atiku and Oyekunle to make the final.

The final challenge would take a combination of mental and physical strengths to scale through, task master Bob had told the finalists as this was also a crucial factor in determining who the ultimate hero would be.

After the countdown, Atiku was the first to shoot forward. He was able to hook his bundled plates, climbed over the wooden wall, landed safely and ran straight into the bush to sort out his prototype box, and began to set the two boxes that were needed to complete the scale with which he will climb up to cut down the suspended bridge that leads straight to the champion zone.

Whoever got to the champion’s spot would lift the hero’s flag that was kept on the floor there to signify his triumph.

On the trail of Atiku was Oyekunle, Adeleke on the other hand, was left behind at the start zone, struggling to hook his bundled plates. Adeleke eventually hooked the plates and caught up with the two. To the chagrin of all, Adeleke was the first to construct one of the two boxes while others were still fumbling with theirs.

However, after about thirty minutes on the box, the ever smiling Oyekunle shocked the anchorman Bob-Manuel when he suddenly announced that he had completed all his boxes. At this time Adeleke and Atiku couldn’t just figure out the way out. The first box that Adeleke earlier constructed collapsed in his face and he became aghast.

The anxiety that had accompanied the final showdown melted away at exact 4.30pm, when the slimmest of the three warriors Oyekunle Oluremi ran wildly to the beam, took his machete, set his three boxes, climbed over the boxes, cut the rope that tied the bridge to the beam, ran across it like a wild cat, picked the pole.

Jumped inside the champion spot and hoisted the pole with the champion’s flag. Kunle’s countenance changed, his face contoured he was shouting like a cry, running madly across the field, asking rhetorically, “Am I the Ultimate Hero, Am I dreaming?” “Ah! Ah! I am The Last Man Standing”.

The highly elated Bob-Manuel, the four times Gulder Ultimate Search presenter, in the heat of the euphoria, held Kunle’s hands and declared, “by the power bestowed on me by the Council of Elders in Omo Forest, I declare you, Oyekunle Oluremi, as the Ultimate Hero we have been searching for this past 21 days, Therefore you are pronounced the winner of the 2010 Gulder Ultimate Search. Take the King’s goblet, go and celebrate”.

BBA 5 WINNER UTI...





Nigerian musician and actor, Uti Nwachukwu, yesterday won the reality TV senatation, Big Brother Africa - the All stars edition.

Beating his Zimbabwean contemporary, Munya, to win the coveted price, Uti jumped up and danced proudly singing the Nigerian national anthem after he was announced the winner.

It was a tight race as Uti and Munya were the final housemates. According to host IK, this was the closest ever finale with the winner securing the votes from 8 countries and the runner up from 7.

Uti initially participated in the 3rd season of Big Brother Africa and was one of the housemates from previous seasons chosen to enter the Big Brother All Stars house. The final five housemates were

Sheila (Kenyan), Mwisho (Tanzanian), Lerato (South African), Munya (Zimbabwean) and Uti.

It was a sweet victory for Uti, who survived a number of eviction nomination during the 91-day spell in the Big Brother house and was never sent to the barn. Uti lost his father while he was in the house.

The finale featured performances from MI, Jesse Jagz, 2Face, and Kenya’s Wyre.

Zimbabwean big brother finalist (MUNYA) to get $300,000 from Mugabe
October 21, 2010 01:11AM

A group of president Robert Mugabe's rich allies say voting was not "free and fair" in Big Brother Africa - and have promised to pay Zimbabwe's losing housemate £191,000 in compensation ($300,000).

Mr Mugabe's nephew, business tycoon Philip Chiyangwa, said the mobile phone voting system in the TV reality show was "unfair".

The Zimbabwean contestant, Munyaradzi Chidzonga, 24, was tipped to win the 91-day show but narrowly lost to a Nigerian housemate in the final vote on Sunday. He would have got £127,000 if he had won.

"The whole process was flawed. The entire vote was flawed," Mr Chiyangwa fumed, calling the show "a disgrace to Africa". Officials from MNET Africa, the continent-wide satellite TV company, said yesterday Mr Mugabe's office had demanded recordings from the show.

The president's allies have found the row over the winner a perfect propaganda opportunity for his Zanu-PF party. Mr Chidzonga's "patriotism" is being contrasted with Scottish-based Zimbabwean singer Gamu Nhengu, who was controversially eliminated from ITV's X Factor just before her UK visa ran out and has been critical of the Mugabe regime.

State media yesterday accused her of ‘peddling falsehoods about Zimbabwe,' a charge that carries a jail penalty under current laws.

Flawed and cooked

In contrast, Zimbabwe's Big Brother Africa housemate maintains that his ambition is to meet Mr Mugabe. He often appeared in the show draped in the national flag.

Mr Mugabe's nephew - a former Zanu-PF MP - has already promised Mr Chidzonga a house from his Pinnacle Holdings property company and says that if more than £191,000 is raised, "we will give it to him".

"The results were flawed and were cooked up because indications from the previous week showed Munya (radzi) was way ahead until they decided to rob him of his victory," Mr Chiyangwa complained.

The money will help the Zimbabwean housemate "get over the trauma" of losing, the Herald said. But the sheer amount of it will be unimaginable to many locals struggling to survive in an economy wrecked by three decades of misrule under Mr Mugabe, now 86.
