Chinedu Ubachukwu wins N10m Gulder Ultimate Search

Chinedu Ubachukwu has beaten two other finalists, Cossy Joe and Afolabi Emmanuel, to the grand prize of the Gulder Ultimate Search season 11, which ended Thursday night.

After 26 days in the jungle of Aguleri, Anambra state, the 24-year-old graduate of petroleum and gas engineering from the University of Port Harcourt successfully completed the final task of retrieving the general’s war helmet, a symbol of this year’s search tagged ‘The Mission’.

“After 26 murderous days in the Aguleri jungle, after days and nights of pain and sorrow thinking about the unknown, nursing your wounds with sweat, with blood, it is you Chinedu who made it here,” Chidi Mokeme, anchorman of the show, said while congratulating Ubachukwu on his achievement.

” It is you who has carved your name in history. It is you who has earned the bragging rights. It is you who has made it into the elite league of extraordinary warriors. By the powers conferred on me by the council of elders, I now pronounce you last man standing!”

With this feat, Ubachukwu has been inducted into the exclusive Order of Heroes as the 11th ‘Ultimate Man’, winning himself N10 million and a brand new Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).

The other finalists will receive cash prizes for the positions they finished in.

Two other contestants will also receive brand new vehicles.

Samantha Appi will be rewarded with a brand new Ford Eco sport for emerging the last woman standing, while Otto Canon gets a Ford Focus car for winning the viewers’ choice award.

The prizes will be presented on Saturday at a ceremony to be presided over by Willie Obiano, governor of Anambra state, at the Women Development Centre, Awka.

The reality show began with 14 contestants: Otto Canon, Ikenna Emedike from Anambra state, Cosy Joe from Rivers state, Ubachukwu Chinedu from Anambra state, Otto Canon from Rivers state, Afolabi Emmanuel from Lagos state, Addoh Evi from Delta state, Iroh Noella from Imo state, Blessing Eriata from Edo state, Loretta Erijakpor from Delta state, Sandra Nwagbagiro from Anambra state, Samantha Appi from Bayelsa state, Sharon Robinson from Delta state, Joshua Nwagboso from Abia state and Iwuoha Ikenna from Imo state.
