29-year
old University graduate Dennis Okike has emerged the winner of the 10th edition
of Gulder Ultimate Search.
Okike beat two other finalists Edmund Umeabuani and
Ifunanya Onike by being the only person to complete the final task of finding
10th Symbol in the waters of Usaka River, Akwa-Ibom State where the reality
show was held this year.
The guy that had initially said he intended to establish
a successful international import and export business outsmarted Edmund
Umeabuani and Ifunanya Onike in the waters of the Usaka River, where the battle
for the ultimate symbol held.
With the victory, the Abia State native has won N10m and
a brand new Mitsubishi Pajero
But it is a fair story for Onike, too, as she is the Last
Female Standing, winning an added one million naira.
Also, a final year
student of Industrial Mathematics in the Federal University of Technology,
Owerri, Kalu Kalu, emerged the first
winner of the first ever fans edition of the Gulder Ultimate Search.
Kalu also won a
brand new Mitsubishi Pajero 3.0L GLX MT, courtesy of CFAO Motors, the
automotive partner of Gulder Ultimate Search 10.
He says, “I feel very happy to be the first winner of the
first GUS Fans’ Edition; the first ‘Ultimate Conqueror’. It is a dream come
true. My friends started calling me Ultimate Conqueror when I told them I was
coming for the search. I took the risk
of a night journey to get here for the search and it was very stressful. I
can’t explain how I feel right now.”
A statement from the organisers gives details of the last
scene of the competition. According to them, on the final day of the search,
the warriors got a message from the ‘Council of Elders’ ordering them to pack
their bags and make their ways to where they draw water.
“Chidi awaited them and gave them the next set of
instructions.
The final task was to search for the 10th symbol.
To do that, each of them would make use of a clue which
would take them to two different locations to retrieve two pieces of the m ap that would lead to where the 10th symbol
was buried. Another clue at their first locations would direct them to the next
location. It was a race against time and the last man to the next location was
evicted.
“After many 2 hours plus of futile efforts Dennis
eventually dug up the sceptre from under a slant palm tree in the river and
thereby ended the long search for the 10th symbol.
“He was instantly inducted into the Order of Heroes as
the 10th Ultimate Man by Chidi Mokeme, the anchor-man.”
