The most anticipated answer to who
will be the ultimate Champion has been provided for fans of the Gulder
Ultimate Search (GUS) reality TV show as Dennis Okike emerge the
winner of GUS season 10.
Dennis Okike has emerged the
10th Ultimate Champion. He outsmarted Dr.Edmund Umeabuani and Ifunanya
Onike in the waters of Usaka River, Akwa-Ibom State where the final battle
among the warriors fervently seeking for the 10th symbol took place. 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 map 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. Edmund and Ifunanya’s first clue led
them to the Place of the Talking Drum to retrieve the first map piece; while
Bobby and Dennis went to the Mud Field. Subsequently, Bobby and Dennis headed
to the Place of the Talking Drum for their second piece while Edmund and
Ifunanya raced to the Mud
Field. Edmund returned first,
followed by Ifunanya. Dennis edged Bobby out of the quest when he beat him to
the finish line. Bobby was instantly evicted.
With their maps pieced together, the
remaining warriors had all they needed to proceed to find the Sceptre. On their
maps three spots were marked ‘X’ as possible places the 10th Symbol was buried.
Ifunanya was in the lead, having figured out the direction first. However her
first attempt at crossing the river with the aid of a rope saw her falling into
the water while Edmund and Dennis moved on.
Edmund arrived first and headed
straight to one of the spots marked on the map and began his search. Dennis joined
shortly. Ifunanya had barely stepped in the river when Dennis raised what
turned out to be a false alarm. All he had was a piece of debris laying under
the river. The protracted search had the warriors glancing at their maps
intermittently as Dennis kept digging up dirt after dirt from the river.
After many 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.
For his feat, Dennis will win N10
million and a brand new Mitsubishi Pajero 3.0L GLS AT( full Option) courtesy of
CFAO Motors Nigeria, the official automotive partners of Gulder Ultimate Search
10. For emerging the last female contestant standing, Ifunanya is already
guaranteed N1 million in addition to her prize money.
In the same vein, Kalu Kalu, a final
year student of Industrial Mathematics in the Federal University of Technology,
Owerri, has emerged as the first winner of the first ever fans edition of
Gulder Ultimate Search. The fans edition of Gulder Ultimate Search was hosted
by Bob Manuel Udokwu. Gulder gave fans and viewers of the show a chance to
compete in Nigeria’s first 100 per cent local content reality TV show from the
comfort of their homes.
