Gulder Ultimate Search 9 Gets October 20 Date | Anticipation Mounts

For those familiar with reality TV shows in Nigeria, the ranking of the Gulder Ultimate Search has always remained within the clouds and that's precisely why the 2012 edition; Gulder Ultimate Search 9 is presently gathering loads of momentum as it's October 20 kick-off date gets closer.

While its teeming viewers and fans are familiar with the fact that countless millionaires have been born from this reality TV show and for eight consistent years, this has remained unchanged, fingers remain crossed as to what format this year's edition would take.

However, this year, there appears to be a wind of change on the horizon especially if PUNCH newspaper's recent report about the search for the best amongst previous winners is anything to go by.

Here was how PUNCH put it:

In this wise, many participants are likely to be puzzled by the beauty, valour, candour and other attributes the winners may variously possess.

The champions, popularly called “Ultimate Men”, who have emerged from inception till date are: Ezeugo Ewuagwu (2004), Duncan Chambliss (2005), Hector Joberteh (2006), Dominic Mudabai (2007), Michael Nwachukwu (2008), Uche Nwaezeapu (2009), Oyekunle Oluwaremi (2010) and Christopher Okagbue (2011).

A statement from the organisers adds, “Viewers can also have their say in choosing the best individual to have anchored the show so far. The list includes Chidi Mokeme, who anchored the first two seasons (2004 and 2005) and Austin ‘Tintin’ Imevbore, a former on-air personality, who anchored Season 3 (2006). Bob-Manuel Udokwu has been the show anchor for the past five seasons (2007 – 2011), while Dare Art-Alade co-anchored Season 8, which was held in 2011, with Udokwu.

As the anticipation continues to rise, the coming days would surely prove interesting as facts and events continue to unfold.
