Twenty-two-year-old Odudu Otu has emerged winner of the 2021 edition of Gulder Ultimate Search Season 12.
He was declared winner after enduring several challenges in the grand finale with three other contestants.
In the final episode of the show broadcast on DSTV on the Boxing Day, Odudu emerged winner after finding the Chest which contains the secret of the proverbial Akolo’s secret brew.
He goes home with N50 million worth of prizes including an SUV as well as a return ticket to Dubai.
Odudu, who hails from Akwa Ibom State (South-South region of Nigeria), is a seasoned sports personality, a model and owns a non-profit organisation.
He was born in 1999 to the Otu family. He is a lover of basketball and his role model is Lebron James.
He also enjoys swimming and reading.
Odudu, a wildcard on the show, was presented with an Innoson SUV courtesy the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Motors.
Over 20,000 Nigerians applied for this season’s Gulder Ultimate Search regional selection process before those who made the long list were sent to the Sea World.
Odudu was a member of the Iroko clan which also had members like Damola, Yankari, Esitima, Tobechukwu, and Gerald which was considered the strongest clan in Amorokin camp.
Gerald was predicted as a possible winner due to his performance in the early period of the show but was one of the first to be evicted.
Esitima found three boomerangs and was one of those who made it to the top seven.
Damola, who was also in the same clan as Odudu, also made it to the final.
It was during the individual tasks that Odudu began to show why he was a worthy winner.
It seemed all the energy, strategy, and endurance in him were let out in full bloom.
While it seemed other contestants were beginning to tire, he was just beginning and he maintained this level of performance till the end.
The season, tagged Age of Craftmanship, saw 18 warriors (contestants) begin their journey into the forest on October 16.
The reality show reached its peak last week when the four warriors emerged the last standing in search of the great Akolo’s chest.
The first season of the Gulder Ultimate Search sponsored by Nigerian Breweries was held in 2004.
