The Gulder Ultimate Search has come to an end with Odudu Otu, a sports enthusiast from Akwa Ibom, emerging as the winner of the coveted prize.
He beat three other contestants to emerge as the ultimate man in a keenly contested finale.
Odudu joined the show as a wild card and remained largely under the radar. He was not particularly outstanding in many aspects of the tasks, but he always managed to scale through.h
Viewers started paying him attention during the individual tasks stage of the show, especially when he won the 14th task.
More than 20,000 Nigerians applied for this season’s Gulder Ultimate Search regional selection process before those who made the longlist were sent to the Sea School.
Ultimately, 20 names were shortlisted with 16 of them confirmed. Odudu was one of the last four and was only confirmed to join the rest on the unveiling day.
He was a member of the Iroko clan which also had members like Damola, Yankari, Esitima, Tobechukwu, and Gerald.
It was the strongest clan in Amorokin camp, which would explain why it was difficult for Ododu to stand out. His mates in the group were very strong and did well at tasks.
Indeed, is teammate, Gerald was so good that he was tipped by fellow contestants and many viewers to win the competition. Interestingly, he 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.
In the final episode of the show broadcast on DSTV on Boxing Day, Odudu emerged winner of the 2021 edition of the Gulder Ultimate Search after finding the Chest which contains the secret of the proverbial Akolo’s secret brew.
