Twelve men and women have been selected
to compete in the seventh edition of the Gulder Ultimate search, tagged
‘The Ultimate Hero’. As Freeze, On-Air-Personality for Cool FM, who
anchored the event, pointed out, “the search, this time, is not for a
treasure it is for a personality that reflects the Gulder brand.”

Out of the 41 hopefuls shortlisted
after three weeks of rigorous screening in four zones across the
country, 18 were eventually selected to be called on-stage at Lagoon
Restaurant, Victoria Island Lagos, where the event to unveil the final
ten was held last Saturday.

The moderator, under the watchful eyes
of guests and the organisers, was saddled with the task of pruning down
the prospective contestants, and in a lively interactive session the
candidates and the guests; this feat was eventually achieved,
interspersed with several ecstatic outbursts from the candidates
selected.

However, to the puzzlement off not a
few, the management of Nigerian Breweries Plc, through their
representatives at the event, communicated to the moderator on stage
that, in the spirit of the 40 year anniversary of the Gulder brand in
Nigeria, which is being celebrated this year, the organisers of the
show have decided to increase the number of contestants to 12. One male
and one female contestant who had lost hope earlier, were picked to
join the 10 earlier chosen.

Winners of past editions of the reality
show, Ezugo Egwuagu, Michael Nwachukwu and Uche Nwaezeapu ; music diva
Mumma Gee and Nollywood actor and past anchor of the programme Bob
Manuel-Udokwu were in attendance at the event

Among the lucky finalists chosen are:
Shehu Atiku, Henry Ogarachukwu, and Okorogo Simeon, who has shown
dedication to being part of the show by taking off his six-year grown
dreads, in order, according to him, “to fit the image of the ultimate
man.”

The contestants, all between ages 21 to 27 will be taken to the Omo
Forest Reserve in Ogun State to confront one another and nature’s
elements in a 21-day search.
