A teacher, Mr. Sammy Davies
Abraham, has received his reward
on earth by winning the sum of N5
million from the MTN sponsored
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
(WWTBAM) television game show.
The Livingstone Preparatory
School, Ibadan teacher won the
prize on Sunday night.
As a member of Deeper Life Bible
Church, Abraham confessed after
winning the prize that he didn’t
have a television set until about
four years ago when a friend sold
one to him for N3,000.
“Some years back, we members of
Deeper Life weren’t watching
television. But about four years
ago, a friend of mine gave me a
television and video player and
said I should pay just N3,000 for
them. That was how I got a
television. Even after getting it, I
really didn’t watch it because I
was not really used to gadgets
like that. But later, we started
watching it and I came across
the programme, WWTBAM,” he
said.
Abraham, 58, who graduated
from the Evangelical Presbyterian
Teachers Training School, Ghana,
in 1975, added that his wife and
kids persuaded him to participate
in the television show produced
by Ultima Limited.
He said: “I usually watch the
programme at home and most
times, get the questions
correctly. So, my wife and children
said instead of wasting my
knowledge, I should enrol to
participate in the show. That was
what motivated me to start
dialling 132. Though I once
participated in the home quiz and
won N20,000. That was about
two years ago.”
He further told P.M.NEWS that the
money he won from the TV game
show will be invested in the
establishment of a school, which
has been his dream for many
years.
“Now that God has answered our
prayers, the whole amount is
going into the project.”
The elated father of four, who
has been married since 1993,
confessed that the development
is a great relief for him, and a
testimony to the fact that
teachers can actually get their
reward on earth.
Also speaking with P.M.NEWS, his
wife, Mrs. Clementina Ngozi
Abraham, said: “I want to thank
Ultima Limited for what they are
doing. More power to their
elbows for giving people the
opportunity of getting to where
they never thought they would
be.”
