7. Christopher Okagbue
Christopher Okagbue emerged the winner of Gulder ultimate Search 8. He was born on June 23, 1987 into the royal family of former Obi of Onitsha, H.R.H Obi Ofala Okechukwu Okagbue and Ogechukwu Clara Okagbue of Onitsha Kingdom, Anambra state. Why can’t these people just enjoy their statuses? No they want to work.

If I were in their shoes, I’d lay in a bathtub filled with fresh goats milk, nibble on grapes and strawberries. Well besides his win, the prince has a career in modelling with 5 awards from the industry. Kudos lad.

I think I need to go trace my roots, who knows, I might just be royalty too.
