Whatever Happened To Zain African Challenge by adeniyi3971(m): 4:50pm On Mar 31, 2018 |
Formerly known as Celtel African Challenge, was a televised international academic quiz show featuring Africa’s top university students and watched by more than 200 million people across Africa., it provides grants to the 16 participating universities and to the students who represent the universities at the Zain Africa Challenge Championship Festival. Universities who participate in the first around of the knockout competition receive US$5,000 and each player receives $500. As the competition progresses the monetary and other grants increase: Quater-final universities receive US$100,000 and each player receives $1,000 Semifinal universities receive US$1,500,000 and each player receives $1,000 plus $500 in educational materials Therunner-up university receives US$2,500,000 and each player receives $1,000 plus $1,500 in educational materials The champion university receives US$5,000,000 and each player receives $1,000 plus $3,500 in educational materials In addition, players who teams sweep the Ultimate Challenge round in any televised match receive a US$500 per person bonus. it started 2007 and ended 2010. The likes of OAU, UI, Futa, Uniabuja, UNN, Unilag, ABU Zaria once participated but only UI won from Nigeria. Educative and informative Program. I always dreamt of participating someday, but I guess the game was stopped when Zain was bought by Airtel!! I wish any organization can just adopt the program and kick-start it once more! it's still better than having BBnaija. what's your take guys?? cc lalasticlala cc Mynd44

The show wasn't yielding revenue couple with the fact that it's audience were few. So it might be difficult for any firm to sponsor such program |

OP, I don't think you are right with the figures. Grand prize $5m? |
