Yeah....I vividly remembered ...At some point he ordered for water to cool his nerves....

I remember that show vividly... Even Frank was sitting at the edge of his chair with opened mouth that day as the man answering all the questions with much confidence and calmness.

Gone are those days with so much educative programme on our airwaves.

TripleOh7:
The day I sit down to watch BBN I'm very sure my mind will implode.

Watching other people live their lives has never been a favorite pastime of mine.

What's to be gained by watching that show anyway?

Psychology and sociology majors will explain what is there in watching others live their lives. Most Nigerians don't understand things likethis, and will never understand it.

There is a British Youtuber that watches every Reality Show you can think of, and analyses it. If you watch his program, you will understand why some watch shows like Big Brother.

It is fine if it is not something you can wrap your head around sha, we all cannot understand everything

Osobi32:
I So much has changed in Nigeria, even our great musicians such as dare art alade and Asa have gone hiding we are now left with zero talent such as Naira marley and zlantan

Yet na folks like you go dey dance to their music but, you dey here dey rant.

Adesina18111:
It wasn't funny that night ooo...my parents were even scolding him wen he wasn't sure of answer to the question to win the #10m... everybody in our sitting room dt day was crucifying him wen he said he was not going to walk away!!!...wat a memory...Frank was like...is that ur final answer...you were absolutely wrong or correct but let's go for commercial break...my heart skipped!!!!...he won oooooooo

that Frank could give someone heart attack eh..

2special:
The one l watched, that won #10 million used all the 3 options...the last question he answered was about a Nobel prize winner which he called his uncle and the uncle gave him the correct answer....such a brilliant guy

i.e to say is in dia Gene.


Op when will u stop lies?

Amanee:
This is worth celebrating indeed, but I'm not trying to shame BBNaija either.. I'm just saying..
#GodBlessNigeria

shame BBN or not, we got nothing on you.

Dear Amanee,after 7 months,your post finally made front page.Nairaland Mods no de try shaa

Project fame was my favorite.

Amanee:
Who remembers this man?

Aroma Ufodike, from Nnewi, Anambra State, who appeared on the popular TV Show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in Nigeria” on September 11, 2009, and won 10 million naira. He was the first and only person to win the top prize in Nigeria, I think.

He got all the questions without using any life line.

When he was on the last question, he said “I want to use my 'phone a friend' option to call my family at home that I’m about to win 10million Naira.”

My thoughts also go to the intellectually balanced Frank Edoho

Where is Gulder Ultimate Search? �

These are the type of programs we need to see on air not the extremely immoral Big Brother Nigeria.

This is worth celebrating indeed, but I'm not trying to shame BBNaija either.. I'm just saying..

I wish these intellectually stimulating TV programmes could return back to our homes. #GodBlessNigeria

He used the phone a friend lifeline to answer his last question, the question was about a nobel prize if i am not mistaken
He didnt use it to call his family like you said

eodavids:


You made a big point.

We deserve better than the immoral and nude-promoting programmes on our channels.

I have faculties who are educated and ready to give Nigerians live and reality programmes free of charge. They are only desirous of giving viewers alternative to immoral programmes.

The challenge is on who will sponsor the programme.
The government is supposed to be in the forefront of making sure we have safe and corruptless programmes to watch, but alas, I don't think they already think towards that.

If you have a good show, you can start small and hope to get sponsors, if the show gets popular.

Waiting for sponsors will get you nowhere. People stake their life's savings on what they believe in.

XOGBADO:
So this thread couldn't make front page?
Something's definitely wrong with the moderators

aswear down...if its "check out zlatan new baby mama's picx" it will hit front page before the op even press summit

You know the producers of the programmes are business people. They will only prefer to invest in a high return show and BBnaija is extremely viable.

He definitely isn't the only one to have won the top prize. I watched two men winning 10m then. Those were beautiful days

I loved the way that man answered his questions. He wasn't just a winner but a very entertaining one

xendra:
nah! The story OP told is 2different people, ( winners of "who wants to be a millionaire" Nigeria and America).
Aroma is the only one that has won it to the finals in Nigeria, but he wasn't the one that said he wants to phone to tell his family he has won,

That guy is an American and he only used a life line and said he wants to phone his dad, when his dad picked they thought he was going to ask his dad the question but instead he told his dad that he just won (don't remember how many millions they get to) the final, and told the correct answer.

John Capenter!

Na story dem tell am, he nor watch am

Ovie56:
chai, Op can lie, Aroma did great on the show, he used his lifeline and he never called to inform his family he was about to win, he called a friend to verify an answer, i guess you want to spice up the gist, but come on, do not lie to us like that, we are not suffering from short attention span and i wasn't that long ago cuz we're not kids here.

People with white beard, i dey suspect them

One doesn't need to sit down to reality shows to study the human nature, if that's what you're implying.

As a matter of fact, knowing that there's a camera around always will make you consciously or unconsciously act for the camera.

So the behaviour of the inmates or is it housemates are forced in that sense.

And the reason most people watch it is the same reason people stalk other people on social media.

And before social media, gathering to gossip about others.

Obviously, voyeurism is part of the human nature.

No slight on those who watch it. We all have our pastimes.

Osobi32:
I watched the program the day he won.... It was really amazing. Too bad this wonderful program has been replaced with bbnaija! So much has changed in Nigeria, even our great musicians such as dare art alade and Asa have gone hiding we are now left with zero talent such as Naira marley and zlantan

Next ten or 20 years you will also call naira marley and zlantan great legendary musicians,,,
The way u are calling asa dare art alade and fela
We tend to cherish people when they are gone

Okay.
Can you elaborate on this please?

Its important we give Nigerians an alternative to the extremely vulgar programmes on the air

Here is the video, the final question that made him win the money

I know someone that won money on that show.

I even remember one of the questions he was asked.

smartoliver:
Na story dem tell am, he nor watch am

Yea, you can tell by the jara (extras) in his story

Why are they bringing up this shit now?

Did the guy die of COVID19?

Please if the news is not COVID19-related, don't ever in your life distract my attention again, biko.

I mean am.

I am with the NCDC collating results for tonite's explosive result and you guys are there talking about something that happened when so many nairalanders of nowadays were not even born.

Nonsense.

I wonder what happened to that program o.. Nowadays it just bumbum shakers that are flooding our TV screen

Nope,d winning question was mat ha I wangari an environmentalist from Kenya not Marie curie.

Omoluabi16:
remember him. I think he is a professor. Very cool and calm when tackling those trivia. And I think he didn't exhaust his lifeline . he was that intelligent. His winning question was about Marie Curie.. first time I ever heard the name.
