Odudu Otu emerged the winner of Gulder Ultimate search ‘Age of Craftsmanship’ season 12 on Sunday. Otu, 22, won the ultimate prize after finding the Chest which contains the secret of the proverbial Akolo’s secret brew. The athlete, who hails from Akwa Ibom, made it to the top four and was only confirmed to join the rest on the unveiling day.
Odudu is an athlete and enjoys playing basketball. He wants to be a model and owns his own Not-For-Profit Organisation.His dream is to play basketball at a professional level and also be a business consultant. He sees Lebron James as his role model.
Viewers who have been following this season’s Gulder Ultimate Search: Age of Craftsmanship would likely say Odudu cut an unassuming figure at the beginning until the later part of the show. He did not have the puzzle-solving skills of Damola or the tact of Damilola. In fact, he seemed to just always do enough not to be evicted while staying in the shadow. It wasn’t until he won the 14th task that many began to notice him.
He was a member of the Iroko clan which also had members like Damola, Yankari, Esitima, Tobechukwu, and Gerald which was considered the strongest clan in Amorokin camp. Thus, it seemed difficult for Ododu to have been noticed. Gerald was predicted as a possible winner due to his performance in the early period of the show but was one of the first to be evicted. Esitima found three boomerangs and was one of those who made it to the top seven. Damola who was also in the same clan as Odudu also made it to the final.
Odudu goes home with N50 million worth of prizes including an SUV as well as a return ticket to Dubai.
