The 18 contenders of the Gulder Ultimate Search Season 12 have been tasked with searching for Akolo’s secret.

The 12th edition of GUS with the theme, The Age of Craftsmanship, takes viewers back to a small town called Ijuka, which existed many centuries ago.

According to the story from the organisers of GUS, a mysterious craftsman named Akolo appeared in the town one day and settled down amongst the blacksmiths and woodcarvers. He soon began to teach the best among the people because his skills were superior to theirs. His name spread beyond the town, but what drew the attention of many was his special brew.

Akolo’s brew was nothing like any that existed in the town. He used ingredients which no one had ever seen before that he got from trading his great works with European merchants. The king soon heard of his fame and appointed Akolo to be a member of his advisory council.

Although Akolo formed a close bond with the king, he never revealed the recipe of his brew. That was a secret Akolo guarded jealously. As the fame of his brew grew, trading routes began to pass through Ijuka, and many sought to taste his brew. Ijuka became a prosperous town, and soon enemies began to gather. They were jealous of Akolo’s wisdom and his close bond with the king and wanted the secret of his brew for themselves. They tried several times to kill him but to no avail. Fearing for his life, Akolo left the town for the mangrove forest with his secret brew recipe and all his knowledge, never to be seen again. Ijuka, a once prosperous town, suffered Akolo’s absence and was soon laid to waste by foreign invaders.

Now, the council of elders has chosen 18 brave warriors to go back in time to The Age of Craftsmanship to search for the iron chest containing Akolo’s secrets.

The season begins as the 18 contenders have to prove they are worthy of retrieving the iron chest of the wise craftsman Akolo.

Viewers of Big Brother Naija Season 10 were left stunned on Monday morning after housemates Dede and Joanna were evicted through an unexpected red phone twist.

The twist unfolded when the red telephone rang inside the house and Dede answered.

The show host, Ebuka instructed her to pick a fellow housemate without explanation, then she chose Joanna, and moments later both were told they had been evicted.

Biggie later did the usual countdown for them to leave the house.

The sudden announcement left housemates in disbelief, with Sultana visibly unsettled while Isabella insisted it might be a fake eviction, recalling similar moments in previous seasons.

This has also fuelled speculation that the duo may have been moved to a secret room, a tactic Big Brother has deployed in past editions to build suspense.

The development comes barely 24 hours after Big Soso, Ivatar, and Doris were evicted during Sunday’s live show.
