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.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.

Veteran Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello has sparked controversy with her unconventional advice to young women about commercial sex work.

Featuring in a recent episode of the Moraya Show, the actress claimed that it is okay for ladies to engage in commercial sex work if it is for survival or pressing needs.

Bello said she doesn’t judge commercial sex workers but rather she encouraged them to do it well with respect.

She, however, warned that women who go into sex work due to pressing needs shouldn’t tarry in it.

“If what you are doing now is being a ‘runs girl’ to make money, you don’t have to stay there. I understand it, I never judge. If you go be ash*wo, do am well. Do it well with respect and your full-chest.

“However, don’t stay there. If that is what you have to do right now to make a living.. Some girls are doing it because they need to feed mom, send their younger ones to school. I understand it. However, my darlings, don’t stay there,” she advised.

Popular social media critic and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has reacted angrily to the trending AI-generated video allegedly linked to him, blasting presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga and accusing the government of ignoring worsening insecurity.

Recall that the comment comes amid a vow by the Presidency on Wednesday to prosecute Nigerian social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VDM, for allegedly sharing a fake audio clip of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

An X user, @Pious_minister, shared a post alleging that an AI-generated audio of the President was used in one of VDM’s videos.

In the viral audio, a voice mimicking Tinubu allegedly claimed that insecurity in Nigeria would continue because Nigerians did not vote for him during the 2023 presidential election.

Reacting to this via a video posted on his social media page, VeryDarkMan described Onanuga as “stupid” and “daft,” insisting he would not defend the controversial AI clip.

The activist questioned why the Presidency had remained silent over the recent abduction of teachers and students in Oyo State, alleging that one of the kidnapped teachers had been beheaded while the victims remain in captivity on Children’s Day.

“President spokesman Bayo, you are a very stupid old man. I’m not trying to insult you, but look at the meaning of stupid. That’s what you represent. That is who you are.

“I swear to God, you are so daft, and this is the reason why I said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should not come back in 2027 because all the people that operate under him don’t use their brains.

“You are so stupid. I know say una don get me for mind and think say part of an agenda. You see this audio, I will not defend it. You no dey shame.

“Now you can talk. Bandits went into a school in Oyo State, they carried three teachers, one man, two women, they carried students. One of the teachers was backing an infant child. Few days later, there was a report that one of the teachers was beheaded. Bayo Onanuga, where is your comment on that?

“As I speak to you today, it is Children’s Day. Those children are still in an unknown location. I want to see wetin una wan do. It’s only stupid people that will believe that video.”
