Twenty-five-year old Nnaemeka Ubaekwena, has won the sum of N5 million from the MTN sponsored Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (WWTBAM) television programme.
The final year Microbiology student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, impressed the host, Frank Edoho and the audience with his intelligence, confidence and composure while answering his questions.
Speaking with P.M.Entertainment shortly after the show, Nnaemeka, who said it was a worthwhile experience going that far, hinted that “I have my eyes on real estate business, so I will likely put some money there.”
Asked how he answered the questions that won him N5 million with much ease and confidence, he replied: “I learnt the answer to the question from my Geography teacher during my SS2 days at FGC Odogbolu. The moment I saw the question, the scars I received from my teacher came alive.”
First son and second child of a family of seven, Nnaemeka described himself as “naturally curious, enthusiastic and voracious reader. My temperament is a fusion of sanguine and choleric.”
