Prince Chinyere Uwabie Jnr, aka Bablo J, has defeated 36 contestants to win the second edition of Jungle Search reality television show.
Uwabie went home with $10,000 worth of prizes, including a plot of land, car, and vacation.
Uwadibe hails from Port Harcourt, Rivers State, but is based in Lagos. He said, “I will visit the less privileged homes and donate items to them.”
Uwabie is a rap artist and has been in the music industry for a while. He disclosed “I have worked with artistes like Timaya, Duncan Mighty, Waconzy among others and I decided to go into the show because I always like to develop myself to see how I can cope with the other side of life.
Talking about his experience during the competition, Bablo J added, “In the first week of the jungle, I thought I would fall sick because of the different and difficult tasks we were exposed to but luckily I didn’t. I joined the jungle to discover myself but as time went on, I knew that I was going to win the show from the comments I was receiving from my fans and friends. During the show, we were allowed to use our phones for one hour every day. From comments, I knew that if I don’t win the show, a lot of people will be disappointed, but glory be to God, I eventually won the show.”
Beaming with smiles, Uwabie said, “I am a whole new person since after the show. In the jungle, I discovered some innate qualities in me. Also, I had to try to interact with other contestants in the house and let it not look as if one is being proud of himself, but because we are from different backgrounds, it was obvious that some contestants do not like me because of the way I do my things.
Some of them felt intimidated and after the show, they told me that they knew I was going to win the show. I am fulfilled that I eventually emerged as the winner.”Samuel Olumide Adebimpe, aka Samflex, second runner up, a 400 level student Computer and Communication Engineering, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, said during the competition, “ It was hectic. It wasn’t easy, the training was hard but it was for my own benefit. I met a quite different character in the House but I had to develop a manner to communicate with them that come from different backgrounds. (Sun)
