Dennis Okeke Says He Has Achieved His Ambition By Winning Gulder Ultimate Search

Dennis Okeke in a recent interview with PunchNG expressed his happiness about winning the Gulder Ultimate Search. Here are some excerpts from the interview below;

Why did you decide to go in for Gulder Ultimate Search 10?

I had the craving to be a part of the show. I saw myself as being an Ultimate Man someday. I have always had the dream. My friend, Uche Nwaezeapu, won the GUS in 2006. He wasn't as athletic as I was back then. He was just the guy next door and didn't participate in any sports while we were in school. Now, I started seeing him on TV and he became the winner. So I felt if Uche could win, I could as well. I prayed about it and from that day, I started working towards it.

That means just as Uche won, your life ambition was to be a part of GUS?

That is true, very true. When the show came out 10 years ago, I liked it. But I was scared of the jungle.
But when I saw Uche my friend doing it, I knew I could do it as well. He was my best friend in
secondary school. He coached me all the while; he made sure I practised my swimming. He pushed me so hard. He told me that I wouldn't remember all I have gone through when I start reaping the fruits of it. He was the motivational person I needed. I think I owe all of this to him.
