Nigerian television personality Gideon Okeke is taking on a centre role as the host of the hot new game show The Money Drop Nigeria. DStv audiences will be able to watch the series when it launches exclusively on AfricaMagic Entertainment. Simple but riveting, each episode of The Money Drop Nigeria sees a pair of contestants get USD 100 000 in cash. Then the game begins…
And what a game it is! Before each quiz question, contestants are given a choice of two categories. Once they choose a category, they are asked a question from it and are given a choice of possible answers.
Contestants must then place the money on the answer they think is correct. Or they can split the money and place different amounts on different answers. The one rule – they must use all USD 100 000!
But, if they have placed money on the wrong answer, then they watch as it tumbles out of reach through a glass trapdoor. The tension filled process continues through seven questions after which whatever money they still have, they can keep.
With some contestants risking it all on one answer, and with others painstakingly dividing their money to keep their chances alive, it’s a game packed with emotion, tension and quite a lot of drama!
Given the exhilarating nature of the show, it’s no wonder that Gideon Okeke says that his excited reaction when told he was going to host the show was “over the top!” He goes on to say that viewers should definitely tune in to watch the series.
“Audiences are in for a thrill because it’s an exciting game show format that combines the elements of risk, reward, emotion and a more than generous start-off sum of $100 000 USD. “
Thai Magazine Editor, Somyot Prueksakasemsuk on leaving court.
A Thai magazine editor was jailed for 10 years on Wednesday for insulting the royal family under the country’s draconian lese-majeste law.
Somyot Prueksakasemsuk, editor of “Voice of the Oppressed”, a magazine devoted to self-exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, was found guilty of publishing articles in 2010 defaming King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The articles criticized the role of a fictional character meant to represent the king, public prosecutors said in a July 2011 report. Discussions about the role of the monarchy are forbidden, reports E! 365.
“The accused is a journalist who had a duty to check the facts in these articles before publishing them. He knew the content defamed the monarchy but allowed their publication anyway,” a judge said in passing sentence.
Somyot, who was jailed for an additional year on an unrelated defamation conviction, was arrested on the lese-majeste charge while Oxford-educated, pro-establishment Abhisit Vejjajiva was prime minister.
Current Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin’s sister, promised to amend the law during her 2011 election campaign but has rowed back on that since coming to office, causing divisions among her supporters.
Rights groups say the lese-majeste law is used by Thailand’s powerful elite to silence political opponents, including supporters of pro-Thaksin groups.
