Veteran rapper
and Manchester United fan- Ruggedman defeated Gbenga Adeyinka- an
Arsenal fan- to emerge the winner of the first version of Celebrity
Super fan Challenge on Saturday January 11,2014.
The event whose
organiser - female sports presenter Kiibati Bankole had promised would
be the most exciting football party in Nigeria, lived up to
expectations, as football fans from all works of life stormed the venue
in Opebi and had the time of their lives.
Both
contestants were thoroughly entertaining and did justice to all the
questions fired at them by Kiibati and a panel of judges that included
actor Segun Arinze, Beverly Osu from Big Brother Africa and
comedian/singer Jafextra.
One of the
highpoints of the event was when Kiibati asked Gbenga to compose a rap
track dissing his opponent's club (Manchester United) and Ruggedman to
compose a joke making fun of Arsenal and make everyone in the audience
laugh, in a reverse of their proffessions.
This exercise left everyone in the audience rolling in laughter, as they both aced the assignment.
Another
highpoint of the night was when they were tasked by the judges to dance
to an akpala track while displaying football related moves. Ruggedman
was awarded this round by the judges, winning the tightly fought match
by 5 goals to 4.
Overall, it was an exciting event, with musical performances by EFA and Jaffextra, and food and drinks from the organisers.
We look forward to the next event and hope that the contestants will be as lively and creative as these two were.
