Nigeria’s most popular TV game show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire (WWTBAM) was introduced in 2004. Anchored by Frank Edoho, this programme has continued to keep millions of people glued to their TV sets every week.
What sets this programme apart from others is the fact that it celebrates and richly rewards contestants for their knowledge of current affairs. It is also one of the very few high-profile TV programmes on national television that appeals to every segment of the population – children, youth, adults and even the aged.

As the programme celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, all stakeholders –such as the sponsors, (MTN), the producers (Ultima Studios), the contestants as well as the audience – can all look back with a sense of pride and fulfilment of what the programme has achieved.
The programme has changed the lives of over 167 Nigerians across all geo-political zones by making them instant millionaires.
While we look forward to another 10 years of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, MTN remains committed to sponsoring this award-winning show and providing much needed excitement, entertainment, education and empowerment to Nigerians!
So… Who wants to be next guest on the Hot Seat?
