A 53-year-old man, Vincent Okorie, was the cynosure of all eyes following his superlative display in this week’s episode of Star Football Superfans TV game show.
The Nigeria’s biggest football gameshow, sponsored by Star Lager, featured one of the most exciting moments since the show began seven weeks ago as ageless Okorie brought the audience to their feet when he scored Mila Barca FC’s third goal with his fiery performance during the extra time debate segment, effectively putting the game out of opponent Stamford FC’s reach to secure Star Lager’s N1 million grand prize for his team.
According to Okorie who is currently studying French and International Relations at the National Open University Nigeria, the victory was as a well-deserved one, one that he and his teammates, Kazeem, Michael, Tayo and Uche, prayed and prepared hard for.
Okorie’s team, MilaBarca, won the N1 million star prize after defeating their opponent, Stamford FC, made up of Chelsea fans, Ayodele, Frank, Adedeji, Chinedu and Ike.
