The event was organised by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) in conjunction with ANUB Media Limited.
Ubaka said : “It is really a wonderful journey from the first season in 2019, it started as if we were joking and the first season came and it was huge success and 2020 COVID-19 came amd we could not have it.
” A lot of people thought the show will not come alive again but in 2021 we were able to hold the second season of the show and the achievement recorded in the second season was actually wow. It actually doubled and even tripped what we had in the first season.
“There is the saying that never underestimate the power of little beginning and you know alot of people keep comparing us with some shows that have been there and we keep telling them that we will get there.”
