Lifelines


Three lifelines were presented at the beginning of the game in order to aid contestants:



  • 50/50: The computer eliminates two random wrong options, leaving the right option and the other remaining wrong option.


  • Phone a Friend: The contestant calls one of their five prearranged friends, who provided their phone numbers in advance. The contestant has 30 seconds to read the question and four possible options to the friend, who then has the remaining time to offer input.


  • Ask the Audience: Audience members use touch pads to designate what they believe the correct option to be. The percentage of the audience choosing each specific option is displayed to the contestant.

Final question right


On September 11, 2009, a contestant called Aroma Ufodike became the first person to win the ₦10 million, and currently[when?], he is the only one who won the top prize of this game show.[1][2] One of the questions related to celebrated Nigerian football referee Linus Mbah. Just like in Slumdog Millionaire Mr. Ufodike was able to answer the question from his personal experience. Mr. Mbah lived in the apartment above him or, as Mr. Ufodike put it - "He lives on top of me!"[3]



Special editions


The Nigerian variation of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire has special editions which are recorded and broadcast at certain times of the year. The Valentine Special, which comes up around February, features couples being placed on the hot seat to answer questions for the money prize together. The Children Special edition is used to commemorate the Children’s Day celebrations. It has featured children between the ages of 8-14 years of age from different backgrounds who came to play for 10 Million Naira in scholarships.[4]
