“My immense gratitude goes to all of you for hoping that I get the job. Thank you for your kind wishes and felicitations God bless you all,” Edoho wrote.

Meanwhile, the organisers put together a press briefing held over the weekend to announce WWTBAM’s return.
According to the organisers, the grand prize has been increased to N20 million, while there are now four lifelines instead of three.
The Herald can report that ‘Ask the Host’ is the new lifeline added to ’50-50′, ‘Call a Friend’, and ‘Ask the Audience’.
Nigerians could not contain their excitement at the news, and took to Twitter to bare their minds.
