A Night of Second Chances on Africa Magic’s Indomie Love Bowl Game Show
The latest episode of the Indomie Love Bowl provided four families from previous episodes with a second chance to win a spot at the grand finale. It was a night of stiff competition and heart-stopping moments. The atmosphere echoed with energy as the audience cheered, showing their excitement at seeing their favorite families back on the show.
The episode featured the Omo Ibrahim Family (Red Team), Ajanaku Family (Green Team), Sholuade Family (Blue Team), and Popoola Family (Yellow Team), all vying for a spot in the grand finale.
The show kicked off with the Fire Round segment to decide the first game of the night. The Omo Ibrahim Family won the round, earning themselves 6 points and the opportunity to reveal the starting game.
The first game of the night, Finish The Lyrics, made its debut on the show. The four families attempted to finish the lyrics of the popular Indomie jingle. The Yellow Team won that round with 20 points.
The Indomie Jenga, another new game on the show, was one of the audience favorites. The kids were required to find out the last man standing in the game. The Yellow Team won this round, earning themselves double their points thanks to their use of the love card, which allows participants to double their scores.
The third game of the night, the Indomie Toss, challenged the kids to toss a sack into netted holes, which carried different points determined by the distance. The Red Team won this round with 50 points.
It was all about teamwork in the final round. The kids were asked to draw words from a selected category while the moms had to guess the words correctly.
At the end of the night, the Popoola family’s Mum and son duo were crowned winners, earning a coveted spot in the grand finale.

Actor Lalude Laments Unpaid N1.5m Promised Him by MC Oluomo to Campaign for Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu
Nollywood actor, Fatai Adekunle Adetayo, popularly known as Lalude, has accused the president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), MC Oluomo, of failing to fulfil financial promises made to celebrities who campaigned for President Bola Tinubu and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, during the 2023 general elections.
Speaking during a recent episode of the Beyond the Fame podcast, Lalude expressed deep disappointment over what he described as abandonment, revealing that he and other entertainers were promised N1.5 million each by MC Oluomo but never received a dime.
Lalude, known for his iconic ‘babalawo’ roles in Yoruba movies, said he and other actors, including comedian Ganiu ‘Alapini’ Nofiu, were lodged and made to campaign for weeks without proper compensation.
According to him, they initially received N10,000 daily for feeding, but even that was stopped abruptly.
“We were camped for seven weeks. We trekked long distances every day while MC Oluomo followed us in his car. In the end, we were abandoned,” he lamented.
He claimed that both he and Alapini were promised N1.5 million each, a promise that was never fulfilled.
‘We finished the work and no dime was given to us. Is it good? It was MC who called us.
“MC promised me and Alapini. He asked us to demand for whatever we wanted. We did but we got nothing up till date.
“He took us to where we lodged to campaign for the president. He promised to give us N1.5 million each.
“Whoever is behind these misdeeds will not prosper. I know they will still come to us by 2027 and we are waiting for them?” He added bitterly.
This comes just days after veteran Nollywood actor Ganiu Nafiu, popularly known as Alapini, and actress Bukky Adekogbe Raji, also known as Aminatu Papapa, expressed deep regret for supporting President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential campaign.

Mr Peters was known for his work on several stage plays and sitcoms, including Extended Family, and he was behind the hit comedy sitcom Flatmates in the early 2000s. He was also regarded as a significant contributor to Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television space.
