Gulder Ultimate Search Season 9: Episode 14 (Michael And James Sternly Warned Over Insubordination)

Michael Ogbuefi and James Adah escaped being punished for insubordination towards Bornford Patience the Head Warrior. They had the weather elements to thank as the clouds gave way to rain, truncating the meeting at The Place of The Talking Drum. According to Chidi Mokeme, the punishment for the pair would have been grave.

The warriors’ food basket was stolen at night and Patience as Head Warrior, directed that all be involved in the search for the missing food items. According to her, both Michael and James initially refused to partake in the search for the food basket before later joining the search.

Chidi ruled that their disobedience to Patience as reigning Head Warrior was tantamount to disobedience to the Council of Elders. A grave offence indeed!!

To forestall a reoccurrence of the food items being stolen, the subsequent Head Warriors was ordered to draw up a nightly roaster for warriors to keep watch over the food items.

The day’s task was the Gauntlet Challenge – a team challenge. The warriors were grouped into three teams of three members each. Each team member would fill a basket with as many palm kernels as possible, walk across a beam on an elevated platform, holding the basket with both hands and then empty the palm kernels into another basket.

As the team member walked across the beam, the members of other teams hurled heavy sacks at them. Falling off the beam or losing grip of the basket, would lead to the individual starting all over again.

Team B comprising Adah James, Nuhu Zigwayi and Uzor Osimpka emerged winners followed by Team C with Paschal Eronmose, Michael Ogbuefi and Priscillia Ezeh as members. Team A with Patience Bornford, Onyinye Udodi and Ifet Iniobong lost. Their punishment: constructing two wash areas; one for males and the other for females.
