The program, which is scheduled to premiere on October 7 across the nation, promises to be hilarious and welcoming entertainment because it features a wide variety of Nigerian families competing for cash and other prizes.
In each episode, two “families” of five will compete against one another to predict the most common answers to a set of survey questions with a distinctively Nigerian twist that were asked of 100 participants.
During the unveiling on Wednesday at the company’s head office, in Lagos, the Ag. Chief Digital Officer, MTN Nigeria, Aisha Umar-Mumuni, said, “One of the things that keep families together is shared activity, and whether it is competing on ‘Family Feud’ or watching weekly episodes, the show will give people another avenue to bond.
“It will be informative, provide comic relief and showcase the personalities of different families across generations. It will be exciting to watch.”
Femi Ayeni, Chief Executive Officer, Ultima Studios said, “Family Feud is a relaxing game show with a healthy dose of humour and laughter, which is sure to refresh and reconnect families and friends while also rewarding them as they play and win cash, and other prizes.

“The show is made even more interesting because the five participants in each family can be made up of nuclear family members, friends from work, neighbors, old boys or old girls from schools, and almost any relationship which binds us together in a community.
“The families will be able to play to win up to N5 million and ensure that every family member becomes a millionaire courtesy of our lead sponsors – MTN.”
Expressing her excitement as the show host, Bisola Aiyeola, said “I am thrilled to be hosting ‘Family Feud.’ It’s a show I have come to love, and I look forward to sharing the experience with families across Nigeria.
“The questions are hilarious and when you mix that with our unique Nigerian humour, expect non-stop laughter.
“It’s more than just asking questions. Part of the fun is revealing their unique personalities to further engage with the families.”
Subscribers may get ready for Family Feud Nigeria now and enter to win money daily in a humorous trivia challenge before the show’s October premiere.
Beginning on August 24, MTN subscribers can participate by texting DFF or WFF to 205 with their responses to the Family Feud survey questions for a chance to win money every workday, from Monday through Friday.
Each month, N10,000 will be given to the top 200 subscribers with the most points.

Model Olajumoke Orisaguna, popularly known as Olajumoke Onibread, has opened up about her traumatic experiences in her marriage, accusing her ex-husband, Sunday Orisaguna, of domestic violence and ruining her career.
In an interview with City FM, Olajumoke shared harrowing details of her past, highlighting the abuse she endured during her time in her ex-husband’s family home in Ire, Osun State.
“We stayed in my husband’s family house at Ire in Osun State, and there is no way you stay in such a place that you would not encounter problems,” she recounted.
Olajumoke revealed that her mother-in-law’s hostility exacerbated the situation, as her ex-husband often sided with his mother without hearing her perspective.
“He would not hear my own side of the story before beating me. Whenever I had a misunderstanding with his mother, he would beat me to the extent that my face and body would be swollen. Sometimes he would even use a belt,” she said.

She further explained how she kept the abuse hidden to avoid upsetting her mother, who also lived nearby. Despite the hardships, Olajumoke continued to support the family financially, as her husband was unemployed.
Reflecting on a pivotal moment in January 2016, Olajumoke described the day she decided to leave:
“We were frying akara for his dad’s remembrance when I had an issue with his elder sister. As usual, he beat me up, and I decided that I was going to leave, move to Lagos, and start working at the bakery because I had been there before.”
Three days later, she relocated to Lagos with her two children. According to Olajumoke, the separation led to further challenges as her ex-husband began tarnishing her reputation, contributing to her career’s decline.
“Everything started going down the drain after separation because he started spoiling my name. Since then, things started going down,” she lamented.
Olajumoke, who rose to fame in 2016 after a chance encounter during a photoshoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah and photographer TY Bello, is now using her platform to shed light on the struggles she endured.
The model’s story has reignited conversations about domestic abuse and the societal pressures faced by women in similar situations.
