This was announced by the Management through their twitter handle earlier. The show has no doubt given Nigerians, both old and young platforms to be secured financially. Lot of celebrities, legends have also been on this show.
Read some tweets by the presenter, Frank Edoho and the team below
“Goodbyes are tough, aren’t they? @frankedoho ‘s final words as #WWTBAM begins a hiatus today is filled with so much emotions,” the tweet read.
“Unfortunately, tonight’s episode is our last- for now. #WWTBAM is going on a temporal break.”
“Shout out to @frankedoho for holding things down like a boss for 13 years! To say his persona added spice to #WWTBAM is an understatement
“We thank you for being with us through the 13-year-journey of enriching and impacting the lives of Nigerians.
“We wouldn’t have been able to enrich so many Nigerians without the help of our sponsor @MTNNG So we say THANK YOU!”.
Frank Edoho, the show’s host of 13 years , said MTN “pulled out” but didn’t elaborate further.
“Sadly, we are going on a break cos our sponsor pulled out. But we thank @MTNNG for being with us all these years. Please thank them for us,”
The show started airing in 2004 and has various segments including the children’s edition.
No doubt, Nigerians will be losing a lot of millions by this development due to the Magnanimity of the show sponsors which has given different people millions, ranging from the audience play, home play, the contestants, and many more.
