Beauty entrepreneur and founder of Myria Gee Global Enterprise Ltd, Pearl Ubani, has won the tenth edition of The Next Titan Nigeria, taking home a grand prize of N40m at the show’s finale held in Lagos.
Ubani triumphed over other finalists after 10 weeks of business challenges and boardroom eliminations.
According to a statement, her leadership and innovative approach to building a sustainable Nigerian beauty economy earned her the judges’ final nod.
Speaking after her victory, Ubani said, “Winning The Next Titan Nigeria is not just a personal triumph; it’s a validation of every young Nigerian who dares to dream, create, and build something meaningful from scratch.”
She added, “This win is a huge responsibility. The Next Titan changed me in ways I didn’t expect. It tested my patience, confidence, and belief in what I could achieve.”
Ubani stated that she would use the funds to expand Myria Gee, her cosmetics manufacturing brand focused on locally made beauty products, formulation training, and brand development for emerging entrepreneurs.
Executive Producer of The Next Titan Nigeria, Mide Akinlaja, said the 10th anniversary edition, themed ‘Be Unconventional’, received thousands of entries across the country and featured regional auditions in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Lagos, and online.
Akinlaja stated, “The show was designed as a deliberate attempt to provoke the spirit of entrepreneurship among young Nigerians, not just contestants but aspiring entrepreneurs watching from home.”
Akinlaja noted that the top 20 contestants lived together in the Titan House for 10 weeks, executing business tasks and competing before weekly evictions. He commended the judges, Kyari Bukar, Chris Parkes, Tonye Cole, and Lilian Olubi, for their mentorship and contribution to shaping the contestants.
The title sponsor, Betano, and platinum sponsor, First City Monument Bank, supported the 10th season alongside other partners, including SIFAX Group, Arik Air, Lifemate Furniture, Nikky Taurus, and NITDA.
Betano’s Senior Business Development Advisor for Africa, Daniel Lamberti, described the partnership as a commitment to empowering innovation. “We believe in innovation, perseverance, and passion, the same values that drive The Next Titan and its contestants,” he said.
Akinlaja added that the collaboration with Betano “brought new energy, creativity, and opportunities to the show, helping us celebrate a decade of discovering and empowering some of Nigeria’s brightest entrepreneurs.”
