Beauty entrepreneur and founder of Myria Gee Global Enterprise Ltd, Pearl Ubani, has emerged the winner of the tenth edition of The Next Titan Nigeria, securing the grand prize of N40 million at the show’s finale held in Lagos.
Ubani outshone other finalists after 10 weeks of rigorous business challenges, boardroom sessions, and eliminations. According to a statement, her leadership qualities and innovative approach toward building a sustainable Nigerian beauty economy earned her the judges’ final endorsement.
Speaking after her victory, Ubani described the win as a symbolic achievement for young entrepreneurs. “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 said.
She added that the experience transformed her approach to business. “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 revealed that the N40 million prize would be used to expand Myria Gee, her cosmetics manufacturing brand that focuses 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, attracted thousands of entries nationwide. Regional auditions were held in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Lagos, and online.
Akinlaja noted that the top 20 contestants lived together in the Titan House for 10 weeks, where they carried out business tasks and faced weekly evictions. He commended the judges—Kyari Bukar, Chris Parkes, Tonye Cole, and Lilian Olubi—for their mentorship and for shaping the contestants’ business outlook.
The milestone season was supported by title sponsor Betano and platinum sponsor First City Monument Bank, 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 sponsorship as a commitment to promoting 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 infused the season with “new energy, creativity, and opportunities,” enabling the show to celebrate a decade of discovering and empowering young Nigerian entrepreneurs.
