Caleb Otagbe, 28, Wins “Suya” Eating Contest In Lagos

Caleb Otagba, 28, on Sunday in Lagos received N250,000 cash prize for winning the maiden ‘Suya’ eating competition in Nigeria.

Suya is roasted meat. It is a very popular delicacy in all parts of Nigeria.

The competition was organised by Sooya Bristo, a one-stop Suya culinary restaurant, in partnership with Lost In Lagos, one of the leading premier discovery platforms.

The competition was organised to mark the opening of the Lekki branch of Sooyah Bristo in Lagos.

Over 30 contestants competed in various stages of the competition.

An excited Otagba, a staff of PCV Cleaning Service in Lagos, expressed excitement over the feat and thanked God, the organisers, his family and supporters for the opportunity to win and make money.

He said that suya was not his most favourite dish but added that he enjoyed food, grilled and other creative spiced suya.

“This is my second win for the year as I have earlier emerged winner of the Burgar contest organised by Lost In Lagos.

“I am so grateful to God and hopeful of more wins before the end of the year.

“I love anything food and have discovered that my strength operates optimally during any contest.

“I appreciate Sooyah Bristo for organising this competition and thank my family and supporters for their encouragement,” he said.

Mrs Olamidun Ogundoyin, Founder, Sooyah Bristo, said the competition was organised to bring joy to people, especially the youths.
