Nigeria’s urban-pidgin radio station, Yanga FM, has made history by becoming the first radio station in the country to reward a loyal listener with a N1 million cash prize.
The landmark event came through the Yanga FM One Million Giveaway Campaign — a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to celebrate audience loyalty and deepen listener engagement.
The lucky winner, Emedoh Okwunna Alloysius, emerged after correctly answering questions about Yanga FM’s programmes. His victory was announced live on ‘The Wetin Dey Show.’

Expressing excitement and gratitude, Alloysius said he was overwhelmed by the win and intends to invest the prize money in a business venture, though he has yet to decide on the specific area.
The event also marked another milestone for Yanga FM, as it was the first time since the station began broadcasting in March that listener phone calls were taken live on air — an interactive moment that amplified the excitement of the historic giveaway.
