With four winners already, a 500,000 naira jackpot, and a host who brings genuine star quality to every episode, Quick Kash is making a compelling case for Nigerian-made game show television.
Nigerian television has produced game shows before. But Quick Kash, TVC Entertainment’s newest addition to its weekday programming lineup, feels distinctly different and not just because of the prize money.
Airing every Monday and Friday from 1:30 pm to 2 pm, Quick Kash puts three contestants through a gauntlet of three increasingly high-stakes rounds. The Lucky Numbers round tests instinct. The Mystery Category round, spanning General Knowledge, Entertainment and Fun, and Brain Teasers, tests breadth of knowledge and speed. And the Jackpot Round, the climax of every episode, reduces everything to a single question worth 500,000 naira.
Since its launch, the show has crowned four winners, including a jackpot winner on its very first episode. That debut moment, a contestant pressing the buzzer, getting the question right, and walking away with half a million naira, established Quick Kash as appointment television from day one.

Central to the show’s appeal is its host, Edgar Eriakha. A University of Lagos Theatre Arts graduate, Eriakha brings to Quick Kash a career that spans morning television. He is also a presenter on Wake Up Nigeria and the host of the podcast “Why am I Still Single?” With his amazing baritone and hilarious persona, Edgar brings drama and fun to the already exciting game show. His ability to calibrate the energy of a live studio, build tension in the Jackpot Round, celebrate winners, and keep contestants at ease reflects a level of broadcast experience that elevates the entire production.
For TVC Entertainment, Quick Kash represents a strategic bet on the enduring appeal of live, personality-driven formats. In a media landscape increasingly dominated by streaming and on-demand content, the show is a reminder that nothing quite matches the electricity of live television, especially when 500,000 naira is on the line.
Quick Kash airs on TVC Entertainment every Monday and Friday at 1:30 pm.
