It was more of fun. I was just looking for something to make me play. It was more like a distraction. I usually play tennis, so I wanted another distraction like my wife who is engaged in her own business to enable her play her role as a mother and wife.
Since I wanted to be an actor, I saw this as something related to entertainment. So, I jumped into it and the whole story began from there. Let me tell you what I know about our country Nigeria. In the late 70s, 80s and mids, Nigeria was a captive society. Captive in the sense, I want to go and see my friend, Femi in Surulere.
Can I stay there till 12 midnight and come back and be in my mind safe? The road might be safe but in my mind, I was a captive. The environment made our mind to be captive. Some people were going out no doubt, but it reduced our movement.
The maximum you do, you are invited somewhere in Ikoyi or your neighbourhood, you quickly go and come back. Another problem is our extra-curricular activity of carrying files. I have to take these files home to treat them he points at files on his table.
I do my review of architectural drawings and this is the only time I have. Yes, I go out from time to time, maybe once every two months. Even within this district street , I find it difficult to leave because I have a baby here which is my work. Not that I am a workaholic, but I need to give something to the people and face my major work. In reality, I am still the design man. I am not the MD because Evita his daughter is running the business. I am a quality control guy.
I am the creator of some shows here and there. And I do air check too. Of course, I go to the gym but I play my tennis rather than sitting and drinking here and there. I have many friends. That is why here is home. All the people I work with have developed a relationship with me even after their retirement.
So, when they come to my house, it is open. Which other radio station are you afraid of in the broadcast industry and how would you assess broadcasting in Nigeria? Frankly speaking, we trained a lot of people. Now, how do I assess the broadcast industry? They need their benefits. Luckily, some of them are here with us. All our technicians, from studio engineers to transmitter engineers are from the Civil service. We send them abroad for training.
One just came back from Italy for training. This man has never travelled in his life. Your email address will not be published. Website URL. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

What was your impression when you visited Nigeria in ? You have obviously sunk so much money into this business… My principle is that you are not taking anything with you when you go to the other world.
How would you describe your staff? We envy the way you relate with all of them? So, what does it really take to work here?
