Interview
What was your first job as a journalist?
Reporting for National News Nigeria.
What does it mean to be a journalist?
To be a vessel of light, illuminating the dark world of ignorant people.
Who do you wish followed you?
Chude Jideonwo
Why did you become a journalist?
The world is hurt by ignorance. Knowledge is the only way out. I want to dispense that knowledge!
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
I wrote an article on Naira Marley and how he was supposed to use the EFCC saga in his favour. That story sent really far and I'm happy I had that down.
What advice can you offer to aspiring journalists?
Empower the people with information first. Money comes in later.
