I don’t just pick my pen and dot lines that leads to nowhere unless I have an inkling that spurs me to write. Since my last article about a certain hashtag that was pushed then and the torrents of backslash that followed, I have resolved to be more vicious with my articles, say things the way I truly feel and not soft-pedal in a bid to be nice, because insults would still be hurled at me like pure water at the end.
If you think dynamism is not one of the pillars on which any business in the world thrives, take a stroll to our once darling Raypower FM. The radio has lost not just it’s fan base but vital staffs{96% of its OAP’S } that once put the radio station on the map. ALL Disc Jockey professionals it used to house has fizzled into thin air and it’s now a playing ground for any young man with a laptop and virtual DJ installed in his laptop to go live and just play! The station can now pass for a wildlife conservation as the thick bushes surrounding it keeps increasing everyday with a long backlog of debt owed it’s staffs. I think the radio should bury it’s face in shame and SHUTDOWN!
Don’t laugh at Raypower for they are better off than Love FM. A station that has practically turned it’s OAP’S to hawkers as they are not placed on salary but on a basis of ‘as you hustle come, we cut small give you’ mantra, the On Air Personalities of that station are left traumatized everyday. A station that can’t employ a content provider to feed it’s once teeming fans with juicy content but rather tasks it’s OAP’S to wander the streets like the young boys and girls adorned in green and yellow polo at the popular rumuokoro junction selling goko cleanser to hustle for jobs. When the head is sick, it simmers down. I think all the figure heads of that station needs to pen their resignation letter and leave. I am left awes-trucked as to how these OAP’S are able to keep faking their accents either in an empty stomach or after hawking tirelessly the whole day for a paid job that they would submit to the station.
The one station that’s still riding on the back of its sister station in Lagos is BEAT FM portharcourt. A station I held my breath for five seconds, danced for five minutes and screamed when I heard we were going to have our own BEAT FM portharcourt. These guys came with so much expectations from all the creatives in Portharcourt but grew flaccid with a short while to the dismay of all.
It would be cowardly of me not to say that we know, I know, all aproko association of Nigeria especially Portharcourt branch knows that the salaries of all OAP’S on Cool FM, Wazobia FM and Nigerian Info have had their salaries slashed but at least something is still working over their for now, so I feel they are exonerated from the axe.
Husband Material Is recluse whose pen speaks better than him.
