What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

I discovered my interest at a very young age. I was always fascinated by radio and was involved in church activities, where I would present things. My fondest memory is wanting to talk like people on the radio. I would come back from school and record myself presenting a radio show on my dad’s desktop computer. Later, at the university, I started hosting radio shows on Hebron FM. It came naturally to me, and I didn’t need to think twice about it. Having a platform to showcase my talent gave me the motivation to keep doing it.

Did your parents support this career choice?

Initially, my dad wanted me to be sure of what I wanted to do. He didn’t think it was a full-time career path and suggested I do it on the side while pursuing something else. In my early stages, I was pursuing a career in medicine, but I didn’t really want to become a doctor. My dad later realised my passion and helped me get my first opportunity to work at a proper radio station. He knew the owner and reached out to him. Since then, he’s been really supportive. He would watch my shows and give me feedback.

Which is your favourite among places you have worked in?

HotFM will always be a special place to me, but my favourite place to work would be the BBC.
