We heard you are the Acting Assistant General
Secretary for TAMPPAN (USA) tell us about this position
Laughs, well yes, I am the acting Assistant General Secretary for TAMPAN
(USA), well the position isn’t competed for, I guess I was recommended by the
General Secretary, Bukola Amos Bello (Arewa) and some other members. I just had
a baby and I really do not want anything to come in between my new born and
myself. But after some pleading, I took the post and I honestly can’t wait for
the election to come up so that I can face my personal businesses.
You say personal businesses, can you shed light on
this
Yes, I am an entrepreneur as you all know and I am still the Deputy
State Director (DSD) for Nigeria Association of Women Entrepreneur, Lagos State
Chapter under the supervision of the State Director, Mrs. Margaret Oluwole.
Having my own business is my dream and I am thanking God for making it a
success now, the issue of child bearing really pulled me back from doing
businesses and making money as I love to, but now that the Lord has finally
blessed me, I have decided to get back into the showbiz.
Do you mean you are now back into acting
When I say show biz, I really don’t mean acting, the business is so
broad that one can pick and choose from; well I am into partnership with some
group of people to set up a Media Outfit called; THE CROSS MEDIA & TRAVELS.
What about your Spiritual Show “Imoran”
You actually beat me to that ‘Imoran’ is a household name and now, it is
no longer just a show, it’s a radio station here in the United States of
America. Actually, THE CROSS MEDIA AND TRAVELS is the parent company of IMORAN
RADIO, THE CROSS TV, TRAVELS AND TOURISM and DISTINCT MAGAZINE.
...This sounds like a big project
To be honest with you, it’s a very big project, but I keep reminding
myself of my boss; Kemi Otegbade and her words that, “If your dreams don’t
scare you, they are not big enough.’ I dream big and it does scare me like ‘oh
my gush,’ but guess what, I don’t give up on my dreams hence I ask for
supporting hands and I am in partnership with two other people, who share the
same dream with me.
IMORAN RADIO is a radio station for the people, where several programs
will be aired in different languages including Spanish programs and many more.
On the Cross Television, the television aspect of the business will
concentrate on shows such as Talk shows, event coverage, religious shows, soaps,
English, Yoruba, Spanish, social and political shows just to mention a few.
We also have Distinct Magazine, which is a quarterly publication
covering African parties and events; the happenings within the community,
photos and video coverage and if paid for, it will aired on our television station.
Can we know those you want to partner with
Well, we have nothing to hide, I am into partnership with an ex-US Naval
Officer, who is now a Prophet of God ‘Anthony Samaye’ and an IT Engineer’
Omotayo Agbaminoja’. The two people I mentioned share my kind of dream and love
for the show biz, so we came together to build a great foundation in Atlanta
Georgia USA.
Do you have any message for your fans
I am so grateful to them for believing in me. All I want are your
prayers and moral support for what we do.
