WATCHING NEWS , READING NEWSPAPER HELPED ME DEVELOPED INTEREST IN POLITICS & WRITING.
I grow up watching NTA News by 9pm , no matter how important the film is , it won't be more important to getting to know what is happening in our dear Nation.
If watching NTA News is patriotism, I am sure my dad would have be home to different National Awards having encourage the Always watching of News by 9pm.
Due to advent of AIT , Channels, TVC , we are all left with no choice than to expand our News watching session to a minimum of 2hours per day, from 8pm to 9pm (AIT , Channels) , 9pm to 10pm ( NTA NEWS ) this period nobody will afford to toy with the period.
As usual he usually travel every Monday and return every Friday , in absential we ALWAYS Maintain that Loyalty of watching News from 8pm to 9pm , 9pm to 10pm , this I always wonder how all the camera men will focus on one person They have painted Failure that's Umaru Musa Yaradua then.
On a Faithful I decided to put on the courage to be different and atleast be a Successful Politician since I will still get the usual attention of Camera men facing me and asking me questions just like the failure they have earlier posited that Umaru Musa Yaradua was which he wasn't according to my valuation.
If I had a Voters card in 2007 I will vote for Umaru Musa Yaradua 20 times as the Election then was characterized with manipulations , on a platter Muhammadu Buhari can't beat Umaru Musa Yaradua even then, Discussion for Another Day.
Been away for 5 days my dad will gather the week newspaper which he have bought for my reading and interaction sessions, he enjoyed reading DAILY SUN , THE NATION , atimes Vanguard or This Day.
If holiday falls within work weeks he usually stay at home , to keep himself busy I will have to take bus of About 4km to buy newspaper for him, don't buy Daily Trust , buy Daily Sun or The Nation , they have more NATIONAL Converge than Daily Trust , Daily Trust reports activities of Northern Nigeria more than National Affairs.
If I was unable to get Daily Sun , The Nation, then I have to put a call over to ask Which One Vanguard or Thisday , he usually buy Vanguard than THISDAY though.
It was in his weekend newspaper Special that I fell in love with Writing , my Mentor then was Mr. Seni Adebutu ( Leadership Spark Lab ) and Mrs. Funke Egbemode all of the Sunday Trust of Sun News.
Mrs. Funke Egbemode writing is what I have always make sure I don't miss even when I am away I always check Sun news online to read her weekly Column for 3years or more I don't miss her Column before she moved her Column to New Telegraph , Mrs. Funke is now the Commissioner of Information and Strategy in the State of Osun.
Coming across Politicians on News and Newspapers I have developed love for the Public Service with immediate effect, this is one of the Decision I always Never regret , at least I am living a Fufilled Live.
