Usually, I do not write commendation for places nor praise brands, I am always skeptical of innovations that seem to have a touch of a political personality as the initiator but this time something made me take a stroll to Oodua FM, no gainsaying that I went there with a little of skepticism and unusual expectation .
I was not disappointed on getting there, the atmosphere was just different and it was not long before I found myself smiling around the vicinity which is unusual of me especially getting somewhere for the first time.
It was not too long before I got my head turned over by the vision for the station and the dream, I must say that having a world class station in Ile-Ife wouldn't have been expected so soon but there is nothing as inspiring as a massive investment in the cradle of Yoruba land.
The commissioning will take place soon and in my few years in Journalism having sojourned round all places possible in Journalism as a young personality, l can humbly say that Oodua FM succeeded in making me go outside the box of my calmness to curiosity, made me stop the button of controlled commendation to making me feel like I am a whole part of the vision, the state of art equipment and the projection is something that all and sundry should take note of.
While as a Journalist I look forward to Oodua FM living up to its potential, l want to say in the dream of making Ile-Ife a tourist centre, Oodua FM stands out, just like Splash FM did in Ibadan.
I am not so concerned about politics around the founder personality in person of Honorable Rotimi Makinde, but l am more concerned about the possibility the station brings.
While I would press the button of controlled feelings right here, I wish the owner of Oodua FM a fulfilling commissioning of Oodua FM and another fulfillment of the reasons for the station.
