concerning Nigeria and the world at large.
Ifeoluwapo Adeniyi said ‘’I started my analysis on Splash FM with the
issue of Boko Haram and my second edition analysis was on National youth service
corps and I spoke against the program and was lambasted on social media for my
opinion on Nysc program and I said I will not do analysis on voices anymore but Edmond
Obilo encouraged me not be dissuaded by those comments''.
''Many Month and years after I get used to analysis bothering
the state of the Nation''. She was asked that, what will happen to leading woman?
She answered ‘’Broadcasting craft continue someone else will replace me’’. Where
are you going? ‘’Am going to pursue my
dreams, sometimes in life we will not find rest not until we pursue our dreams’’
She said, It has been an honor been with Edmond Obilo, ‘’I have picked a lot of
things from Edmond instinct and characteristics’’.

Splash fm called him that have u watch Fareed Zakaria on CNN and Edmond Obilo

like. Edmond said ‘’I started watching, studying and reading Zakaria’s books’’
‘’Studying the likes of Christopher Wallace and works of great broadcaster
round the world’’ ‘’ For me to be like Fareed Zakaria I must be a scholar

reporting, I must be able to analyze news, forming perspective and make
projection’’
