Journalists and broadcasters, educators and administrators, publishers and entrepreneurs, it is the birth month of at least thirteen Nigerians who have contributed their fair share to the development of the Nigerian media. The media, led by everyone’s uncle, Sam Amuka, accompanied by the publishers of The Guardian, Thisday, PremiumTimes, and The Nation, were present. Obaigbena ferried his clan from Owa, Delta State and friends from the media and corporate Nigeria to church to mark his entry into the world of sexagenarians. Professor Olatunji Dare, respected scholar, veteran columnist and DAME laureate and Kabir Garga Alabi, deputy editor of The Guardian share the 17th. If anyone knows of any month with a richer gathering of Media sons and daughters, we will be glad to know of it.
