Adedoyin Ayomide Samuel, popularly referred to as Ayrubber, an On-Air-Personality of high repute, has revealed why he chose the noble profession of journalism.
According to him, ” I attended First Foundation Nursery and Primary School, Ishaga, Lagos State, for his first school leaving certificate, and afterwards, proceeded to Agbado District Comprehensive High School, Agbado, Oke Aro, Ogun State, for his West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). He trained as a journalist at the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ), Ogba, Lagos.
“I have given in to a lot of risks, but a notable one was back then on Lagos Traffic Radio when I was an Intern. My shift with the other Interns was meant to end by 5 pm and the next one was by 6pm to 9 pm.
“My other colleagues have gone home, but because I wanted to learn more, I had to stay back with the presenter on duty to see how he did his thing. I did this so many times and it helped me. That was one of my biggest risks among sleepless nights in school.
“My major discipline is journalism, especially radio and TV. I have actually worked with KADUTO. This is an international TV station that reports African entertainment and lifestyle news. I have also worked with NIGEZIE TV for a few voices over works, so also was Lagos Africa radio 96.1 FM.
“I must confess, news reporting has always been a fun experience, especially when you see yourself as someone people come to for information, trends and what is actually happening in the industry. It’s just really an amazing opportunity to be in the journalism place because I have actually learnt a lot, met a lot of people and connected to a whole lot of people in high and low places”, Ayrubber added.
