The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
The foundational Managing Director of National Concord Newspapers, Chief Henry Odukomaiya, on Saturday, decried the growing insecurity in the country, saying the situation discouraged him from visiting his hometown of Ibefun, Ogun State in over a year.In an interview withat his Lagos State residence on the occasion of his 87th birthday celebration, he said, “My hometown is one hour and 15 minutes away from here, but I don’t dare. I haven’t been there in over one year because of the insecurity.
“My biggest wish is to live for another 10 years. It is for God to give me the grace to live for another 10 years in good health, which is very important. One of the reasons I badly wish that is that my youngest daughter, who is married, is pursuing a PhD in African Literature. He said, “I’ve always answered that question by saying it is a paradox. It is hardly possible for you to find any journalist practising with less than a first degree from a university. In spite of that, paradoxically, they are doing it with a lesser degree of dedication and finesse than those of my generation, only a few of whom were graduates.
