A Nigerian newspaper and Online version of the Vanguard, a daily publication in Nigeria covering Nigeria news, Niger delta, general national news, politics, business, energy, sports, entertainment, fashion,lifestyle human interest stories, etc
My ties with Vanguard, something I cherish so much, is not known to many. This story must be told today for the Canal remains a place of pride where I noticed one love before veering into journalism in 1988 through Ely Obasi, of blessed memory.
Ely and I were so close that people thought I was his younger brother. When he moved to Quality Magazine, he wanted me to come along. There was a mix up. We had another Emeka Obasi, who having finished National Service at the mother newspaper, NewsWatch, was retained and moved to the new publication.
And Nwachukwu asked me not to leave the Foreign Desk. He saw it coming. Before the end of the year, I was out of the Foreign Desk. I had missed a trip with him to Zambia. Later, we were supposed to be in Cameroon, I told his Media Aide, Mr. J. Awe, that I had left the Foreign Desk. I handed over the slot to my successor.
I read all that Saturday Vanguard Editor, Onochie ‘ Onyegwu’ Anibeze wrote about Uncle Sam. I hereby confirm that there was no glitch in that tribute. Uncle Uncle Sam did not buy Onochie’s vote with money. The writer voted his conscience.
