Many of you will remember Sulaiman Aledeh from your TV screens, but did you know that before Channels and Arise News, he began his career at Edo Broadcasting Service (EBS)? It all started with his love for listening to people speak. He listened to the radio quite often and told his elder brother that he could do better than the radio presenters. His brother then drove him to Edo Broadcasting Service and told them what he said. He auditioned for a radio slot and got the job. He was on the radio for two weeks, then television came calling: the Controller Presentation took him to her husband —still at EBS — to start a new program. But his big break came after he launched The Weekend Rendezvous in the mid-90s. After that, he went on to launch another program: The Entertainment News, where he started the Billboard Top 20 Countdown. Another show he created and is still running to date is The Breakfast Show. Aledeh spent the early years of his career at Edo Broadcasting Service and has now returned as Managing Director.

Read Sulaiman Aledeh’s story on pages 8 to 10 of this issue.

We are all part of each other’s story: that person you walk or drive past on the street, that person you kindly hold the door open for or hold the lift for, all make up part of your story on earth, even though you didn’t officially meet them, you met them along the way. That’s what luxury silk is about this week. I urge you to read it on page 11.

One of the films we review on page 16, our movie review page, is The Running Man, a remake of the 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The review score is not bad, so I’ll definitely be seeing this one. Will you?

Until next week, enjoy your read.
