This memoir is the author’s most ambitious writing project yet. It's a hard and frank recollection of the unforgettable ups and downs of birthing, sustaining and losing Nigeria's No. 1 Celebrity Journal (1991 and 1997) - FAME Weekly (magazine) - an exercise that has taken more than two decades of preparation and prevarication. In this book, he has traced his movements all the way from The Punch newspapers - highlighting a few significant events: the making of the popular tags - 'Elegant Stallion' and 'RMD', and my first almost catastrophic encounter with Shina Peters. Then, on to his short tour at Climax magazine...and to FAME: from the dream stage, to the upheavals that would later define the experiences of three young, bright Nigerian journalists and entrepreneurs, locked in a colourful and turbulent partnership. Many of the unspoken FAME stories are told in as candid, deliberate, and as honest as one can possibly be while sidestepping needless emotionalism or sensationalism. Hopefully, the readers, and lovers of FAME, of truth and historical milestones, would find in these texts and photos a compendium of enlightening facts, figures and failings that can translate into useful lessons for everybody on how to run a successful business or partnership.
