How we started

It was a restless night!!!

My mind, heart, and soul kept nagging at me that day that I needed to start doing something, and I was unable to fall asleep.

I have always wanted to be an on air presenter and that night I really thought I should at least start somewhere.

The Initial ideas that came to mind included:

After all, the Asuu strike was going on that year, and I didn't know when we would resume. Perhaps you should start working as an intern at a radio station.

Next, was a discouraging one ,I considered:

Because there are no facilities to assist, dream as though you can achieve it.

These thoughts kept me up all night, I was simply tossing around my bed.

When it was morning, I still couldn’t sleep. I continued to think, "So what if I can't get to intern at a radio station since I don't know where to go? 

In addition, I believed I needed a portfolio—or at least something that would demonstrate my suitability for the internship.

Then, a ray of hope came. A buddy of mine who is a podcaster posted his content and I thought let me ask him. I might as well start out as a podcaster and build a portfolio.

Although I was still unsure of it, I questioned him about it nevertheless, and he provided me with a thorough breakdown of how to use the Anchor app.

You know, I still didn't create any episodes after this. 

Your phone isn't an iPhone and won't produce top-notch quality! 

Who would listen to you? continued my doubtful thoughts and you can't do it.

I thus discussed it with my brother who is always a good source of support, and he advised me to start with my phone and told me not to worry about who would listen. He assured me to rely on my friends on Whatsapp and other social platforms as that is where their usefulness will come in. 

I didn't begin with my phone, though; instead, I spoke with a friend of mine  who already works as a presenter at a radio station; amazingly, he was prepared to arrange studio segments for me and was willing to be a co-host.

Voilà, dream come true, the first episode occurred a few weeks after Valentine's Day in 2021 we titled it " Valentine's day post traumatic Disorders ". 

The listening was a little higher than I had anticipated, and today we still have a long way to go, but at least we've started and have listeners in over 17 countries.

The Blog

You know, I didn't think I could start a blog; if someone had offered to pay me to write, I would have flatly refused.

But one morning I awoke wondering how we could modify Skinnies just a little bit, and that's when the thought of writing struck me.

Before I eventually gave in to the voice that was trying to get the writer out of me and decided to try the blog, the voices in my head had been arguing for a very long time.

I am such a bad writer, or perhaps I thought of myself as one, but thank God for excellent pals if not, I couldn't have started out a blog. I

I can't recall ever having to do a task without a friend lending support, which is why I often say, "Thank God for the gift of men."

Initially, it was a friend then, 2 other friends agreed to lend a helping hand and there were four of us, we suddenly had a blog set up using the Google host Blogger, where we ran three segments. 

The Monvit

The purpose of this segment was to provide people with Monday morning motivating writings, hence the term MONVIT, which is short for Monday motivation. We occasionally think that folks need a little prodding, cheerleading, and guidance, so we stuffed our Mondays full of useful vitamins just for that.

The Werite

We planned this for wednesdays. There are many lifestyle difficulties, so, we devoted our writings to writing about these difficulties and proffering solutions which is why we named it WERITE, which actually means we write.

The Satread

This segment was scheduled for Saturdays to give story contents to keep our readers entertained and refreshed. This segment was our pioneer segment and that first content is still doing amazingly high in numbers.

So far, since the blog started we have had about 55+ content on our websites with about 2000+ visits, and we are still uploading content.

We also advertise products and services on our segments thereby helping our fans in showcasing their products and services for free.

PS:I now think blogging is what I can do, I just required a bit of a motivation to set me on track, I still have a bit of writer's block now and then but since I wrote a content on the blog, and it turned out exceptional to the readers I knew I just had to put in more work as we are not leaving here we are only working to get better.
