Former Beat 99.9FM On-Air-Personality, Fade Ogunro who left the
radio station late last year was
recently accosted at an event by a Ynaija reporter where she spoke on why she
left radio, what made her an OAP in the first place and how she has teamed up
with her famous senior brother Sesan Ogunro, to run their film production
company called Film Factory.
On why she became an OAP, Fade said;
“The whole point of radio was to get to meet a lot of
artistes. The reason behind that was because I owned a TV production company
called Film Factory because when I moved to Nigeria, I didn’t know any artiste.
So working on radio -Saturday and Sunday was a great way for me to meet the
artiste so that I could shoot a lot of their videos.” Continue...
On her new project;
“People know my brother Sesan the director and together we
run the company. He is the director and I’m the executive producer. Over the
last 4 years that the company has been running, we are constantly getting
busier.”
“So leaving radio was simply because I have tried to manage
my time over the last 5 years but it comes to a time where you are like – you
know what, I can’t marry two husbands. I love the both of you but I have to
pick one and I think my company fulfills me more.”
“We have gone from a staff of 3 to 30 in the last 3 years
and the impact in terms of all the TV commercial and music videos I have shot.
I feel like I’m impacting the African media a lot more which was my ultimate
goal.”
“Even though radio gives me a certain fulfillment because I get millions of people around the world to listen to the show, I’m also with my company and on the other hand I train people like cameraman, sound guys, gaffers, lighting guys and editors.”
