CAN YOU TELL US YOUR BIO IN BRIEF.
My name is Mary Obadaki,born and brought up in Kano,am the only daughter and last child of a family of 5.I Have a diploma in mass communication from BUK and a graduate of Marketing from Kano State Poly.
WHAT DROVE YOU TO BECOME AN OAP?
I love talking to people and I have an inbuilt desire to care for how everybody around me feels.so I had options to pursue medicine or Journalism,so medicine didn't work out so I went for Radio.
WHAT CHALLENGES HAVE YOU HAD BEING AN OAP?
I will prefer we add " being an oap in the North" it's not regarded as a valuable profession,in Kano they feel being an oap is an hobby which is not,around here OAPs aren't stars,just the way some people don't see Reality TV as a career that's what we get here as an OAP,no special treatment,no superstar treatment. Nothing!
HOW DO YOU HANDLE/RELATE WITH YOUR FANS?
I think my fans!! Do I really have fans well i call them my Fam I.E that's Family,so I think they can attest to me being friendly and super honest. So am playfuLly blunt and i think they love it...lol.
WHATS THE CRAZIEST THING A FAN HAS DONE FOR YOU?
Crazy! No but a fan once drove into my station some years to see me and share his opinion about the topic of discussion on air,from that discussion I got a job with a bank where I did my IT,and am still grateful to God for meeting that person.
IF YOU WERE IN A POSITION TO CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT PRESENTERS/OAPS,WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I will insist on using talent/Creativity to employ and not certicate or who you know,for Radio,you must have a good radio voice to get a job on Radio,atleast a little sense of humour in presentation. A standard pay for OAPS*tongue out*
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST AND WHAT DO YOU HATE MOST ABOUT BEING AN OAP?
I love the fact you get to meet new people everytime and it's amazing knowing someone gets help from listening to or motivated to wanna keep going in Life. I don't hate anything perse but It's sad when you give in your best and over time no appreciation especially in this part of the country,this is my 12th year on radio as a presenter and a newscaster but sweetie...it stills like nobody knows me but am optimistic someday my Hardwork will pay.
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5YEARS?
I just launched my site www.talktoyasmin.com so in 5years I wanna work so hard and see the site great,i mean a place where people can get in touch and find solution to some personal or relationship trouble,wanna establish my brand not just as a radio presenter but a motivational speaker and a relationship expert.
