The Wale Olomu Memorial Awards people are running their roundtable discussion segment ahead of the actual ceremony later this month, and they pulled together panel members from across Nigerian entertainment. Wunmi Obe from Punch Nigeria, former Saturday Independent editor Olumide Iyanda, cultural writer Jide Taiwo, talking drummer Aralola Olamuyiwa, broadcaster Jimi Akinniyi, and UK-based singer Deborah Lawal will dissect how entertainment journalism shaped the creative economy.
TopRadio will stream the conversation live while organizers prep for the awards event, recognizing three lifetime achievement winners plus at least five special recognition recipients. Steering committee head Tokunbo Ojekunle said the seven-person crew is grinding to make this edition reflect what late journalist Adewale Olomu built through his pioneering coverage work.
They are holding back the full special recognition list until right before the ceremony drops.
