Elarh, Nwachuku chika, A.K.A corporate-Street-Boy... Came into unizik OCT 2010, By 2012 I was a freelancer, no much school, just doing a lot of meetings, SUG politics, media and events.....
The Giant Newspaper By agu David the then PRO which started early 2012 had me as founding members (I had shown Agu David a 2 sheets of a centre page of a long note illustration, the pattern for a newspaper I wanted to start "campus jet" he saw the framework and said it was nice but immediately said he had an official approval from the VC to be the only one to own a newspaper within the school, that my "campus jet" idea is illegal since only he had the right. ) Long story cut short, now you know why I started the newspaper with Agu David.
If I had 12 gists within town , in form of news, I gave 7 to Agu and 5 to a man called Kachukwu Kachukwu. He was the PRO before Agu.
I think kachukwu had a team running his magazine called "campus amebo" a one centre sheet digitally printed and designed leaflet. It was a good one, The Giant newspaper and campus amebo could indeed exist. Agu somehow played me. Wow!
But anyways. Giant newspaper sold for 50 Naira. Campus amebo sold for 20 Naira. I was a strong member of the Giant, the advert manager, I think we were all sales men too. I made money from the Giant Newspaper but kachukwu always lobbied me for news. I was friends to anyone. I liked to help. I always gave some news to campus amebo regardless of being a correspondent for the giant newspaper.
Late 2012, Agu David wanted to be the next SUG president he used the Giant Newspaper to try and query the then VC. Prof egboka.
The school security one day confiscated prints of the Giant newspaper, questioned and handled Agu David in ways that gradually made anything about the Giant Newspaper look like a taboo. " The Newspaper was silenced for the time"
Its members were enemies of the VC. I hid. We all went on a low. This gave me reasons to give more time to campus amebo. I didn't pay the usual 5000 Naira to become a member like the great minds like zikora udeze
I had become a member of campus amebo, I came for editorial meetings, made impact on the radio program as a presenter and before you knew it I was manager. I managed amebo from 2 leaf magazine to a 21 page magazine
Prices were 20 then 30 to 50 before now, 100 naira.
A lot has happened since I worked for amebo, I went into the field of media , publicity and consultancy and I learned a lot.
Here I say thank you to one man
Kachikwu Kachikwu, you blessed my life and I know you have blessed other lives too.
Thank you so much.
I have grown skills , made contacts, become experience and made money since I started working for campus amebo.
Shout out to this brand.
Rap city in 2012 was a hit
