Daddy Dearest
A conversation with my Nigerian Father — Episode 12
Education is very vital. It helps keep society safe and gives it a future. We must make sure our children are well educated to give us rest of mind tomorrow. Even with coming from a poor background, I decided to change the outcome of my life and that of my children by investing in my education and theirs. — Mr. Femi O. (2022)
Still in honor of Father’s Day this month, I interviewed dad (yet again). My dad is the most requested guest on the show. This is his third time on (the other two being in 2017 and 2018). Ayomide described him as “the most important father on this show,” and I couldn’t agree more.
Mr. Olufemi Obasola Ogunsaya, my dad, is loved by many, including many of our listeners, I shared with him how he is our most requested guest for his personality, humor, and insights. By the way, this was Ayomide’s first time meeting my dad despite having heard much about him for years. Dad described me (on Ayomide’s request) as peaceful, well-behaved, and mannered, and maintaining these strengths still. I couldn’t help but blush.
