On-Air-Personality, Ochuko Derek Omiragwa popularly known as Chief Ochuko, has stated that his career trajectory was not accidental but inspired by passion.
“Music inspired me. I’ve always been an MC right from my elementary school days, expressing myself via debate and rap music. So, radio and TV presenting became a continuation of my youthful passion. And coming from a background where the voice of the voiceless is scarcely heard, I saw it as a passion to be the voice of the common man,” he told Saturday Sun.
The multi-talented broadcaster, who is currently an anchor on Wazobiamax, recalled how it all began, “My first time on air was with the late broadcast veteran, Steve Kadiri of Raypower FM in Port Harcourt in 2002. I was an undergraduate but my activity as a campus show promoter earned me an appearance on his show.
“The experience on air with Steve Kadiri was what fuelled my passion for journalism and the drive behind my becoming an OAP.”
