Last week, I published on this page, excerpts of an interview
that Omotola Jalade Ekeinde granted my New York-based newspaper, The
Diasporan Star, in December 2009, and also on my blog. The interview,
though done some years ago, was still relevant. (the kind of interviews
that have no time-limit or currency). The story has become a hit on
social media and some other newspapers here. The popular blogger,
BellaNaija, culled the story, and a day after, Omotola, through the same
BellaNaija, denied ever granting the interview to Sunday Vanguard.
She, however, did not deny that the said interview did take place and that some other excerpts of the same interview were published in The Diaspora Star, which she had read when it was first published.
Since her denial, there has been a feeding frenzy on the social media, with some misguided fellows thinking that the interview did not take place and I am offended by this. The notion that I, Ekerete Udoh, one of the pioneers of this genre of journalism in Nigeria, a man who God has used to promote and project Nigerian pop culture and its practitioners both in Nigeria and in the Diaspora, would publish an interview that was not properly conducted is, to say the least, stupid, puerile and utterly objectionable and I AM MAD AS HELL!
Let me, for the records, state that the said interview took place in Omotola’s HOLIDAY INN, hotel room in Yonkers, New York. Since 2008, I have been the publisher of The Diasporan Star newspaper, easily and without sounding immodest, the most popular newspaper that projects and promotes Nigerian, nay African, pop culture, politics and our way of life in the United States. The newspaper, to the glory of God, has grown in stature and reviewed by such newspapers as The New York Daily News, Post, among others.
