We learned you worked with CNN. Please tell us about it.

I anchored World News at CNN as well as Biz News, sometimes by myself, other times I co-anchored with Fionnulla Sweeney, Becky Anderson, Richard Quest and Hala Gorani. I left CNN a few years ago and set up my company, Spirit Creations, which as I mentioned earlier, is a multimedia company based in London.

I currently produce and direct television features, documentaries and commercials for various TV stations and companies around the world, please visit www.spiritcreations.co.uk. I also do radio/TV reporting for CBC Canada, CBS news in America, RTE Ireland, France 24 in Paris and Global Radio/TV News, based in London and a few others.

What was the most rewarding part of working with the CNN?

Well obviously reaching the top of my career and presenting the news to more than a billion people around the globe, as well as meeting and interviewing some of the most interesting, famous and controversial people in the world. But it wasn’t just at CNN. As a BBC trained broadcast journalist, I worked for 7 years with BBC World Service Radio and BBC World Television as a reporter, producer and news presenter. I later worked as a television reporter with ITN, a news producer with Sky News before becoming a news anchor on CNN International.

Nollywoodgossip wishes you the best.

Thanks Nollywoodgossip.
