…Says Nigerian Media Industry Has Lost A Colossus

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has described the death of ace journalist and former editor of the Sunday Times, Mr. Gbolabo Ogunsanwo as a colossal loss to the media industry and the country as a whole.

In a condolence message signed on his behalf by his Chief Press Secretary Mr. Gboyega Akosile, on Sunday, Sanwo-Olu said the death of the ace columnist, whose weekly articles and editorial contents helped to shape the country’s social and political narratives is painful and heartbreaking.

Ogunsanwo, a respected and well celebrated columnist and former acting Editor of Daily Times, died on Friday.

Sanwo-Olu urged family, friends and colleagues of the late Ogunsanwo to work towards immortalising the deceased, saying what he stood for was to see a better nation as he constantly advocated in his several opinion pieces.

The Governor said the rich experience and knowledge of the late Ogunsanwo, especially his contributions to national issues through his editorial contents will be sorely missed.

He said: “The death of Mr. Gbolabo Ogunsanwo is a great loss to the media industry and he will be greatly missed. He made lots of positive impact during his life time, contributing meaningfully to the growth and development of journalism in Nigeria.

“He wrote his name in gold in the Sunday Times Newspaper as the first editor to hit one million copies in sales per edition. He was a role model to many journalists in Nigeria having nurtured many media practitioners who have become leading voices in the journalism profession and leaders in different sectors.

“As the Editor of the Sunday Times and later acting Editor of the Daily Times, Ogunsanwo’s landmark achievements in the media industry were unprecedented as the newspaper during his time sold almost a million copies in a day. Till date no other newspapers in Nigeria has broken that record.

“I sympathise with his family and friends and I pray that God will give them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”

  30. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
    “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell
    someone!

  40. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a
    quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
    I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
    recommendations or hints? Appreciate it!

  57. I believe everything posted was actually very logical.
    But, think about this, suppose you added a little
    information? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Sanwo-Olu Mourns
    Former Sunday Times Editor, Ogunsanwo. | thenewnarrativeonline is a little vanilla.
    You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they
    create article headlines to grab viewers to open the links.

    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve got to
    say. In my opinion, it could make your posts a
    little bit more interesting.
