RIP. Tokunbo Ajayi was really cool. Aisha Kantung too. There was an NTA (channel 7) in Tejuosho, yaba, then. I believe she used to be there before moving to Abuja. They broadcasted mainly in Yoruba, except for the English news.

Back then on NTA, Tokunbo, Aisha, Ruth Benamesia-Opia and Cyril on network news. Frank Olize and Abike Dabiri on newsline. Modele Sarafa-Yusuf, Fabio Lanipekun, Walter Oyatogun on Sports. Cele Eradire was a correspondent.

There was a lovely musical programme on NTA then anchored by OC Lee. I learnt he died too.

Good old days.

So I heard o. So it was true? cry

Armed robbers invaded her house at night. The matter was reported to the police. The police later caught the robbers and they confessed that they carried out the robbery and raped someone while they were in the house (the police were surprised because only the robbery was reported to them). Tokunboh Ajai was later found dead in her flat in London.

Rest in peace tokombo ajayi.
Her voice was captivating.
She was a broadcaster during the dark days of Nigeria just like we have now...
They had to do the dirty jobs of dishing out propaganda to the masses through the one and only station available then. Most of us watched her on black and white television.
Journalism now an all comes affair

You obviously think it is something to laugh about or even worse to be proud of.
What manner of depravity and bestiality only worthy of wild animals. Any man with such primordial disposition needs to be castrated slowly and in the most painful manner. angry

You are my friend and I respect that a lot. And when we have different opinions on issues. We should argue maturely. You got to stop quoting me on every thread and repeating the same thing. Please stop it cos it's getting annoying and i don't want to lose my calm. When I raise a point and you don't agree with it. Tell me why. Stop quotinge on every thread and saying this rubbish you are always saying. Na when your papa get money buy TV self. So thinking I have to depend on the social media Era is mumuish of you.

When we don dey watch big dish and multichoice, you'll have to wait till 4pm in front of your TV watching the lines and that annoying sound expecting nta to start transmission. No just let me talk biko. Use your brain for what it's meant for.

It was said she committed suicide after being raped at her home by a notorious robber/serial rapist in Abuja. The man was nabbed sometime later.

The man no get name

[size=20pt]It's difficult to believe that a world-class professional would take her life because she was raped. And in Nigeria where there're numerous friends & relatives, especially lovers with whom to discuss such trauma.[/size]

Abeg make Una talk wetin happen to the woman, & forget tales by moonlight.

How many of your friends, relatives and lovers have you comforted after their rape trauma?
How many?
You speak as if you do not know there is a big STIGMA on rape victims in our country.
Abeg swerve o jare.

The government decide to cover the story since they could not find the arm robbers and who hurt that innocent woman.
