Babjide Kolade-Otitoju is head of news at TVC.

He’s highly intelligent and knowledgeable. I like him a lot, because he gives detailed and satisfactory answers to all questions asked on Journalists Hangout on TVC.

Some people even call him an “encyclopedia.” I think there cannot be a truer word.

However, there is a big flaw in his habit: He heckles fellow journalists who say something contrary to him.

When Babajide talks, he is rarely interrupted. But when some other journalists talk, especially espousing something contrary to his opinions, he will interrupt them (sometimes continuously).

It usually happens when a woman is anchoring the program, and this is becoming embarrassing.

Those who blame others, who think they are knowledgeable, who think they can do better, should also demonstrate it in the simplest terms.

If a journalist is saying something which is contrary to Babajide’s opinions, why can’t he wait for the journalist to land, before refuting him? If he thinks he may forget the fact, why can’t he jot it down, and later mention the points to be proven wrong.


Can we call it narrow-mindedness? This is Babjide Kolade-Otitoju’s weakness; and an ignominious weakness it is.

Candid advice op, post his picture. Write aptly and brief, let the comments judge him.

You just point out his weakness in the best possible way and if he's reading this(i believe he will), he should start correcting himself. You cannot always be right and even if you're, allow others make their own submission without shuting them down. Most of those other jornalists are his guest and guests must be treated right.
Aside that i love his wealth of knowledge about just everything. He wow me again yesterday while talking about sport(tenis); you need to see how he was talking from experience and reffering to past histories. He is very good and i'm proud of him personally; dont ask me why.

These are brilliant contributions.

He has paid his dues....
I celebrate you....a great mentor

@OP,you are correct about his incessant interruption at the JH but I liked the guy for his wealth of knowledge. He needs to understand acceptance of opinions contrary to his own.[i][/i]
