Frank Olize is unarguably a legendary broadcaster who was a dominant brand on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in 1980s and 1990s. He was very popular as anchor of Newsline, a programme aired every Sunday on NTA from 9pm – 10pm. Not just that the programme was very interesting, Olize’s unique presentation style kept viewers captivated and glued to their television sets while he was on air. He took television presentation to another level through that programme.

Olize had a way of activating viewers emotions while they watched the programme, to the extent that he even let tears drop from his eyes when a story got so emotional and he couldn’t hold himself anymore. He made that programme a Sunday-Sunday tonic for many Nigerians.

The veteran broadcaster went ‘off the radar’ after leaving the NTA, with very little or no information on his post-NTA activities. Even when you browse his name online you hardly find information on his profile or post-NTA life. The most prominent information you find on him is his photos at his daughter’s wedding in Dubai. Probably he wants to enjoy a post-broadcasting life. One thing is sure: whether he is off the radar or operating incognito, Frank Olize is still very vivid in the minds of many Nigerians who enjoyed his presentations while anchoring Newsline on NTA.

Nice post!

Oh... Frank Olize and Yinka Craig... Patrick Oke were true veterans of that breakfast show in the 1980s to the early 2000s and Newsline on Sundays.


Frank Olize is from Illah in Delta North which is
the same town that Stephen Keshi, Desmond
Olusola Elliot's mum, and a host of very brilliant personalities come from.

The delectable Lola Alakija (formerly married into the Ogunbambi family but now a divorcee for close
to 30 years now ) is
very much alive and featured prominently during
the NTA @40 series of events in 2018! You can
find it on YouTube.


She was one of the best on NTA network news
back in the day.


Her 2014 pictures are attached below with
other female NTA veterans.

Just read a bit more about her. Good to know life’s going on well for them all. Shocked to read she’s now 62?!

There are some words he used to say before reading the news headlines. "Good evening, I am Frank Olize, Do you know where your children are?
I so love it eh. Indomie generation can never know!!!!

years of TV broadcasting and nation building.

Amiable personality!

Don't know what you guys saw in it. It was just bland and sleep inducing. Watched videos all the time instead. Then came CTL in 1989 and I resigned from NTA permanently.

Different strokes for different folks.

Remembered how he handled a case of two women dragging a child before the third woman came in for the ownership.... very truthful man and he actually played Solomon in that episode. “It’s 9’clock. Do you know where children are?” After that speech my mom will just look at us.....hahahahahaha.

Fond memories
