there is nothing classic about NTA or its presenters and why is IK not there?

Frank Olize was an NTA News correspondent. He became very famous in 1983 when he went out on the streets to ask people, "Who is the common man?" (Nigeria had an economic crisis which started in 1982 and people were always referring to "the common man", "Can the common man afford this?", etc, so he went on the streets to ask people, who is this common man that everybody is talking about ).

He also did similar hilarious interviews on the streets and he became known for that.

In the early 1990s, he took over as host of Newsline. Newsline had started c1988 with Yinka Craig and Patrick Oke as hosts.

He left Newsline in the late 1990s or early 2000s and started Tuesday Night Live (Abike Dabiri took over as host of Newsline) and that was the last show that he presented on the NTA.
