His magazine ,Newswatch seemed to lose its fieriness after the murder of Dele Giwa, a co-founder.

Majority hope to live longer but should always expect that death can knock on anyone's door , anytime.

It appears to me that she lived a fulfilled life. Adieu Ma

Those days when we'll print 50,000 copies of Newswatch , Tell, success digest. Daily guide and The-News magazine every weekend .
I'll read editor's like Ray Ekpu , Dele Motunde and the rest after saddle stitching.
May her soul rest in peace 🙏

Ray Ekpu, Chris Anyanwu and Osa Director were some of the journalists who fought for the democracy that some people are enjoying today. RIP Mrs Ekpu.

The cerebral Ray Ekpu. I had the honour of being on stage with him last November to toast to the health of Gov. Victor Attah during the later's birthday and book launch.
And just last Sunday, we were having a debate in our WhatsApp group about neo-feminism, misogyny, and other gender issues.

Rest on, ma'am.

RIP Ma. Her husband, Ray Ekpu is a modest man who's stayed out of bad publicity since the assassination of his alter ego Dele Giwa via letter bomb. I remember their days in News watch magazine, the departed Uyal must have been a bastion of strength for him....stay strong sir........ undecided undecided undecided undecided

With this history you are telling, then your moniker name supposed to be changed 😅😅😅

Uyai Ekpu's 73 years within the cycle of human existence it's bad.

My condolences go to the iconic Ray Ekpu (who co-founded the investigatve Newswatch Magazine with the fearless 'Dele Giwa who got blown by a parcel bomb in his Ikeja residence in 1986) and his family over the translation of his spouse.

Indeed, Ray Ekpu, Chris Anyanwu, Osa Director... in addition Bayo Onanuga and Kunle Ajibade of The News Magazine, 'Dele Alake formerly of Concord newspapers, Bagauda Kaltho (who got blown by a bomb in Kaduna), Syivester Odion Akhaine (who was badly beaten up by military goverment goons and was jailed for over 1 year) and more truly fought for democracy using the principles of "guerilla journalism" to achieve their aims as they faced the brutal and repressive military dictatorships back in the 1980s and most especially the 1990s.

We are grateful to all of them for adding value to the democratic struggles by activists before 1999 and even post-1999 which the younger ones here don't have a deep knowledge about.

Whao! So Mr Ray Ekpu is even around in this nation. Remember him back in the days of Newswatch and TELL Magazines. RIP to your wife sir. May the good Lord give your entire family comfort.

What a life! Each time I see Ray Ekpu, I cant stop remembering Dele Giwa.

I saw Dele Giwa's burial site by the road side along Ekperi not too far from Auchi Poly, I was shocked. A colleague pointed it to me, I was moved to tears. An icon like him buried by the roadside na wa o.

Dele Giwa was Edo? I'm just knowing today

A thousand years before the Almighty God is just like a day. He created mankind to live forever, life everlasting he had put in the heart of men.( Read the bible book of Ecclesiastic 3:11) that is the primary reason why no one wants to die.
One day no longer than necessary, his unfailing promise for you and I to live and enjoy life in perfect conditions will be fully realized though the sacrificial death of his Son Christ Jesus. That was the primary purpose why Christ Jesus came to earth. John 3:16, Matthew 20:28, Revelation 21:3-5

You remember the war between them, Newswatch and Tell Magazine: Some watch the news, we tell it.

This comment of yours is the type that reveals that the fellow making the comment is not only old a bit but also someone who knew what was happening around them growing up.

Kudos Mr old school.

Journalists were not the only one who fought for the democracy.

As little as NANS was, they did their bit not to talk of others too numerous to mention.
Re: Ray Ekpu's Wife, Uyai Is Dead by Ndipe(m): 6:59am On Apr 25
"Others watch the news, we tell it," was the slogan of Tell Magazine when it debuted in 1991. Some felt it was a direct attack on Newswatch magazine including Ekpu who rebutted, "how can you tell the news without watching it?"

@aikyg, I appreciate.

Indeed, it's good to emphasize these historical facts from time to time because we live in a world of cycles and lessons can be learned by studying historical and economic cycles as we advance into the future.

Do have a great day ahead.
