An America-born radio presenter, Daniel ‘Dan’ Foster, has become the highest-paid On Air-Personality in Nigeria


Foster, who was raised partly in Washington by his widowed father, and later in Baltimore by his grandmother, moved to Nigeria in 2000 and almost instantly became the darling of radio listeners.

In less than five years, he warmed his way into the hearts of millions in Lagos, making his platform – Cool FM 96.9 – a hit with fans and critics.

Fondly called the Top Dogg, Dan, a graduate of Drama and Broadcasting from Morgan State University, Baltimore, laced his shifts on Cool FM with a mix of humour, fascinating wit, and incredible spontaneity.

Before leaving Cool FM last month, to take up an appointment with Inspiration FM, Cool FM’s Good Morning Nigeria show, which Dan anchored, was the most favoured breakfast show on Nigerian radio.

Advertisers scrambled to get slots on the shift, and revenue from SMS was at its peak. Sources at the station say Dan’s employers at Cool were so happy with him that they allegedly paid him nearly $5,000 per month.

The average monthly take-home of OAPS at Cool dangles between N100,000 and N200,000. Workers in Lagos reportedly earn more than their colleagues in the Abuja station.

But now, if E-Punch investigations are anything to go by, the multiple award-winning broadcaster may have upped his earnings by over 100 per cent.

A reliable source told us during the week that his contract at Inspiration is worth at least N1million per month.

Currently, no Nigerian OAP earns anything in that realm. Rhythm’s IK Osakioduwa and Jacob Akinyemi-Johnson belong to the category of highest paid OAPs, and neither of them currently earn up to Dan’s former Cool FM income.

A highly-placed industry source told E-Punch that the average take home pay for most cherished OAPs, from Ray Power to Rhythm or Cool FM, lies between N100,000 and N250,000.

‘‘Except such person has other responsibilities, like being on a management level, or on a special contract,’’ the source said.

There were unconfirmed reports Dan’s benefits at Inspiration may include a house and brand new car.

It may be easy to argue that Dan has worked for whatever he earns now. For three consecutive years – 2003-2005, he was named the radio personality of the year at the Nigeria media merit awards.

‘‘A colleague who didn’t want his name mentioned told us ‘‘usually, OAPs should even earn more. In the US, they get paid massive, because they are talents.

“They earn more than regular office workers. So it’s a good trend that’s starting with Dan, Wildchild and other guys who are getting paid properly.’’

The owners of Inspiration FM have caused quite some stir in the broadcast sector since they started poaching staff from Silverbird and Cool Fm two months back.

When Wale Scott, one of the workers who left Rhythm for Inspiration FM updated his status last week, his message was simple: ‘‘how can you find your rhythm when you’ve got no inspiration?’’

Currently away on international duty with France, Florent Malouda gave his thoughts on the start of the season and his settling in period to chelseafc.com before he departed.


The winger's performances this season have seen him earn rave reviews, most recently against Aston Villa on Sunday, in which he played a part in both Chelsea goals, and in addition provided a number of goalscoring opportunities for team-mates.


Prior to the game, Malouda had called for an improvement in points returns at Stamford Bridge, having managed draws in the previous two home games. What followed was arguably Chelsea's best football of the season, with flowing pass and move football the flavour of the day.


This style, so easily adopted under the stewardship of Luiz Felipe Scolari, seems to suit the 28-year-old, who was seen popping up not just in his accustomed left-wing role, but also on the right and in the centre.


The freedom afforded him on the pitch, Malouda feels, comes from feeling liberated in the mind, a change brought about by the Brazilian.


When he arrived at the club, Scolari talked of wanting the Malouda he had seen play for Lyon prior to his arrival in SW6, and the player believes he is beginning to deliver.


'I think maybe he switched my mentality a little, to be free in my mind when I attack like I was at Lyon. When you arrive at a club like Chelsea you want to do more things and maybe not play on your qualities, to show everybody and prove yourself.


'This year I think that little change, to try to be good and play on my qualities, and then after the rest will come easily.'


The early signs are encouraging and Malouda, sat in the canteen at Cobham, seems in happy and relaxed mood, pleased with how the campaign is shaping up.


It is with good reason too. He has appeared in each of our 10 games this season, seven times a starter, which is a contrast to an injury-hit first season, which began with a knee injury in November 2007.


It was a problem that stayed with him, affecting confidence and performance for the rest of that campaign. Despite a return to match fitness in early January, he was in and out of the side, preferred frequently as a substitute or a more conservative choice than Salomon Kalou in Champions League away games.


With questions over his close friend Didier Drogba's future refusing to go away, so came speculation on whether Malouda's stay may be short-lived.


A matter of months on, and the answers are clear. Both Drogba, though curtailed by injury, and Malouda are both contented parts of the squad, and the message from the Frenchman is that he is only looking ahead.


'I feel very good, now I can say I am really back from injury because my knee is okay and I am really fit,' he smiles, speaking in fluent English.


'I am happy, I always wanted to play for this club and win something here. Last year was my first in England, I had to adapt and now I feel I am really integrated in this team, this club and I feel like I have always been here.

'I am really happy about my life in London, in Chelsea, and that's what I always wanted.'


Two goals have already been contributed, two-thirds of the way to last season's total, but still with room for improvement before he reaches the 25 league goals struck in 122 Lyon appearances. As well as goals, Malouda has other important targets he wants to hit. . . .

From what i see, it's usually graduates in mgt sci that get exemptions from 4 papers. You could see the text studies of the f5 - f9 to see if you could cope with it.

Every week, over 25% of Internet users worldwide play online games, which amounts to over 200 million people. This number is growing at a rate of almost 17% each year.¹

To continue to fuel the growth of online games for users and as part of our ongoing efforts to develop new ways for publishers to earn revenue, Google announced today the availability of AdSense for GamesTM, a program that integrates video advertisements into web-based games, complemented by text and image ads.

The program helps advertisers reach its audiences in new ways. Google is working with select game developers and publishers including Konami, Playfish, Zynga, Demand Media, games network Mochi Media, as well as beta advertisers such as Esurance, Sprint, and Sony Pictures.

With this program, advertisers can now reach the growing number of gamers who are engaged in online play. For instance, in anticipation of a sporting event, an advertiser can use the technology of AdSense for Games to feature its logo within that sports event’s accompanying online game and reach its relevant demographic as a result.
