HAH:
Newsline was started by the duo of Yinka Craig and Patrick I forgot his surname, it it was after they left that frank olize took over, due to the goodness of Mr Olize with did not miss the former anchors

nairaman66:
I don't know him and I am not a member of the indomie generation!!

Impossible!

It is either you live in the extreme village
OR
Outside of Nigeria
OR
You were too young (indomie generation)

For you not to know Frankolize.

Or Your Parent don't own a TV.

Everyone watched Newsline (until Frank left NTA)

Yinka Craig, and one Hausa man, memory fails me. used to anchor that early morning show. I liked listening to those two.

That means you didn't meet Abike dabiri too cos after Frank, Abike took over before joining politics (AC/APC)

Oga, abeg choose one.
You either know him or belong to the noodles generation.
Frank Olize remains unmissable, even if you lived on Koma hills or the remotest part of Maiduguri

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?

salford:
of course. Abike dabiri took over from him. I remember cyril stober too.

Abike did a wonderful job too. After Abike, NTA just die like that. No thanks to the birth of AIT, STV, Channels etc

AngelicBeing:
Yup, and the likes of Ruth Benamaisia Opia, late Tokunbo Ajayi, Abike Dabiri, Cyril Stober, Ronke Ayuba, Eugenia Abu, l will add more if l can still recall them

No need to refer to my parents dude! By the way, they asked who knows him not who owns TVs then!!

Sadiq Daba of AM express.

He played the famous police detective in Kunle Afolayan's movie- October 1

Goke7:
Many of the indomie generation will never know that abike dabiri was even a correspondent for Newsline with frank olize, the Mary story comes to mind which actually brought abike dabiri to limelight. Those of the days of sweet journalism in this same Nigeria and on NTA for that matter.

she was also a presenter. She left for politics.

Gaius Obaseki was running the show quietly.

@OP, Newsline was never the same when Frank olize left.
But I don't understand how people feel marriage is the final achievement of life. Even the bible says u can stay single if u can be chaste.
Marriage this, marriage that.
Everyone is free to stay single or marry when they want.

Na una go still dey complain say people dey divorce left and right.

Na only one person get one small black n white TV for our community that time.... Na there we they go watch newsline, masquerade, Willie Willie, nite rider, how time flies ... And i never still marry uptil now sef

Blainz:

the name of Dr. Livi Ajunoma. I do not know if the spellings are right.

Where is his cane chair?

I remember him just like yesterday. His slogan used to be, good evening Nigeria! Welcome to Newsline. I am Frank Olise; do u know where your children are? Back then, no matter where u are, to avoid stories that touch be home before 9pm.

Sure I do. There was a favourite reporter of mine, is he still active, lol.
Emma Okondo (pauses) NTA News.

simoncynto:
I know so many new generation youth won't know this great presenter who ruled d Nigeria broadcasting with his unique style of presenting d popular Sunday-sunday tonic 'Newsline' every 9:15pm.Nigerians (old n young)always wait in anticipation to get d latest weird gist n story at d time.On a lighter note,if u followed this icon's programme and u are still single,u need deliverance.


Frank Olize pictured at his daughter's wedding in Dubai last year

Hahaha Lol Oga Frank, it's nice seeing this old face again, @ Op i know him and i watched Newline too but am not married, Oya come to ma house and force marriage on me

nairaman66:

I am sorry if I sound offensive.

I will never disrespect your Parent.

Every Nigerian watched Frankolize then: few homes had video players and except in cases where ones parent are Deeper life members (who don't watch TV) not because they can't afford it

nairaman66:
I don't know him and I am not a member of the indomie generation!!

You no get tv?

Who no know news line.


His sign off quote " good evening am Frank olize"

You beindomie generation joor


Or you parents didn't know were you were.

SuperSuave:
Unfortunately I do not know him, I met Kehinde Young Harry

me too. That woman is ageless and very simple

pyyxxaro:
The person above me must be a member of the Indomie Community


Good evening I'm Frank Olise

Do you know where your children are?

I was a kid then... My dad made me listen to Nta's " tonight @ nine" and my favourite "News line" . Frank Olize was lean then, he also loved hats. I can still remember the sound track of the Sunday night show.( Looks like a guitar and trumpet blend). Good old days... Monochrome display tv.
