lets say this or i would just decide to call a spade a spade. The dream of becoming one hell of a prolific OAP has always been a constant movie to watch every night... I am really fascinated about the job not for the pay though, i love to talk... You know what am saying but how would one go about it as this OAP job is not advertised unlike other jobs. Await your response soon

Apologies for the very late response;

Here's How I think we should go about it...

1. Pick your favorite OAP or OAPs.

2. Follow them on all social media platforms to learn from them. Engage them as often as possible. Many of them are open to sharing knowledge

3. Be a voracious learner. Listen intentionally to radio to learn how the top OAPs run their shows but don't copy. Everyone likes a unique voice

4. Fola Folayan (@4lah on twitter) is an OAP that is interested in developing people into good presenters. Check her out

[quote author=chccho post=48315708]@op I want to believe your post is a big joke cos I don't see any reasonable or meaningful advice in your post....
Don't forget that some of the best OAPs/presenters/journalist do not have an accent all they do is speak good English..E.g Ik the wild child,Frank edoho,femi sowoolu,Gbemi olateru e.t.c

Yes you're right @ the big joke, hence the name Parody. It's not meant to be taken seriously. But you'd also agree that many just feign an accent to be able to rise up the ranks

We hear them everyday, they grace our ears every time. They are nobody but our OAPS (On-air Personalities). Have you ever considered being an OAP and enjoy lots of goodies on the side? Well here are 3 tips to make it a reality;

Get a Foreign Accent - This can never be overemphasized. The more Behind your accent, the better your chances of rising through the ranks. It doesn't matter if your accent is a poor mixture of British and Spanish or the number of months you've spent abroad can be counted on 1 finger. Speak like an Americanah or anything but Nigerian!


Become a Motivational Speaker. Copy quotes from all over the internet and say it intermittently so that we'd be awed or think you to be a philosopher. Especially indepth ones like these "Aspire to desire to inspire to acquire to require to reacquire to inquire and also esquire" . Rhyming is a must in this business.


Start a Side Hustle - Sell something; shoes, bags, makeup, chargers, belts or anything and use your social media platforms to push your market. If you can't sell a product, sell a service; whether it's a training, masterclass, or whatever. SELL


BUT don't get it twisted, we love our OAPS to the moon and back.
