DELE MOMODU AND OVATION
It did not only end his personal economic struggle, but it spawned an entirely new ‘Industry’ with countless entrepreneurs copying his idea, floating their own variants and providing employment for many.
Dele Momodu was a young, upwardly mobile and fast rising Nigeria journalist until the Nigeria military junta annulled the 1993 presidential election won by the late Chief M. K. O. Abiola. He threw himself headlong into the battle to reclaim that mandate and expectedly became hunted by the military government of the late General Abacha. Thereafter he became one of many fighters for liberty who were forced into exile.
In exile, things were tough and rough until the power of idea surged in his mind and he gave Africa its first all picture, social and event magazine OVATION.
This novel idea – at least as far as the continent of Africa was concerned became a hit and a runaway leader in that segment of the magazine industry till today.
