Celebrity Wednesday showed up this week again… and apart from our regular traffic updates aaarrreeeaaa was about finding your personal celebrity. As Tosyn Bucknor would say, Yes O! It’s nice to have screen celebrities but everyday celebrities abound in our lives. The things we have to go through have revealed so much strength in everyday people. Let’s face it; many celebrities have not had any positive influence on our lives whatsoever so why not celebrate the real deal? …let’s leave it there.
On VENUS s.h.a.r.e the ladies (they do this every week, thank God Edoyak spoke up for the guys!) talked about fashion, what to wear when there is a specified dress code for an event.
Black tie event: this should feature polite evening gowns.
Formal: this is strictly suits, A-line skirts, shirts and the like. No mixture with jeans (tom-boys take note)
Touch of: should strictly be ‘a touch of’ as in the accessories, shoes, top and ‘not a splash of’
Dressy-casual: this should be a cross between suits and chinos pants not jeans or t-shirts
Cocktail: you could go on the above the knee with your gown not bum shorts
Casual: you can go on the jeans and t-shirts here
One thing to note is that it is nice and polite to heed the dress codes on your IVs.
On Leke’s: NITEL has been placed under the supervision of a board till it can be taken over properly. Remember yesterday I was like why does the government not want to sell. I thought aloud, and my thoughts? They have been confirmed. They have to sell when NITEL is not so bad looking. So how long would this plastic surgery take?
FIFA security officials have said they were working on the security situation for the Nigeria-Kenya match, so people get ready to go see the match, with your family? that’s up to you.
There is tension in South Korea over the amassing of weapon by North Korea. This definitely is a threat to world peace. This N.Korea sef.
MJ, who doesn’t love him? You know he announced he was going to do his last concert in London this year, but reports have it that his manager singed an agreement for him to do a concert with the Jackson 5 and Janet Jackson and do no other show for 18 months. Haba! So the London show can’t hold? You don’t want the rage of those London fans that waited 5hours to hear MJ speak for 2mins. Just allow the guy enjoy his old age, for Christ sake let him retire in peace. World people.
We had B.O.U.Q.U.I in the house and she’s got swag. We all just felt her nice upbeat personality; TOSYN I think has away of bringing out the ‘insane side’ of her guests. There were a lot of questions and she had plenty to say about the songs in her upcoming album. She sings o, hmm…see diversification of talent to encroach on available market. I think I heard her sing in about 3songs.
She had a love song called LOVE YOU, yes a love song and it was really cool.
The latest song she did featured Code Steps (one of the biggest funky house artistes in the UK). The song is called Jumping;
She studied administration in the University and has 8years experience on radio and TV.
She just started her record label! All in all, it was a blast!
See you next week on Celeb Wednesday next week and join up on TOP OF THE MORNING tomorrow. 6am-11am

Good morning people, how are you doing today?
Area had the sing along menu on offer today. I suggest everyone go get their voice classes together so you don't have to come on air begging not to sing because Area Mama will make you sing.. i think its AREA OOO! (something like that). One of our regular callers even had to call from onicha-ugbo in my state, the big heart, Delta! Our condolences go out to him for the loss he's experienced. Dominic couldn't do without TOP OF THE MORNING...
On the PUBLIC FORUM the gist was why do industries go for a particular physical look over the content of the person. Though this is a dicey topic any day and there is the possibility that people would try to sound politically correct, it was heartening to note that a lot of people had blunt opinions. Many stuck with the fact that a beautiful lady was much more appealing than just any lady even though intellect still mattered. A lot of people have had really bad experiences because they were too fat, too short (like Tosyn was denied a spot on TV), too dark, too ugly etc. Some have even been looked down upon as dumb because they were so beautiful.
But like a text adjudged to be the best by Tosyn Bucknor said, everyone has something about them that was special all we need to do is discover and package and then show it.
Leke's TOP 9 MOMENTS unfolded the following:
Nitel sell-off has been called off! i like the sound of that. Why is it not being sold? Is it to protect a national treasure or its just unsellable?
The UN is seeking the release of child soldiers by the Chad army. This is one sore thumb the African continent has carried for so long, i wonder what it will take to free ourselves off these issues. We keep hoping, trying and loving us even more.
An American woman(bearing a name that sounds Nigerian) who gave birth to a set of octuplets after having six other kids so incurring the angst of the American public, has agreed to star in a reality show that will document their lives. Lets hope she is not too money conscious to renege on the up bring of the octuplets.
The only remaining survivor of the Titanic has passed on. She died on Sunday. Our hearts definitely go out for this one.
Then the biggest entertainment story in a while SUSAN BOYLE. There's been so many twists to her story the latest being her being admitted to hospital for exhaustion which has elicited such a huge uproar in the media. I envy her, she's being a diva, let her revel in the attention.
On the HOW TO HOUR we unearthed grave secrets on how we could wreck a successful business partnership. The conclusions were;
Disagree on everything
Have clearly undefined roles
Ignore the underlying strength of your partner
Don't heed the views, opinions and needs of your partner
Open up your secrets to your strongest competitor
Make advances to your partners wife
Stick gum on your partner's seat during a meeting
It was indeed very informative.
Have great day o!

Hello everybody, welcome from the democracy holidays! How did yours go? Hope you had fun and fulfilled some of your long procrastinated desires?
AArreeaa was on fire today to energize you for the week after all the rest. It was back to the regular bumper to bumper traffic reports and hustle but thank God Area mama was around to keep you entertained all through the stress.
We went down MEMORY LANE. For a few it was 15 years ago, some 25 years and others 40 years all the way back to primary school. We gave shout outs to our favourite teachers. Reminisced about the marching songs (parents listen to your children…, o when the saints…) it was nice to know we basically had the same experience. Then there was the seat mates we fell in love with, the teachers we wanted to marry; back then we didn’t have the luxury of “having a crush” it is these days that we hear about all of those pleasures. I had a teacher I remember not because of her face but her actions. In my primary school days as it is today, i was very intelligent; this teacher had a very pretty half-caste niece in my class and all the boys were dying to be friends with her. She didn’t flow with me that much but this teacher would bring her to sit by me during exams so she could spy my work. I was mad at the teacher not the girl…
We reviewed our weekend and a lot of people had fun obviously people are listening to the advice from TOP OF THE MORNING some wanted to pull Area mama down to their events, we may start having her move around with bodyguards because the love is too gbasky!
It’s the kick start of a new week and we hope, we know you had an energetic TOP OF THE MORNING. This is the first day of the sixth month, shouldn’t we start evaluating our targets and visions to see how far we’ve gone or if we have even started? I’m on mine right now. Thanks for staying here.
See you all tomorrow on TOP RADIO 90.0 from 6am – 11am wit Area mama, Sweet Sixteen and Tosyn Bucknor…

DEMOCRACY DAY!!
Its democracy day! yeahhhhhh!
OK, how did it sound in your head? No, honestly how did it? How did you read it? Did you scream with excitement, did you puff it out with a sneer or you didn’t even read it consciously? However, it is Nigeria’s democracy day. Congratulations everyone.
There has been call from some social-scientists that we should define our democracy in terms of our peculiarities as Africans nay Nigerians because what we have is nothing compared to what obtains elsewhere…what do you think?
However, its an opportunity for you to kick back, relax and enjoy the public holiday.
AARREEAA, was fun with a lot of people complaining about not getting through to TOSYN, need we say more about TOP OF THE MORNING'S fans? They are the best!!
So let's talk, what's up with you for the weekend? I like telling people to take care of themselves because you might discover that you are the only one that really, really cares about you(sometimes sha). So, give no excuses, go see a few movies, take walks with the one you love, visit an orphanage, encourage someone with a visit, a text or call, go swimming; a lot of concerts are going down this weekend, check them out. Basically, give yourself a treat!
A few things going on this weekend include:
Arabian night courtesy Phoenix
Sundays at the bay
The FA cup final between Chelsea and Everton
Plays, readings etc at the national theatre
On LEKE's TOP 9 MOMENTS; Nigeria's President says we've made progress in this country, isn't this the reason students dont mark their own exam sheets?
Then, security was tightened around the national assembly complex because militants threatened to blow it up, due to the legislature backing the present military onslaught in the Niger-delta...we pray for peace o!
An angry Man U fan drove a bus into a crowd of Barca supporters while they were rejoicing over the champion's league victory. Football. Champion's league. Barca. Man U. How do they relate to our immediate issues as Nigerians? Do they care this much about us? even in footballing issues? with the myriad of racial incidents black players face and other related but sundry issues?
We heard also that Chris brown is in the news again, being sued for assaulting a fotographer. Everybody wants their piece of his pie.
What is your weekend going to be like? Democracy day makes it three days of bliss! Congratulations to those celebrating their birthdays, weddings etc
On entertainment report, we reviewed a few shows that featured during the children's day celebration; we had the "we are stars " party to celebrate with children and persons with special needs. The stars on parade include Kate Henshaw-Nuttal, Chioma Chukuka, Djinee, Jesse Jags, Phoenix, Tosyn Bucknor, Modenine, Eric Arubayi, Nikki Laoye, Frank Edoho, Omawummi, OC Ukeje, Bimbo Akintola, etc. If you could just be there and feel the atmosphere, it would bring tears to your eyes just how much love was on display and how blessed you are to be able to do things on your own. Come and see some of this special needs folk dancing and having fun...
More on entertainment, we examined the sophomore album issue and tried to wonder what the impact the following artistes would have after their first offering. Will they be jinxed? Will they change their style? Will they stick to their winning formula? What do they do to guarantee their success?
We considered out;
Ashionye
Colbie caillat
Etcetera
Jeniffer Hudson
M.I
Asa
Naeto C
with the successes of their first album, what do you think they should do with their sophomore album? post your suggestions here.
Have a wonderful weekend see you next week at TOP OF THE MORNING! TOP RADIO 90.9 from 6am-11am

celebrity wednesday
HAPI Children's day to all the kids out thetre especially our TOP OF THE MORNING fans..coming on the heels of yesterday's indian themed aarreeaa, today was the children-themed one and it was fun as usual with their funny conversations coupled with the fact that they have to be "directed" as they make the call.
We shared memories on kids, former kids, yet to be kids? Their behaviours and the wonderous doings they are known for. Kids just love having fun is the one thing they are known for. inspite of the fact that they sometimes have to be by themselves, in the rain, under the sun, stress or sometimes even when they have not eaten, they just try to enjoy their playtime and have fun! Like mudering your favorite songs, messing up the house you jut cleaned or soiling the outfit you just put on them. Kids have the simpliest of hearts that's why they are just so lovable. NO WONDER JESUS SAID WE SHOULD BE LIKE KIDS...
Leke Oyeyinka had TOP 9 MOMENTS INFORMING US THAT ribadu's SACK AS EFCC's chairman was upheld by an Abuja court...he should write a book you know, i'm just saying. There are some excperiences that shouldn't be told by someone else.
North Korea are at it again, testing missiles defying the United Nations, then when the full wrath of some nations come on them, they'd run to the UN and the world court for violation of their rights...?
we had JEDI in the studios and it was enough yapping, fun, jokes and from him. obviously he had gooood chemistry with TOSYN BUCKNOR, AREA MAMA
