Hello people...welcome to the first day of a new week! More on mondays later on in the show. How were your various events? the weddings, birthdays, beach parties etc? I had fun being at and putting together a few events this past weekend from VENUS s.h.a.r.e
AAAARRRREEEEAAAA!!! how is your area? I appreciated the fact that in the midst of the fun here, two people complained about the road and light situation, Yes in their area; imagine that an area of Egbeda have not had power since august last year! So we have all sides covered, keep it coming.
MEMORY LANE, took a trip back to our tenth birthday; that is for the few that could remember and those that had to put a quick call to their parents to get the details. It was as varied as the people calling, also it seemed like parents didn't get around to celebrating birthdays after the tenth, so it was sound advice for those under ten from TOSYN BUCKNOR- make sure yours is celebrated, because after then, you are too old!
TOP 9 MOMENTS featured Aramide in place of Leke..
NATO alliance annouced that the nigerian ship crew held by Somali pirate have been released after being held for 10months, the longest time they have ever held any set of hostages.
Megan Fox(star of the TRANSFORMER movie) has complained about sexual harrassment from hollywood top brass, i'm i hearing right? It goes to show that beasts exist even in the best of systems...
Nigeria showed no class in their win over Kenya, this just goes to validate the fears when i argued that i wish we had lost the France match because due to the win, we'll assume we have a complete team and relapse into our usual nonchallant state. More over i didn't believe that the new team that executed that match would be allowed to participate when the unserious "big boys" come in...
Federer won his 14th grand slam yesterday at Roland Garros, i'm no Federer fan though but hey the guy has all my respects. He has equalled the record of my favourite player ever-Pete Sampras, in number of grand slam won.
British MPs are loosing their jobs over funds misappropriation. This is putting a lot of smear on british politics, it seems to me that juxtaposed with the Nigerian political climate, Britain is making too much fuss over this. Afterall in Nigeria there is the contest for who can steal the most cash without getting prosecuted even if they are caught!
On a sad note, nine bodies have been recovered from the Air france that crashed raising hop of the recovery of more bodies.
This day 11years ago,Abacha passed away also Umar Bongo of Gabon died after 14years ago on the seat..
We salute Nigerian soldiers who participated in the second world war for the British even as we remember their efforts towards having the safe world we have to live in today.
This weekend there was the VENUS s.h.a.r.e event with the ladies at swe bar, It was a swell time with biz contacts being made and the opportunityy the ladies had to grill a male; the Crown Troupe also had a preview of their album launch at the National Theatre with Princess, Sound Sultan, W4 etc it was fun all the way.
There was a few other events that rocked this weekend and you all pitched in with your tales...
Do you love mondays? it was the forum for those that go against the tide of the world-wide phenomena experienced by workers, coming out of the weekend of rest. Funny but alot of people like me (at least for now) do good with mondays... Do you?

Good morning, how was your night? its one more working day to the weekend and the cycle continues again...we are already looking forward to the weekend. Anyways, AREA to you....for me, its shout out to my primary school-Bishop Crowther sapele! yes O!
It was the schools shout out amidst the traffic updates and we are beginning to have "correspondents" as far as Western avenue, 3rd mainland, Abulegba, Iju and a few other places are concerned...please keep it up, we'll mention names in a bit. We even have callers with multiple personality orders thanks to Tosyn Bucknor. Kudos to Dami from Ogijo and Adeshewa from Ikeja they sang in their different ways, nice AREA compositions, good job and keep doing your "thang".
We obviously have a lot of people becoming fans of the TOP CLICK segment. Here are a few tips on how not to get bored online doing only face book:
you can blog: its a nice way of expressing yourself and passing across your views and if well utilized, money can be made, legitimately that is.
for downloads of naija music you can go to: switchedonnaija.net or follow face book links
for games check: wap.tuz.az
celebrateafrica.net is created by a couple of sisters determined to celebrate Africa.
Leke's TOP 9 followed up on the story of the Air France plane. The debris found a few days ago have been confirmed to be that of the plane, the search still goes on though there is little chance of survivors but our prayers are still with them.
The power project in Nigeria has been given a boost? with the award of multi-billion naira contracts. To whom? Hopefully not politicians...
PROVERBS LANE had a few to keep us tuned, there was a lot but my pick;
the ant eating the efo is around it.
We had the SING YOUR STORY segment, is it that a lot of people have their hearts broken weekly? Its got to be necessary to keep the earth in rotation, i think. But it is balanced by, i believe, twice as much love-filled hearts (if not, which kain world?). Today had a lot of love going out to the TOP RADIO crew with Uche having a song dedicated to her as she celebrates her birthday today. Thanks to the dedicated folk out there listening... you guys make it fun doing your thing. Remember i told you yesterday to get your vocal lessons because she's gonna make you sing.
Have a great day!!
See you tomorrow

BOUQUI in the house
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…
