ou know those in political circles and we have them here they know what we are talking about thank you once again Genesis band all right we are here to commemorate the time yeah anniversary of new speak media and I think once again we should give new speak media a round of applause it is not easy to provide reliable in-depth news coverage to readers and it's online so it's all across the world that they can be accessed it's not so easy to ensure that fake news is uh dealt with it is not easy the
re is so much out there somebody will do it at some point in time said look third world war will be caused by fake news and I think that is true with the kind of information that we see out there right now so to tell us what you speak is all about from its own New Beginnings until now where we are having the 10th year anniversary celebrations with the maiden award ceremony I have the editor here Mr gide thank you very much a round of applause for him I welcome you specially too this occasion my
job is to take you through the last decade of our publication now before I run through the publication let me just tell you that uh the essence of this magazine we have a crop of journalists who operates anybody down here that time and we noticed that as important it is it's been grossly under reported and so we took two two kids upon ourselves so find a way of reading this Gap that was the reason why we came together so you know start a publication that would give people information about the f
ather and the people and governments around the capital city of the state ah it will interest you that at the beginning we actually started with celebrating the first female speaker history or for your state and that is a honorable speaker right honorable speaker who later became a member of the National Assembly it was I mean she became a senator so that was the first publication we published that Edition so not just to tell tell the public about the person that was sitting on that seat but als
o to highlight the activities of the house under her and so that was the first edition of our magazine later you know I told you that originally the intention we had was to ensure that ibadan is properly reported so after that we now thoughts that we have to actually properly Christine our magazine to reflect what we wanted to do and that's why we came up with ibadan today this Edition as you can see it the we had an interview with uh then the automobile of ibadan land and now foreign then we di
d a story on like people receive so we actually made an attempt to let people know what exactly is this life so we went there went in his ways [Music] were able to do justice so that's uh sorry we make such light too the government of uh senator abiola ajimobi who with a you know because we realized then that apart from those reporting you also need to Showcase positive side positive sides of governance in this so we had a kind of partnership with Senator abiola and Jim of his government and you
know at that time he was a honored with achievement by those so we gave the name of that magazine rushi so so uh you know to spotlights the activities of government then again next slide we went back to Madam speaker at that time she was 55. now we thought we needed to celebrate her so that was how we came about without addition then part of our job we also beamed our satellite on having our focus on the Real Estate House of Assembly where we were able to you know um highlight the activities of
the house only was will be installed was to be installed we also thoughts that um we needed you know so uh tell your worry about this enigma you know he was a young man coming into that Royals is not very big identities and we thought we should allow the police to know who is this personality and why is this considering him what actually is he bringing to the office of Leoni that was a then this is about his trip to North America immediately the only came into office he he paid a visit to the F
s in the North America they hosted him so we also you know dedicated an addition to that visit too then there's another edition of our tunology this one talks about 60 unique policies of the then governor abdiel ajimobi within the six years in office so we were able to highlight those policies above his signature how they were I mean they are meant to help in the state and the people of the states hello sir this is also about him next I please now along the line you know we also thought that is
going to be reporting about we came up with the idea that if we actually want the public to enjoy us as much as they should we need to expand our Focus and our catchment area that time was Southwest but at the same time we thought that we should also you know involve other zones particularly stories that affect that directly have impact on the Southwest so before we get to this time already we had launched the online edition of Newspeak and the essence was you know a lot of things that we could
not cover in the magazine and you know because stories we want to report them as fresh as they come Fresh So we had I mean the online edition and we thought that this new I mean the new face of new speak should actually you know be more work where we investigate more of those Snippets that we may have reported online so that's why we came with this first edition of that new vision or the renewed vision so this story is about I mean this cover as you can see most beautiful marketing that was when
they were coming into office fresh so we highlighted what they need to do to make impact in their respective States there is another edition of that's a new vision activism in Nigeria dead or in limbo you know look at how activism of people of the past have helped you know to build and shape our country we are now wondering that a lot of things are happening and most our activists are just looking they are not doing as much so we took a look at activism in Nigeria and come up with what should b
e done to reactivate it oh this is a this Edition is dedicated to or by Rashid a bit tired already so that was it we did that special edition for him earlier in 2019. then this is an addition just on the last one I I have spoken about talking about Nigeria reporting Nigeria better and more effectively the structuring and willing Nation this one is about the fact that you know the way we do our things in Nigeria everybody likes to you know blame everybody for everything but are we as a nation the
question we are asking here is even as a people are we actually willing I mean to have the kind of restructuring that we are talking about so we are just here we discuss how difficult it has become for successive government to you know reform Nigeria because largely we are somehow unwilling to structure but this is a Edition so a spotlight on the University of Pennsylvania colleges under Professor or take value as we expect United was the best genius possibility in Nigeria and because it's in N
evada We believe it's also part of the things we have to celebrate about now in this state capital it is another Edition now uh as you can see this is the about our own security network in the Southwest you know before the creation of amateur we all know how have been terrorizing us and that was the reason why we brought our motel but again uh you can't fight criminals with their hands and that is the thoughts of that story there we are calling for more arms the person I'm a second person this i
s also a special edition of the head of Naples we need an addition uh this was to celebrate the crowning of the nail polished here we you know reported a lot about ibadan and the people of ibadan and the throne
