Greetings to all workers of Obinwannem, I applaud everyone’s effort so far, you have all done well. I want you to know that the primary aim of Obinwannem, is to bring back our culture and traditions, which is why our people are suffering. To fooster stability and developmental growth in our land.
It is petinet to note that we are moving to a very crucial part of this media, which requires all of us to be diligent and steadfast in carrying out our duties.
Intrestingly, Obinwannem Media Company, will supercede BBC, Aljazerra, CNN, Channels, because our focus would be mostly from our fatherland, what is happening in the five state of Southeast, what is happening to Ndigbo internationally and globally.
We can only achieve these great height, from this next step we are about to take, which requires all hands must be on deck.
The reason why we are here should not be, because of the money, but for what the Obinwannem stand for. Using all our resources, in terms of skills, talents, time and effort, to see that our land becomes a better place.
Which is why, i am soliciting, that everyone here, should be selfless, and determined to make these dream a reality, which will of course benefit all of us at the end.
