The Tiny Tyrant called Doja Allen

Me, I can’t even remember how I met her, but I also know she is very close to another tyrant – Azuka Ogujiuoba so it could have been from there

People have been worried about what could have gone wrong between this delightful lady and me

Since I posted her picture twice and alluded to the fact that I could be angry with her, people have been showing concern

My tall and big-headed brother Jide Benson sent a long message – Edgar, I have taken you to her City FM, and we have dealt with you professionally, so whatever the case may be, consider that

You know how I used to tear things when I am upset; that is exactly what my sister Latasha was afraid of when she reached out – Edgar, won’t you leave someone’s wife and Azuka’s bestie alone

What is even annoying me more is the fact that, unlike most people in her shoes, a lot of people are begging for her and not prodding me on

One elder Statesman who says he doesn’t know her but has heard of her even offered to host a peace meeting – Edgar, you know how caustic your pen can be. Please spare her

Now everybody is begging, but when she was annoying me, she didn’t know

Let me even tell you guys who this tyrant is o

She is the GMD of Cardinal Broadcasting Limited, the owner of City FM 105.1fm, and that is why, when she saw me at Dr Rueben Abati’s 60th, she didn’t greet me.

She just sat there and ordered Amala for her and her hubby and were eating and not minding that hunger was catching me o

Is she the first MD of a Radio station in the country?

Even if the Radio station is top ten and ranked no 8 out of 75 Radio stations in Lagos- and soooooo

Mbok, if you see how this whole thing is paining me ehn, you will just buy Panadol for me

So she graduated from the University of Ibadan and had a master’s degree in finance in one University in the UK and started a career in Investment management at ARM, a company that refused to employ me and failed me so many times at interviews; she now is coming to think she is better than me?

Didn’t she meet Chioma Okigbo at ARM? Didn’t Chioma make MD, and is Chioma putting finger on my eye

That is how she was head-hunted by PWC to go and head City FM that was struggling then

I heard that by the time she got there, they couldn’t meet financial obligations to their stakeholders, so she revamped the place by rebranding, and pushing and attracting people like Dr Abati and Jide Benson who brought in listenership

Today the Radio is booming and very liquid, which has now given her shareholders, who I hear are about 14 people, serious confidence in her

It is this confidence that is making her call me Joe like that girl that was calling our oga Tony

Luckily for her, she cannot call me Joe to my face cause unlike Tony, I will not warn her; I will give her what we used to call ‘western rolling’ in Shomolu

So yesterday, just as my headache and beefing with this lady was ebbing, I now heard that she has just opened another Radio station

Mbok. I want to die oo. Kai. Another Radio station?

The person that told me was so excited for her, and I was just saying hmmm, hmmm, hmm, with not only my stomach paining me but my head going into turbulence

Please, what can I do to stop this woman oo

The person that was giving me the gist continued – Edgar, the new station is called Area FM 93.5, and it will be an indigenous station covering the Lagos area very effectively

Kai, so the vision is to build a conglomerate of radio stations that would better cover the market and push the group higher up the market leadership ladder

She ended by saying – Edgar, I think you should call Doja and congratulate her

I said ok, vowing in my mind not to do such a thing

How can a young, beautiful, and elegant lady like this open not one but two Radio stations, and I am here doing WhatsApp chat, and you are here reading it

I will not greet her o, I will rather hug Evans the kidnapper than greeting this one

Is she the first? Didn’t Wole Soyinka open Radio Kudirat? Did I greet him, cos of new Radio Station – Area FM 93.5, I shd come and be greeting this Doja

Greet ko, greet ni

Aghh, she is calling me oo, aghhhh, why is she calling me na?

Should I pick?

God forbid – come and beat me if I pick..

Hello, Doja…. 😀
