African History
written by Celine Akigwe , July 03, 2008
African History has been rewritten since the 1950s. Any Black medium must spread the knowledge among our fellow Africans. We are so ignorant in terms of where we came from, what it is to be African and the Heritage our forefathers left for us to discover. A man with no history is nobody... I can provide information with evidence to back it up so let me know if you're interested in expanding the topics on your show to inlcude African History.

Ways to improve listenership
written by Tunde Akinlade , July 03, 2008
I will ike the producers to look at the possibility of a repeat timing for the programme. Most people seem to wake up late and hence almost always miss the good part of the show. For a full and better participation, a scheduled repeat arrangement would let them catch up in prepartion for the following week.
Cheers
