The Tragedy is not that we die , but what dies inside us while we live .
-Norman Cousin
A man’s worth is determined by , how he fulfils his dream .Mr. Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah is an extra ordinary character. Dogged, determined and daring , Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah has always known what he wanted and he achieved same , not with lousiness , but a dint of hardwork.
When Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah started Ireporter , it wss one criticism to another .His catchy and controversial headlines , made some people angry, but it drove traffic .When Ted Turner started Cable News Network (CNN), Americans mocked him by calling it “Chicken Noddle News”, today CNN is the world No. 1 News Network. When the Qatari News Network Aljazeera was set up , the hostile Western Media called it “Aljazero”, but today , Aljazera is giving CNN a good run for its money.
Today Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah has built Ireporter to become a national colossus .He is presently the Special Adviser Media to the Minister of Regional Integration. That is achieving the goal irrespective of the role .
As he Celebrates his birthday, we celebrate Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah for all he stands for and for all his doggednes and clarity of purpose.
