Hello people!

How was your weekend? I had this interview with Emmanuel Gabari over the weekend. Emmanuel is a KANO-based broadcaster cum musician.

He talked about his life, family, music career and so on. Enjoy

Can we meet you?

My name is Emmanuel Gabari.

Who is Emmanuel Gabari?

Emmanuel Gabari

Sometimes it is very difficult to describe who Emmanuel Gabari is, but let me try. He is a complete gentleman. A hardworking and multi-talented person. He is a broadcaster with Radio Kano FM, a musician, a reporter with Abuja based National Waves Magazine, a social worker, a motivational speaker, Master of Ceremony and lots more. He is from Oghara in Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State. He is married with three children, two boys and a girl.

Can you describe a day in your life?

Are u asking about the most memorable day of my life? Or just how each day starts for me?

I have had many most memorable days in my life. One was the day I got married. The second was the day my first child was born and another was when I got a double promotion in my office. I’ve had so many memorable days.

Also for how a normal working day starts for me: I will say I work round the clock. I wake up in the morning, say my prayers with my family, prepare for work and face a busy day ahead. It’s either getting stories, news items, interviewing people for the magazine I write for, or doing media consultancy for others, or getting materials like CDs and information for the radio programs I present and then do my little business alongside other activities of the day. I tell you, it’s always a hectic time for me. But thank God am moving on.
