Mo Abudu, a Media Mogul Par Excellence

Entertainment is more appealing when it comes with educating and enlightening people. There are many individuals out there with dreams and goals to achieve. However, their vision seems so high for them to actualize. Perhaps, they had no financial wherewithal to pull through.

Goals are not set to be watched and assumed that one day; it will come to physical manifestation. Rather, hard work, tenacity, planning, consistency, persistence, courage, faith, and grace are needed to scale great heights. These attributes are not to be expressed in words, but in actions and character. Mo Abudu is a worthy mention for these attributes.

Moments with Mo, a quintessential TV show

One of the few television programs I looked forward to watching as a teenager was Moments with Mo. Anchored by Mosunmola Abudu, I got a refreshing view of a talk show. Its guests ranged from all works of life. The show was a dynamic exhibition of entertainment, education, style, and creativity.

These views which I held personally grew my admiration for the TV host, Mo Abudu. Abudu was a delight to watch as she was cool and quite thoughtful with the questions she asked her guests. It was easy to relate the message she wanted to get across. Her audience always felt her vibes. From a personal view, I compared Moments with Mo with Oprah Winfrey Show, because of its diversity.

It was no wonder to me when I heard other notable persons and media houses tag Mo Abudu as Nigeria’s Oprah Winfrey. Anyways, her antecedents have grown from being just Nigeria’s Opray to Africa’s Opray Winfrey. Furthermore, it is pertinent to note that Moments with Mo has had Presidents, Nobel laureates, including US presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton as guests on the show.

Ebony Life, the brainchild of Mo Abudu

Dedication, diligence, and consistency to a course can foster the ambition of any individual. Mo Abudu has carved a niche for herself with these qualities. More so, it seems like she is not in any competition with anyone. Rather, she is competing with herself to become better by the day.

Set up in 2006, Ebony Life TV is the brainchild of Mo Abudu. However, it streamed its first broadcast on Multichoice’s DSTV Channel 168 on July 1, 2014. It also has a good number of viewers on Startimes. EbonyLife TV presently airs across 49 countries and is among the top viewed channels on DSTV.

Not relenting with her goals, the media personality established EbonyLife Films in 2014. The first movie produced on her platform was Fifty.

The success of that movie propelled her to produce the highest-grossing movie of all time in the Nigerian film industry, The Wedding Party. Furthermore, EbonyLife TV went all out to produce the part two of The Wedding Party. Other notable movies it has produced include The Royal Hibiscus Hotel, Chief Daddy and Your Excellency.
