OMIGHT ADEBAYO

OMIGHT ADEBAYO is a serious, dapper, dignified young Nigerian. He is the man behind the blog, Latest Updates. He comes across as a perfect gentleman, and something of a role model for youth. He is currently working on “a novel for youths”    

Question: How do you feel as a very young man, having your own impressive, influential blog?   

OMIGHT: It is a dream come true, and I am very proud of it. I try to be professional and serious, post interesting stuff, and accept verifiable submissions from other sources.    

Do you think you should cater essentially for the youth? 

Because I am young, many would feel like that, and maybe rather subconsciously I do so a lot...my aim though, is to make the blog mainstream and of interest to most.  

You focus on Nigerian news, updates, sports, celebrities and the like. And I see that sometimes you write your own stories yourself...

Omight: Yes I try to do that, and garner more experience in the process. I can meet a celebrity myself - go to an occasion, and write about it myself.   

So the blog is for good?         

You mean for positive purposes? Yes I do like to write positive things, not run down people or indulge in unnecessary gossip. I think that would be petty.            

Going through your blog, it's clear that you are a creative, artistic person yourself...the clever use of photos, colours, the general design, etc...              

Omight: I am a creative person, I can design and arrange material properly. The good thing is that I am still young, and can only get better and better!!    

Are you already getting sponsors?   

Omight: That would be welcome, and I am looking into that. It would be a boost and encourage one to get better and better. But for now the blog is mainly about passion.            

Any advice for the youth?

Omight: We all know these are hard times, but youth must be focused and not resort to crime and other bad things. Hard work will always be fruitful. If I have a job, I am the type who will report early in the morning there and leave late in the evening... I love research, I love reading, getting things done. I am still working on my novel; I wanna get it right eh....

Well, good luck with your blog then.

Omight: Thanks so much, brother
