Boiling Point Arena, the popular monthly interview discourse on governance, is the rave of the moment following the inclusion of Women Radio 91.7FM among the league of radio stations joining to transmit live the programme and widening its audience base.
This is a direct fallout of the quality news content being regularly generated by the monthly current affairs programme and in particular the massive interest elicited by the forthcoming discourse focusing on erstwhile Military President, Gen Ibrahim Babangida and the conspiracies leading to the annulment of Nigeria’s freest election, June 12, 1993 polls.
Sunday, March 9, 2025 is the D-Day for the discourse which is featuring a retired Military General who was one of the dramatis personae in the whole saga, a Media Icon, Senator Babafemi Ojudu and Mr Jamiu Abiola, one of the children of the late Chief MKO Abiola.
Tomorrow’s edition which is the 29th episode, starts by 8pm over a two-hour duration via Zoom and to be broadcast live by WASH 94.9FM, Lagos, Sweet 107.1FM, Abeokuta, Roots 97.1FM, Abeokuta, Eri-Nbe 92.1FM, Shagamu and the latest being Women 91.7FM, Arepo.
The topic of discourse is: “June 12: The Babangida Apologia and the Opening of Old Wounds and What Consequences to Follow, if Any”.
The once-in-a-month current affairs programme with an incredibly large online followership, is hosted by a media professional and public relations strategist, Dr Ayo Arowojolu.
The discourses in the last three months have featured a One-on-One live Interview of former Nigeria’s President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who spoke on his assessment of today’s Nigeria, the Prof. Toyin Falola Interview on Africa’s Future as well as the Nigeria’s Economic Crises thrashed by Prof Farooq Kperogi and Mr Seun Onigbinde.
Women Radio 91.7 FM, owned by an accomplished business woman, Mrs Toun Okewale-Sonaiya, is Nigeria’s only radio station dedicated to women and their families, and also Africa’s first commercial radio station for women.
WFM is located along the Mowe/Arepo/Ibafo axis along the Lagos- Ibadan Expressway and has a huge audience base across many States in Nigeria.
The radio station is now the seventh so far to have found the Boiling Point Arena discourses worthy of being beamed live, thus widening the audience reach via the terrestrial frequencies across parts of Nigeria.
In the recent past, the Oodua 99.9FM, Abeokuta, Eagle 7 Radio 103.7FM, and the London-based Ben Television have also partnered with Boiling Point Arena.
