In a recent interview with Biola Bayo for the “TalktoB” podcast, Segun Arinze made this statement. He also mentioned that he was able to secure the voice-over job thanks to well-known broadcaster Soni Irabor.
He said:
“Soni Irabor walked in someday and he was looking for a voice-over artiste. There was nobody around that day then he heard me speak. Then he said ‘You can do the voice’ Really? I cannot, he said ‘Yes, you can and I will see what you do’. And I did the voice-over. He paid me N1000. That was 1987. N1000 for just doing (voice-over). I said this is big. Coloured TV was N500 at that time.”
