Shout out Friday

Thank God it’s Friday on Top Morning with Tosyn Bucknor, the Area Mama herself. As usual, the show started on a musical note, with the Area Mama saying good morning with loads of songs. At exactly 6:30am, she said ‘good morning’ the ‘top morning’ way with her resounding A-r-e-a. Then of course, it was time to get the weather and traffic updates from different parts of the country.
People from areas like Agege, Ogba, Ishaga, Ikeja, Berger and Ilupeju called in early to say that they enjoyed a hitch-free traffic in those areas. Truly, we thank the Lord for their trips. People who really did not have it so good with the traffic this morning both called and sent in texts to express how not-so-good they’re having it with the traffic on their end. Such people include: the prestigious people from Ikorodu, the royal people from V.I., the esteemed people from Shasha, Dopemu and of course the illustrious people from Ojo Baracks. We hope the traffic mania takes it easy on these people this weekend. The weather was reported to have been good in many areas but it seemed that the people who did not have it so good on their end were actually cool with it.
At 8am, it was time to step into the Yarn-Free Zone. This is the time when no one; including Double 09 herself; doesn’t get to say anything. The musicians just get to do their thing. The first musician to enter the zone today sang Osondi Owendi, before Banky W took over with Strong Thing.
There was more music until it was 9:00 am, time for Top 9 Moments with Aramide. Unfortunately, Aramide’s voice wasn’t so good this morning so Tosyn saved the day and brought the news to us. In the news today was a story about Debbie Rowe, M.J’s ex-wife. She sued one Miss White on Thursday at the Los Angeles Court for defamation and invasion of privacy. There was still more news about M.J. this time, it was about the advert he did for Pepsi in 1984 in which he incurred some injuries from fire burns. The P.R.O. of the Pepsi Corporation responded well to this upheaval. The bit of information that got people texting was the one that involved Christian Ronaldo’s comment about Michael Owen inheriting the Man-U No 7 jersey from him. One would wonder if indeed Ronaldo was really beefing or just bluffing.
The tradition for Fridays on Top Morning is to let people give a shout-out to their loved and their unloved ones. So today, Tosyn set the ball rolling with the lines open for people to call and send text to give shout-outs to the people that mean something and everything to them. People also shared the plans they have for the weekend today.
At a few minutes to 11, Tosyn signed out and wished everyone a blissful weekend with an original Naija song.
