God punish whoever appointed Kunle Junaid as the General Manager of the great Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS), Orita Bashorun, Ibadan.
Yes — God punish that stupidly brilliant individual who looked at the entire broadcasting landscape and decided that BCOS must not collapse, must not sink, must not wobble, but must rise again.
Who is that family-useless-to-a-fault genius that chose excellence over mediocrity?
Who is that “enemy of failure” who insisted that BCOS deserves rebirth?
Whoever appointed Kunle Junaid must be venerated, worshipped and adored, because knowingly or unknowingly, he has enacted a prophecy: “A society rises when excellence is rewarded, and collapses when loyalty is given to mediocrity.”
That is exactly what has happened here — excellence has finally been crowned.
For Kunle Junaid is not a man you appoint by mistake.
He is a deliberate choice.
He is an informed decision.
He is an investment in progress.
I have known that boy, that man, that institution called Kunle Junaid for many years.
Back when I served my second term as the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Oyo State Council, only a handful of journalists stood with me with unwavering loyalty.
Two names mattered: Kunle Junaid and Debo — that fine product of Ogbomoso now at the University of Ibadan.
Their constancy taught me that “Leadership is not about position, but about the fingerprints of integrity left on every decision.”
Kunle was that fingerprint — bold, clean, uncompromising.
Kunle Junaid knows the job.
He embodies the craft.
He understands broadcasting beyond the surface — he digs into its soul.
He is streetwise yet scholarly, local yet global, rooted yet cosmopolitan.
He is deep, intelligent, evergreen, cheerful, and profoundly grounded.
Kunle Junaid is not a money-chasing broadcaster.
He is not on the fast lane of noise, fame or flamboyance.
He is driven by purpose, not by pocket; by passion, not by pressure.
In the world of journalism where many run after power, he runs after truth.
He exemplifies that eternal wisdom: “Journalism is literature in a hurry, but great journalists never hurry the truth.”
Kunle never rushes truth.
He carries it gently, respectfully, professionally.
Today, I am dancing in Ekiti — dancing like a man who just received a divine telegram — because a man of grace has finally been elevated to a seat he has long deserved.
Whoever appointed Kunle Junaid should be “punished” with:
Punished with wisdom.
Punished with honour.
Punished with countless victories.
Punished with the applause of generations yet unborn.
For by choosing Kunle Junaid, that person has chosen progress for BCOS, dignity for journalism, and rebirth for Oyo State’s flagship media house.
