Africa , a well-known Investigative Journalist, a blogger, an activist and

style with twitter hash tag #KemiTwitter10. Our correspondent interviewed her
through a text chat interview where she shared with us things about herself.
Q: What motivated you to be a
Journalist?
A: News and information. I was a top
student in current affairs in high school but
remember Journalism is my 3rd degree. Pharmacy and Public Relations came first
all First Class Degrees.
Q: Your best moment on twitter?
A: There
were many but the Best moment on Twitter I will choose today was when Ibe
Kachikwu Nigeria's Minister of State for Petroleum spoke to me about his poem
"I am Nigerian" and when he explained the "7 Big Wins"
initiative at NNPC to me. How Nigerians should come to work and not to
steal! Tweets attached.
Q: Your embarrassing moment on
twitter?
A: None
Q: What motivates you to do more
even when it seems people don’t believe in you?
A: I'm
not motivated to do more to impress people. If they don't believe in me, that's
their loss
Q: Why do you choose HNN and what
does it stands for?
A: HNN
stands for HipHossip News Net. HipHossip was Canada's leading music blog
2007-2012 endorsed by MTV, BET, and VH1 major international music TV
channels. When I returned to Nigeria I decided to broaden my newsbeat to world
and health news. I still do Music news at #hnnmusic on Instagram which music
lovers can follow.
Q: If you have an opportunity to
correct something in the past what will that be?
A: Deciding
to leave America to improve Nigeria. It was a big mistake. Nigeria destroys
careers
Q: What do you think of Nigerian
youth?
A: Nigerian
youth are #SBNI
my internet term for Smart but not Intelligent
Q: How do you think you can support
the coming generations in your chosen profession?

By having #HNNseminars online and in cities that will teach Journalism, Health
and Public Relations
