The multi-talented and stylishly eloquent broadcaster who is
also a host on the popular radio and television programs, 'O FA KIKI' on OGTV,
'ISIN AJUMOSE' on Family FM among others, Chief Michael Sunday Ogunsola
popularly known as Tantala is preparing to unveil his humanitarian Foundation.
Tantala who is also the program director on Family FM, Abeokuta
said he never thought of establishing a foundation not until two years ago when
he discovered that giving a helping hand is what could make people be on the
same level.
In November 2016, Chief Ogunsola started a program titled 'ISIN
AJUMOSE' every Sundays where he thought he could interact and have fun with his
lovers, but things changed on the long run, and the program changed its face to
an avenue of helping the needy in the society.
In November, 2018, the program will clock 2years. And he is
ready to give it a loud ovation to the world come Thursday 29th November, with
the launch of a new foundation, Ogunsola Sunday Tantala Foundation and also awards
presentation.
In this interview, the On-Air Personality disclosed that not
less than 50 widows will be empowered and also food stuffs would be given to
the needy. Excerpt:
LET'S MEET YOU
TANTALA: My name is Chief Michael Sunday Ogunsola, popularly called
Tantala. I'm a broadcaster of about two decades. I am also an entertainer, a
motivational speaker.
WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT
YOUR NEW PROJECT, A FOUNDATION?
TANTALA: Yes, thank you. You
see, I am not only launching the foundation alone, the three-in-one event is
going to be a big event. One of my radio programs titled "ISIN
ALAJUMOSE" on Family FM (88.5) every Sundays will be two years in
existence, this program is what initiated the foundation. I started the program
like a joke, where listeners would win gifts on the program. On one of the edition,
I think the third edition; a pregnant woman called on the program and narrated
her problems. She said, they had nothing to eat at home. I was touched by what
she said; I had to invite her and gave her some food stuffs and also some money.
Some people who listened to my program also called in to support
her with different gifts items. Meanwhile, during the program, another person
called and also sought for help, people turned up and gave their support too.
That is how the story began and my platform has become where people seek for help
and to God be the glory, wonderful listeners of my program have been of great
support to the yearning ones.
Besides the support I got from people; I spent more money from
my pocket too to keep the goo work going, and God blesses me beyond my
expectations since it started, and people’s contribution have been of great
help. This is why I thought within me that there is reward in helping the needy.
I also want to honour some people by presenting awards to those
who have been contributing to the program in helping people. I have registered
the foundation, 'Ogunsola Sunday Tantala Foundation' at Corporate Affairs
Commission, CAC and we have the certificate. We help the less privilege; those
who cannot afford to pay their children's school fees, people who are on the
sick bed among others. We want to empower widows and give them food stuffs.
WHEN AND WHERE IS THE
EVENT COMING UP?

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS DO

give it to someone, this is why I initiated raffle draw. Lots of gifts will also
be won through raffle draw; such as Plasma TVs, Standing Fans, Cash Prizes

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE

I can't count the numbers of those who have benefited from the program.
WHAT HAVE BEEN THE CHALLENGES
SO FAR

integrity.
