Here on an Exclusive interview with former CEO of purple creation who is currently the CEO and Founder of Ollie Creation and iModel Africa. Today she discuss her ideas on why she launched an online radio fm.
Well you need no introductions, but for our viewers out there, please do introduce yourself once more
My name is Joy Eneghalu. I am a serial entrepreneur. I currently own a modeling agency, lifestyle blog and an online radio.
Awesome, hope you know you are really an inspiration to a lot of people? Most especially the ladies?
I’m just learning about that now. Thanks.
You’re welcome, well now you do. Please tell us about your online radio?
It’s a business and lifestyle Radio. We get entrepreneurs who are doing well in their various fields to share their story and also give tips on how to thrive in that field. It holds an hour every week.

Sweet, that’s a very lovely idea, how did you come up with that?
Well, it has always been on my life goal plan. It just wasn’t radio. It was actually a TV program I planned years back. I learnt from one of my Mentors about an online radio and I felt it was the best time to kick it off. It has numerous challenges though but we are hoping to scale through.
That’s really good to know, but what are the challenges you face?
Well, a lot. But to mention a few. Getting people to use their data to listen is war. Even when they know it’s value pack, they somehow choose to stick with their data. I understand it’s because of data rate though. Another would be network. Network in Nigeria isn’t stable and fluctuates at will. So even when you want to listen, Network won’t let you. Like I said, it’s more but these ones are major.
Wow, welcome to Nigeria dear. Well I’m still very much impressed on what you are doing, it must have cost you a lot to keep it online right?
Thank you. It does cost a lot to maintain a radio online, at least to the standard you want it.
Is Nigeria economy in anyway affecting your business?
Basically, expensive data, running adverts and network is all that affects the business.
So what do you think the president should do to help businesses such as yours?
The President? Well, if he has the power to make Internet cheaper and stable, that will be appreciated. Supporting start ups too won’t be a bad idea at all.
What about availability of light?
How did I forget that? Light is super essential. As an online business, we keep charging devices and need light for a lot of test jobs, online meetings and do much more. Even fuel should not be denied either.
Indeed light is a necessity. If I can recall, you once run a model Agency, what happened to it?
Life happened to it. Lol. It didn’t survive because jobs weren’t coming to keep these models active and I didn’t have an efficient network as a student. It was a learning curve for me. But I am happy to tell you that soon I will be launching a new modeling agency. It will be here in Lagos and will cater for models all over. I want to work with lots of models in the east because I know their pain and if they are willing to work, I am willing to do so for them too. So if you are an aspiring smart model, be ready. I might be scouting in the next town close to you.
Aww, so sweet, makes me want to be a model as well , maybe you can start with me abeg.. Lolz?
LMAO
How do you plan to recruit these models?
Majorly by scouting. I won’t be open to just any kind of model. I need smart models that are ready to change the status quo. So asides your looks, we need to know your IQ level.
Let me guess, six packs and flat Tommy. no big belly right?
Way more than that.
Please throw more light on what we should be expecting
So, in the month of July/August, I will be in the east to scout for smart models who are ready to change their status quo. In as much as physique is important, I will be looking out for your readiness to learn and work. We are about to change the way things work. By his grace, we will be raising influential models who will stand as authorities in the modeling industry.
Also, I am currently doing a free consultation for models and you can book a session here.
During the session, I will give you practical solutions to the challenges you are facing as a model. I am all out to help you succeed only if you will let me. Book your convenient date and time because spaces are fast filling up! I look forward to reading your thoughts and an interesting session with you. PS: Don’t forget to tell your model friends about this. They will love you forever.
Well guys there you have it. Get the phone and email popping. Joy, any advice to people out there going through similar challenges as you are?
Never give up, rather see that struggle as a phase that will only pass. Do not underestimate the power of networking as an entrepreneur. To models, better days are here!
A very powerful advice indeed. Just before we leave you, you’re quite a pretty lady, and you know the saying that “behind every great woman, there’s a man” haha, so is there any man?
There is a man. His name is GOD. He is my everything.
Yes indeed, God is with everyone. And how are you sure God is a Man?. Once again are you in a relationship?
That’s highly personal. I’m happy and that’s what matters.
Let’s wait and see what Frienditegossip has to say about this… Thank you so much for your time
