I must have met Nyaknnoabasi around 1982 and was immediately struck by his love for everything in print!

When I chose Mass Communications over Medicine, it was because I had been so impacted by the Nigerian Chronicle published by the Cross River State Newspaper Corporation, Calabar, that hanging a stethoscope around my neck lost its appeal.
