The making of a story is a blend of many ingredients — planning, sourcing, accreditation, interviews, scripting, editing. The end product is the most pleasing to see, and what is shown, not the workings. These are some of the parts of the making of a story you don’t get to see.

1./ Ibadan peoples' love for AgbaOye Sen. Rashidi Ladoja is quite intense, steeped in the broader Yoruba peoples' love for the valiant fighter, and specifically, his personification of the Ibadan Warrior. But the story appears fluid, beginning with Baba Yunusa Ladoja, his father.
