thought of having her personal website.
'A good friend of mine who is in social media advised me about 18
months ago to have my own (web) site as in his own words 'all media
personalities should have one'. But as I felt I was still very new to
the industry it just didn't feel like the right time',Toolz explains.
She said she forget about the whole idea until earlier in the year
when she travelled on holidays and paid a visit to BBC Radio 1Xtra
studios in the UK.
'I was having a discussion with one of their producers, and they asked
if I would like to be a guest on Tim Westwood's show – I jumped at the
opportunity. They have to get background info on all their guests
before final approval, and they asked for my website and bio, and of
course I didn't have one. I decided then and there to get the wheels
moving on my website', she says.
So what should fans expect from the website? Toolz says it isn't going
to be your formal profile-bio-photo portal as she's got great plans
for us!
'It initially was supposed to be an online home for my bio and bits
and pieces of work that I've done, but after consulting with my friend
once more, he convinced me to make the idea much bigger, and thus
'www.ToolzO.net' was born'.
She discloses that the site will focus heavily on music, feature
interviews, news articles and will also showcase work she has done
like 'The Juice' shows for Ndani TV, interviews she's had and much
more.
'I also plan to put new projects on www.ToolzO.net – there are several
TV ideas that I havethat have been 'under development' for an
annoyingly long period of time. Developing and airing TV projects can
be very hard to execute in Nigeria, but I believe there's always a way
around all hurdles. I feel the online platform is quite under-used in
Nigeria, and having my own website will allowme to essentially get the
content that I'm passionate about out there'.
