Until she departed from her
original dream of becoming an air hostess, little Nene and journalism were
hardly friends. But the noble profession came beckoning after her participation
on a phone-in show on CRTV Bamenda revealed traits of journalism in her.
“Some CRTV Bamenda staff including Ephraim
Banda Ghogomu kept reminding me that my voice was meant for the art,” says the
now famous Jimla Nene Shadzeka, presenter of “Hello” on CRTV.
Nene, then a primary school pupil would
habitually use the home phone to connect on the Hill Top Station and take part
on the show. The journey to the studio went via the Department of Journalism
and Mass (JMC) of the University
of Buea and the Yaounde
Advanced School of Mass Communication (ASMAC). In 2003, the gate of the
National Station in Yaounde
was flung open to let her in.
“I started off with the news summary and
gradually got co-opted on “News and
Focus” and “Cameroon This Morning”,
call it CTM,” she explains.
