The life of a camera man behind the scenes of a Nigerian television station,is greatly boring. We all
I grumbled into my office. Something I usually do to avoid prying eyes when I’m late. Atleast from my demeanor, they would tell that I had something to complain about to evade the stigmatization of being a late comer in TVCentral. I was 8minutes late that day, arriving at 7:08and meeting an office already brimming like they all slept there.
A peek into my small office upstairs and I saw the Head of operations leaning on my desk with Mrs Foluke, the program producer for the ‘Morning Thought’ show, waving a paper and telling him.
“…there is nothing wrong with the scripting, I did it myself, I don’t understand why Dan will say…”,
It was like they turned and saw me at the same instance, they both spoke at once.
“ohh, there he is, come here boy!”
“Camera man”, none of them knew my name nor understood that I preferred to be called a cinematographer but there was no time to correct that now, no one at TVCentral was free from Mrs Foluke’s fiery tongue and she didn’t damn care what she calls you especially when you’re late.
“You know you’re the camera man appointed to man the camera for my show and you’re late!”
“The show is scheduled for 8’oclock and you’re just dragging yourself in, by this time” She adjusted her spectacles(I never thought of them as glasses, never)
“I sent two control room operators to look for you, even asked the floor manager to call your line yet you…”
“I’m sorry ma” I quipped, never wise arguing with this woman.
She became more angry at my quick apology, she loved challange!
“Look here, if you’re not competent, know that I’m a perfectionist who will stop at nothing to…”
“Mrs Foluke! Let’s not waste this minute”, Head of operations interjected.
“You, oya, go to the third floor and meet Dan”
He told me.
I rushed, in a bid to impress them but I wasn’t the only one rushing. TVCentral rushes like the ocean. Many people coming and going. Clutching paper upon paper and moving from floor to floor!

By 7:50am, I had already set up my camera(the only thing that gives me joy about TVCentral).my Sony Betacam ENG is worldclass and manning it is pure undiluted pleasure. Mr Dan, the program director was telling me something about the upcoming show but I wasn’t keen to listen. I knew already that it wasn’t any special day. I actually detested the program and having to sit through it as my job would have me do.
The make up artist was retouching the make up of Bola Raheem, the anchor/show host after touching up a stiff looking man putting on a stiff- with- starch double breasted jacket, I just knew he was a guest, the other man who looked more like a village chief with his staff , deep impressed tribal marks and flowing agbada had declined make up. It was almost time as Mrs Foluke stood behind me, with one eye in her paper, the other waiting for my error.
THE MORNING THOUGHT SHOW
Something peculiar and dramatic happened on the show. Who would have thought? It left me guffawing some days and chuckling on others. I’m just a camera man and not a very good writer but I’ll try to narrate it as best as I can.

8 AM prompt, the show had begun. Mr Camera man’s eyes had began or is it begun to tingle with sleep, I don’t want to lose focus, thank God it’s not the TV of the 80s with those ‘burial’ cam coders, with my Sony and other peripheral cameras mounted all around,all I need do is set them up, search for the best viewing angles, monitor it from my system and make few adjustments in resolution and focus once in a while.
The anchor was smiling now, Bola Raheem, a woman you can never catch with a smile on her face, even on pay-day. Did she even smile in her wedding pictures? But now, she was smiling for a living in front of the cameras. I wanted to chuckle at the thought but I recalled that Mrs Vampire Foluke was beside me with a sterner unsmiling face ready to spill my camera-man blood.
DRAMA TIME: ACTION!!

On my left is Dr Ayegboro Aderigbigbe, a specialist in
Alternative medicine. He is the founder of
Dr Aye trado-medical clinic, the brain behind
Aye Gboro-Gboro herbal cure. A critically acclaimed herbal
medicine that cures gonorrhea, syphilis, pile, vaginal
discharge and even malaria. Forty years of practice.

DR AWA: Anyways, let’s all talk about it, since you decided to accord
him with the ‘doctor’ title, let’s start with the degenerative
nature of the country at large and medical practice. It
saddens one that anybody can just wake up, tag himself
a doctor, cut roots from his backyard, mix it with alcohol
and begin to peddle it as drugs, wasting lives.

(Dr Aye Gboro-Gboro was already shaking his staff in vexation)
Orthodox medicine is the only recognized form of medicine
organized, tested and trusted. We practitioners are the only
‘doctors’, as doctor alludes to a man well trained and
tutored in the profession. It is not a trade but a profession.
Such a man, only such a man must you entrust your life…

Look young man, what experience have you? What do you

You see, I always advice people; If you suspect any kind of
sickness, avoid self care or taking agbo and go to a proper
medical outfit for diagnosis. Stop self medication or root
intake, it will cause you more harm than good.

Immediately the focus of the camera has left the plastic smiling faces, they were frowns. Mrs Foluke rushed to the anchor and was almost
screaming “What is all this Bola! Is this how I scripted this show?”.
Bola was biting back her annoyance.
“ma’am, it’s not my fault! You didn’t counsel the guests before they came, I thought its an unscripted show today” she retorted.
“Gentlemen” she turned to them in her usual high and mighty manner.
“This is national TV and I believe you’re dignified persons…”
“I’m a dignified person” Dr Awa adjusted his tie
“But maybe you can explain to me why you set me up to be on the show with these undignified elements, I never bargained for this…”.
Dr Aye was now on his feet approaching the petite Dr Awa menacingly.
“You better watch your mouth young man, I’m not ya mate…”
“15 seconds to the end of this commercial” I shouted, thoroughly enjoying myself.
“Put in another one” She waved.

DR AWA: Well, admittedly, due to the poor state of the Nigerian
health system, doctors are not as accessible as they ought
to be and private practitioners have to cover for the
resources put in in founding healthcare centers and
day-to-day running. Notwithstanding it’s still not enough
excuse to incarcerate yourself in these cemetery-routed

The show had ended and I had my first cool day at work. I narrated this story to many people then. Surprisingly, people called our studio later on to ask for Dr Ayegboro’s numbers.
I only decided to share this ‘camera man’ behind the scenes experience for those who didn’t watch the show that day. The whole experience got me thinking as I never took sides that day. Dr Awa and Dr Gboro may never know that they can be both right at the same time.
I will probably write again, nothing interesting really happens behind the scenes of TVCentral.
