Ohh, what a pity! He was good when he lasted! Good as a presenter, good as a gentleman, good as a professional. I wish he had lived longer to impact more knowledge in that field of broadcasting. Adieu! |

Yinka Craig has been on NTA since 70s. The light complexioned handsome guy that was presenting morning ride. He was presenting with Sadique Daba and a lady like that. He was a perfect gentleman. |

Shame!! Yinka is one of the last proffessional sport TV journalist to come out of that damn country. His finest was his coverage of the Seoul '88 Olympics game. Yinka was to TV, what Ernest Okonkwo was to radio, when it comes to sports. May God remember him on the ressurection day!!!!!!!!!! Amen. |

| Re: Yinka Craig Is Dead! by Nobody: 5:37pm On Sep 23, 2008 |

| Re: Yinka Craig Is Dead! by goodass(m): 5:53pm On Sep 23, 2008 |
nuzo: 4 real, Nuzo. Ernest na baba wen it coms 2 sports esp futball commentaries (long dead in 9ja) n analyziz. d only person now close to Ernest is Larry Izamuje of Brilla. u cant but feel d vive, xcitemnt n passion. |
| Re: Yinka Craig Is Dead! by Eziachi: 5:54pm On Sep 23, 2008 |
nuzo: Mitchel Obi is better writing for Newspapers not for Television or radio. Yinka and Ernest Okonkwo was the best and still are, Mitchel Obi makes me cringe with his command of spoken English, in fact he sometimes masacres English and his dress sense doesn't help either, sometimes wearing sun shade in the studio. What was that all about? or his white suit with red blazer handkerchief? Joke apart, if you knew Yinka Craig and his work or Ernest Okonkwo, it's an insult to compare them with Mitchel Obi. No offence!!! |

| may God bring a replacement |
| Re: Yinka Craig Is Dead! by Nigeria10: 6:09pm On Sep 23, 2008 |
it is so bad, he is a great man. i would never forget him. he mean so manything to everybody. his smiles. may his soul rest in peace. |
| Re: Yinka Craig Is Dead! by Nobody: 6:11pm On Sep 23, 2008 |
Eziachi: I never compared Yinka to Mitchel, they are not even in the same line. I was only trying to know your thoughts on Mitchel's level when it comes to Ernest. |
| Re: Yinka Craig Is Dead! by Eziachi: 6:26pm On Sep 23, 2008 |
nuzo: Do you really know who Ernest Okonkwo is? I used Ernest to measure Yinka just to show you how good Yinka is. When it come to audio sports broadcasting, there is no one born living and dead that you can equate to Ernest Okonkwo. He was the finest, will always remain. Brilliant guys likes of Emeka Odikpo, Walter Oyatogun, Paul Ogazi all model their careers on Ernest, despite the fact that those guys are millions time better than Mitchel Obi. As any NigerianBiafran that knows his onions in sports, especially football. |
