That is me @Busi_Ngcebetsha. Iāve been a journalist for four solid years now.
If there is any other info, I need to add.
Sorry, I am having a problem uploading a pic. I will keep trying.
Hi @kochieng90
To upload you ciick on the upload icon, it is icon no 6 from the left when you click on reply. The sign with the arrow facing upward.
Good luck with that
Thanks for the tip but, I have tried even dragging the image like the hint says.
Uploads up to a certain percentage then it automatically cancels all over sudden.
Same problem occurs when I am trying to change my Profile pic
maybe it is a network issue, keeo trying anyway.
Try to resize the pic, to be a bit smaller
Good morning from Abuja Nigeria,
My name is Alu Azege. I am a broadcast journalist of 10years but 2years as a multimedia specialist. I also do development communications for different bodies.
It is good to see everyone on board and I looking forward to a robust meeting as it is the culture of barza radio!
I love the opportunity you always give us.
I come from Benue where we are christened THE FOOD BASKET OF THE NATION. I believe the media has a huge role to play for Agriculture in my state, my country, the continent as much as the world.
Did I add I am a journalist trainer? So my team learns as much as much as i learn from this fora, always.
Hello Alu

Well well Busi_Ngcebetsha and all,
Good afternoon from Voice of Kigezi in Kabale,Uganda.
Kabale is located in south western Uganda,East Africa and is a land of many hills.
Her people mostly engage in crop farming as economic activity.
They are famous for being hard workers and have tilled their hilly land for many generations.
At voice of Kigezi we broadcast Agribusiness programs tailored to benefit those hard working farmers.
The Programs have enjoyed support from Farm Radio International and its partner organisations for a while now.
Lets share more later in the discussions.

Hello Colleagues,
I am Excello Zidana working in the Department of Agriculture Extension Services (DAES) in the Ministry of Agriculture Irrigation and Water Development in Malawi. I am a Radio programs Officer responsible for Agriculture Radio programs. I produce and narrate radio programs. Programs which we produce include Ulimi Walero (Modern Farming) on Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) and Mlimi Wamakono (21st Century Farmer) featured on private station Zodiak Broadcasting Station (ZBS). Our target is the farming community especially smallholder farmers and all stakeholders in agriculture sector.
Our programs are all in vernacular (Chichewa) because almost all our listeners speak this language.
Currently the talk is on Fall Armyworm which has affected maize crop this year. I hope we will take time in this discussion to talk about this pest which is new to this region.
Thank you good people.
Excello
