Today is the birthday of versatile and prolific newspaper editor, Udeme Inyang. Udeme Inyang is the publisher of high selling newspaper, NewsLink. Below is what E-101magazine wrote about him when he was featured as one of the hottest bachelors in AkwaIbomState by the magazine:
“This handsome dude will remain a lady’s man any time any day. Calm, cool, and with great swags, Udeme Samuel Inyang is a graduate of Physics from the University of Calabar. He is one of the best versatile journalists around. As a former sports writer of the then regional newspaper - The Union, this fair skinned dude rose to become the Editor of the tabloid.
After The Union had gone moribund, he was courted by Mr. Michael Bush who made him the Editor of his magazine, News d’Or. After a brief but fruitful stay at World Win Media, publishers of the magazine, he joined the award winning Community Pulse newspapers as the Editor-in-Chief in September 2009.
With this resume, you will agree that this Nsit Ibom born writer has paid his dues. Some time in 2010, he left Community Pulse newspaper to establish one of the highest selling newspapers of 2011 – Newslink where he doubles as the Publisher/Editor.
His credentials and looks make the 30 year old one of the most sought-after bachelors in the state. You may have watch out for Udeme this year as he may likely walk down the aisle if information emanating from some quarters close to him is anything to go by. Who will be that lucky lady that will lure UD away from bachelorhood? We just wait and see.”
