I Have Been Into Alaga Business For 30 Years -MADAM SOKOYOKOTO





Everyone calls her Sokoyokoto. It is her alias and it has become her everyday name. That is also the name of her TV program through which many got to know her.
Her real name is Foluso Ogunjimi. She is a broadcaster. She is a Marriage Counsellor and Presenter, Sokoyokotoprogram. Right now she is the hottest Alaga in Nigeria today.
She is highly rated. She is the most sought after Alaga. She runs a school calked Alarede School of Engagement. It is a school of professional engagement anchors (Alaga lduro &Alaga Ijoko). 

She just concluded a 3-day training at her school.
How did she get into the Alaga Business? How did it all start for her?

City People Online Fashion and Beauty Magazine asked her a few days ago and she revealed a lot.
I read Yoruba @University of Ife with my Thesis on Ekun Iyawo which was of no importance to me until my 12th year as a Contract staff at Lagos Television


For the 12 years, I wasn't entitled to maternity leave, annual leave or any entitlement. Then, a freelance presenter called me and said "You're young and talented, turn it to profit, give this ise alaga a try"

I went out with her and realised that what I wrote in my Thesis is far more detailed and useful, I can do it
The 3rd time of going out with her was divine.  The groom's alaga didn't show up She just told me "take it up"

After that performance, people kept asking for my card........
She has been doing this for how long we asked.
Who taught her the business? It will be 30yrs by November.
I didn't have any particular training,  I can say  I learned on the job
What services does she offer? How about her training  school called Alarede School of Engagement?
