Maverick pragmatic broadcaster, Olufemi Orunsola, is set to beam the searchlight of his weekly grassroots socio surveillance, knowledge-based multimedia programme in Yoruba language dubbed "E YIRI E WO!" on an indepth exploration of the uses, benefits, and possible dangers, as well as societal myths about a common ingredient found in virtually all homes - the salt.
A statement by the practical broadcast lecturer released on Sunday and sighted by OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reads, "Research has shown that there are well over 14,000 uses of the common salt yet many people are only aware and conscious about its use for cooking and seasoning and preservation. "
Orunsola further highlighted that, "Salt which plays a significant role in society truly deserves to be explored, discussed, rediscovered and better understood for mankind to reap its optimal benefits and avoid the dangers inherent in its misuse or over consumption."
The pioneer Programmes Head, MAPOLY Radio 99.7 FM Ojere, Abeokuta further emphasized that the knowledge based campus Radio show initiated by him aligns with the universally accepted truism that asking questions and inquisitiveness about things without assumptions, drive true functional knowledge.
The audience-commanding multimedia show, which airs every Monday between 11 am and 11.30 am on MAPOLY Radio 99.7 FM is also broadcast on OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA channels in video format on YouTube @opentv-naija, his personal TikTok handle @Weird Lecturer as well as on www.opentvnaija.com.
He therefore calls on the academic community of scholars across all disciplines to join the knowledge-based conversations targeted at putting issues related to salt and myths surrounding it in proper social, scientific, and cultural perspectives.
"E YIRI E WO!", a grassroots programme initiated by Olufemi Orunsola to deepen the knowledge-base of Nigerians about life and every day things has previously beamed the searchlight on common objects and essential items such as the broom, mirror, combs, palm oil, eggs, turning stick(omorogun), the coconut, a farm tool called hoe, among other things.
The programme can also be watched live on the official TikTok handle of the campus Radio station @ MAPOLY Radio 99.7 Abeokuta.
