Many years ago,
they held sway as newscasters in the stable of the Nigerian Television
Authority. They were not only the cynosure of all eyes within and
outside of the premises of the television house; they held people in awe
with their sense of style, charm and manner of news presentation.
Though these ladies, Sienne AllWell-Brown, Ronke
Ayuba and Ruth Benamaisia-Opia, are retired from the tube, they remain
glamour gals in the society.
Sienne, who unarguably led the pack of these screen
goddesses, has an impeccable dress sense and aura. Many years after she
bid goodbye to the cameras, she is still being idolised. A lawyer by
training, she immediately set up a law firm soon after her exit from the
screen- Allwell-Brown & Co. But it didn’t take long before she was
appointed the General Manager/CEO, Rivers State Television. After a
while, she eventually took up her current job as the General Manager,
External Relations at the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited.
Shortly after her exit from NTA, Ruth took up a
political appointment as the Commissioner for Information and Culture,
Bayelsa State. The appointment was short-lived. The dreadlock wearing
ace broadcaster who is married to a former chairman, OMPADEC, Professor
Eric Opia, has since joined the Brass LNG as the community relations
manager. Recently, she was spotted at a wedding in Lagos.
For Ronke, a ravishing beauty, there is life after
NTA. Married to Senator Tanko Ayuba, a retired major-general, she was
one of the tube gals you just could not ignore on account of her charm
and fluent news delivery. Just some months ago, she lost her mother,
Maria Dalley. This took her away from the social scene for a while but
the astute businesswoman is back.
