I remember this man in those days, during my secondary school days, as a newscaster i will always wait to learn new phrase from him inorder to use it at the assembly and then all teachers including my principal are always amazed how i use them. #CyrilStober pic.twitter.com/xXRJUXmMjq— Vicafox1 (@nonyevivian6) April 21, 2019
When I saw Cyril Stober trending my heart did a lurch but thankfully it's only about him retiring (again).I tried to reach his level of diction, flair and panache but to no avail. What a Legend in Nigerian Broadcasting!— Frank Edoho (@frankedoho) April 21, 2019
While we continue to congratulate and celebrate Stober on his retirement, let's also remind you that the legendary broadcaster tied the know with another veteran broadcaster, Elizabeth Banu in January 2018.
The couple had their traditional wedding at Banu’s hometown in Garkida, Adamawa State, in accordance with the wedding tradition that states that the groom would need to go to the bride’s father’s home to ask for her hand in marriage.
