Komla and I both laughed at the question before he responded, \u201che\u2019s on loan\u201d just as Chelsea would regularly loan out its players.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we all laughed it off. What had happened at the time was that I had quit TV3 Network Limited to join Multimedia Ghana Limited. But as fate would go to confirm Komla\u2019s proclamation, I was back presenting the news at TV3 in a few years while keeping my fulltime role at Joy FM.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Bobby_Laryea2.jpg\" alt=\"Israel Laryea is away \u201con loan\u201d at Influencer Africa\" class=\"wp-image-10032285467 lazy\"  data- title=\"Israel Laryea is away \u201con loan\u201d at Influencer Africa\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t common at the time, but somehow the two media houses didn\u2019t have a problem sharing a news anchor. That\u2019s how I ended up straddling the airwaves of the two most prominent private media establishments in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>In the past year, I have been asked countless times whether I\u2019ve quit MGL and though I\u2019ve answered on several occasions and even put up a post on my social media handles, the questions haven\u2019t stopped. Hardly a post goes by without the question, \u201chave you left Multimedia\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go back to the title for the answer which is, \u201cI\u2019m away on loan at Influencer Africa\u201d, the Ghana-based Influencer Marketing agency creating magic for brands in West Africa and beyond. Yup! I answered it like Komla would.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Bobby41.jpg\" alt=\"Israel Laryea is away \u201con loan\u201d at Influencer Africa\" class=\"wp-image-10032285468 lazy\"  data- title=\"Israel Laryea is away \u201con loan\u201d at Influencer Africa\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Many of you may not be aware, but it\u2019s been a year since I joined Influencer Africa as Executive Head. A year of interesting accomplishments including Travel X, an influencer marketing campaign that took six social media icons, namely DanceGod Lloyd, Portia Wekia, Ama Governor, Nana Tea and others on a road trip to Rock City in April, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>A TV series produced from the Camp Chow campaign should be coming to Joy Prime very soon even as we prepare to bring you another Travel X and Camp Chow 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>The past year at Influencer Africa has been an interesting adventure which has paid off as I\u2019ve learnt new things and added to my skills set. Within the same period, I\u2019ve taken to the skies over Kwahu in my first paragliding flight while also traveling to Japan to experience firsthand the technology used to produce nuclear energy in actual reactors, both as an influencer and a trainer of journalists.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Bobby-Laryea11.jpg\" alt=\"Israel Laryea is away \u201con loan\u201d at Influencer Africa\" class=\"wp-image-10032285465 lazy\"  data- title=\"Israel Laryea is away \u201con loan\u201d at Influencer Africa\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>So when am I returning to TV?<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of plans, but most immediately, you may want to watch out for my cameo on the Camp Chow series which should be on Joy Prime soon.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly though, you all can rest assured that I haven\u2019t ditched journalism for the corporate world. I have way too much broadcasting fire in me to quit. Indeed, I occasionally chime in when editorial decisions have to be made at JoyNews.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just away on loan at Influencer Africa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many years ago, while getting ready to present one of the news bulletins on Joy FM\u2019s Super Morning Show, a listener called into the show and asked the host at the time, the late Komla Dumor if I had been poached from TV3, where I used to work as a news presenter.
