Check Out Oasis Connect
* Can we meet you?
I am Oluwaseun Bamidele, a B.A Holder in Mass Communication from Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo state. I am a Writer, Blogger, Journalist, Internet Marketer, Speaker and a Music Lover. I also am the Manager of Oasis Media, a media firm that incorporates www.oasisconnect.com.ng and Oasis TV.
* For you, is Blogging something you just know how to do naturally or you learnt and developed it?
(Smile) Actually, blogging is something I have always had passion right from my undergraduate days. The vision came in 2015 during my SIWES days to own and run a blog, not just a blog but one that would as well generate funds. I learnt 20% of blogging and I taught myself the rest 80% through commitment. It is not something that can be learnt and known in a day, blogging is a wide concept and it takes time to understand the indepth part of it. Till today, I am still learning.
* How did you start as a blogger?
I started blogging in 2013, but lack of indepth knowledge back then made me opt out. However, I picked it up again in April 2016, ran it for two months, the website crashed. I took it up again and since then we have become deeply rooted.
* What is blogging all about?
Blogging can be seen as a form of social networking service. Indeed, bloggers do not only produce content to post on their blogs, but also often build social relations with their readers and other bloggers. Blogging is a business and those involved are called business owners. Blogging is the many skills that one needs to run and control a blog. Equipping web page with tools to make the process of writing, posting, linking, and sharing content easier on the internet.
Blogging is an act of your expressing your thoughts and voice through writing or through the use of podcast. Any successful blogger to be must however see commitment, patience and diligence as the steps to being successful as a blogger.
* We have heard about Oasis Tv and Oasis Media with you as the Manager also, how are these connected to Oasis Connect,are they subsidiaries or ...?
This is a question that I have answered countless times from media personalities.
Oasis media is the mother body to oasis connect and oasis TV. It is like saying Punch Newspaper firm and www.punhng.com
Oasis media was founded on December 20, 2013 while oasis connect came up in 2016 as a subsidiary to generate more fund for the media group and to more social media audience. The social media has been seen as a very important pillar for any organization, hence the need to establish oasis connect came up and we've been able to use the platform to train over 30 persons. Oasis TV on the other hand is an online mobile television that is still under construction, of which the major challenge we have is funding. It is another platform that has to do with vlog, photography, red carpet and event coverage and many more. However, we have a properly analysed constitution that explains the roles of the arms.
* As a Manager, What would you expect from your members now and in the nearest future?
As the Manager of Oasis Media, of which there's a board of editors that make decisions on every activity in the media group, what myself and the board expect from the members is diligence and commitment. No man or organization can become great without selfless diligence. We are where we are today because of God and the efforts of past members of the organization.
* What else do you do apart from blogging?
Apart from blogging, I write articles, stories, I give talks and speeches (both motivational and educational), I design blogs, I do graphics, I promote songs, businesses (basically Internet marketing).
* What perception about blogging do want to change in this modern day society that we live in?
The perception I wish to change in this modern world is the one that says "bloggers are liars and rumor mongers". Truth be told, we have some bloggers that just dived into the job without proper orientation, hence they spoil the image of the job. Nevertheless, bloggers are image promoters, society developers and information disseminator.
* What is your advice for fellow bloggers?
My advice for fellow bloggers is this:
Don't rush! Be patient. Don't rush to make money from blogging. Blogging requires passion and commitment. If you want to walk miles in the blogging business, then be selfless in your services. Till now, I'm still learning and putting in more effort.
* And yes, it is of public knowledge that you design blogs for "would be bloggers", how easy and profitable is that and can you mention some existing blogs you have designed?
Yes, like I said earlier, blogging alone won't take you anywhere, you need to add more basic skills to the one you have already. I build, design and fix domain for "would be bloggers". From 2017 till date, I have designed about 50 different blogs, of which many of them are still in existence. It is easy and profitable but I minimise my profit to suit the pocket of my clients.
Some sites I have built include:
Dammyoluboyo.com
Empiremedia.com.ng
Trendingist.com
Palitomedia.com.ng
Oasisconnect.com.ng
Streetlyte.com.ng
Mpirenetworks.org.ng
aaualss.com.ng

Kingdomspot.com.ng
Olagists.com.ng
Selfmadeajebutter.com
Realwithkb.com.ng
Succeednetwork.org.ng
Talk2ebijanded.com
Transforminghearts.com
And a host of many others.
* Where do you see yourself in the next five to ten years?
In the next 5-10, years, I see myself running oasis media as one of the leading media firms across countries. It's a dream, we are working towards it and we will surely get there by God's grace.
