I am Tope Ajisafe. I manage a music school with a home studio for practical classes with my students. I had little challenge and frustrating moments with the quality of my vocal output...Guess the reason?...The small dynamic microphone I was using then was 'hell on earth'... I went to a friend of mine who has a standard studio...I saw three condenser mics in his vocal booth. I approached him to help me with one, even if it means paying him instalmentally.

I placed order for it to be shipped from China...for less than #11,000. And fortunately, I got the strong condenser mic delivered to me right in my house within

Hatred doesn't die!

Never meet my gaze with defiance
Flinch from me and incur an inevitable derision
Genuflect to me and get stucked with contempt
Greet me often, expect less response
Get more response from me,  have a quick turn and behold a faint sneer of satisfaction across my
