MY SATIRICAL POEM AIRED ON BBC RADIO TO MARK THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RACE ELECTION ACT
This year marks The 50th celebration of the Race relations act.
The act was drafted in direct response to the hostility and discrimination shown to Black and asian immigrants who were faced with all kinds of prejudices with regards to work, housing and equal opportunities.
The successful boycott of a bus company in Bristol led to the emergence of The Race relations act in 1965 which then became a turning point for change.
The Activist, Paul Stephenson played a very major role at the time.
This week, I was approached by BBC RADIO to compose a poem to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Race relations act.

My new satire called “SECRETS IN THE WIND” was read on BBC RADIO BERKSHIRE this morning
HAPPY READING
THE SECRETS IN THE WIND (A SOCIAL SATIRE)
Tonight we celebrate the sequel of a tense thriller,
SAME STORY
SAME SOUNDTRACK
NEW FILMSTARS
And the secrets of a new agenda are gently printed in the wind,
Sometimes to small for the eyes to see
Tonight we celebrate,
A tragic collection of broken promises,
1000 stories of untold gunshots,
The cold drama from an elusive script, governed by invisible laws
Tonight we celebrate,
5 decades of “uncommon wealth”
The tragedy and comedy of double and single standards
A warm evening in Bristol
A journey into the palace of truth
The vision of Paul Stephensons
Or a chance for you and I to dance to polluted jazz from polite strangers
Or to revive the passion from the talking drum

MY INTERVIEW WITH MP ALOK SHARMA, THE MP FOR READING WEST AND THE SPONSOR FOR THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH CELEBRATIONS THAT I ORGANISE AT THE UK HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT (I ALSO PRESENTED MP SHAMRA WITH AN AWARD ON THE DAY)
On Friday the 10th of April , I interviewed Alok Sharma in his Reading Office for the 2ndtime.
Mr Simba of SMP also offered support on the day and filmed the interview.
Alok went into detail to and spoke about some of the campaigns he intended to implement if he was re-elected. He also spoke about his tenure in the last 5 years, which is undoubtfully a testimony of success especially for the local residents of Reading who will be more than eager to vote Alok Sharma for a second term
I presented Alok Sharma with A Special Outstanding Achievement award on behalf of my brand for the interest and support he had offered African Communities in Reading in the last 5 years.

The first time I ever heard him speak was also a moment I will never forget, he was addressing a group of African Entrepreneurs and he reminded them, that part of his role as MP for Reading West was to support and nurture community ideas and initiatives, he also went on to say that if anyone had any ideas to discuss with him, they should not think twice about approaching it.
After that speech, I walked up to him in Parliament as he was about to leave the room, our initial conversation was the start of great partnership .
MP Alok Sharma was the first MP I ever got to interview on The International Radio Talk Show I produced, My Sister and Husband were visiting from The States at the time and also met him at our Studio in Reading,
I will never forget her first words when she met him “He is such a gentleman, He speaks with passion, You can tell that he really cares about local people”
In 2013 , for the very first time, I organised The Black History Month Celebrations at The UK House of Parliament. A platform was created for 10 African Achievers, Entrepreneurs to speak on the day and four performing artists.
Among the Special Guests on the day was MP Helen Grant- The Minister for Justice and Women Equalities
In 2014, I was also given the go ahead to organise The Black History Month Celebrations at The UK House of Parliament again, A platform was created for 8 African Achievers, Entrepreneurs to speak on the day and two performing artists.
The Special guest on the day was Mr Kola Karim- CEO of Shoreline Oil Nigeria- who flew in from Nigeria specifically for the event.
Both Black History Month Celebrations I organised at The UK House of Parliament were sponsored by MP Alok Sharma.
In 2015, I also organised THE AFRICA4U ONLINE AWARDS FOR AFRICANS IN EUROPE

I WAS RADIO PRESENTER & RADIO PRODUCER FOR AFRICA4U INTERNATIONAL TALK SHOW AT READING4U COMMUNITY RADIO STATION IN BERKSHIRE UK FROM MAY 2011 UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2013
Tony Tokunbo Eteka Fernandez has producing and presenting radio shows for new audiences worldwide. He has a degree in English and a lot of experience in event organising, youth empowerment, community cohesion and inspirational talks . He is also a Published Writer, Mentor and Public speaker and has written and published three books.
Tony has always had an interest in Radio. He has appeared as a guest on BBC Radio on many occasions including being a guest on The Anne Diamond Show
Other Radio shows he has appeared on include Smooth FM Lagos with Radio Host- Derrick Kirk Anthony, Top FM Lagos with Ras Rah, African Heritage Radio in Germany, WBOG Jazz, New Jersey, USA and Radio stations in many other countries
In a previous trip to Lagos Nigeria, Tony organised pre-recorded interview sessions with 23 Nigerian Artists/Role Models, some of the artists included Jesse Jagz of Chocolate City, Ade Bantu, DJ Gosporella, Psalm Ebube and Infinity Gospel Group
Tony has also interviewed Black Role Models and celebrities, and well over 130 guests in recent years
He has also appeared on a guest on SKY TV Channels on several occasions
In recent years, Tony has been The Radio Presenter and Producer for AFRICA4U RADIO INTERNATIONAL TALK SHOW- The Radio Show for Africans around the World and interviewed over 130 Guests in less than two years. The Show attracted listeners in 9 Countries- The UK, Spain, Germany, The States, Canada, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and Holland. The Show attracted various communities around the world from grass root level and it became mandatory for me to initiate and create more platforms for people who did not have a platform to express their voice, hence 75 percent of the music I aired on my show was from upcoming African artists- some of whom i now mentor and manage.

AFRICA4U WAS BROADCASTED LIVE ON READING4U COMMUNITY RADIO STATION, READING, BERKSHIRE

WHAT SOME PREVIOUS GUESTS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE SHOW
Being a guest on Africa4U was a most enjoyable experience because Tony Fernandez is so good at making guests feel relaxed. I was able to be spontaneous, perform live in the studio and also learn from the equisite range of top tunes that Tony spun in his role as the DJ. Big up for Africa4U

Mr James Mommoh- President of The Legloma Association of Reading (For Sierra Leonians)
My experience of being a guest was very positive. I found the combination of music and conversation interesting and Tony made an effort to put me at ease. I can be quiet so its nice to have stimulating questions and topics of interest to respond to. I also found the directions of how to get to the studio very useful.
