Media personality Berla Mundi has after five years since she exited the EIB-owned GHOne TV revealed the main reasons for her exit. She joined media general after leaving EIB where she said she felt she owed them her loyalty.
But after five years, she says she was pushed out by God. She noted that people made her uncomfortable and she felt it was people. However, after five years, she realized that it was God who pushed her out so she could take the next step in her career.
“I don’t regret it. I was pushed out by God. Sometimes you might think people are making you uncomfortable in the space you are in but it’s not the people, it’s God working in those people,” she stated.
According t Berla Mundi, “things took a turn” while she was at GHOne. She said people started “backbiting” and “there were a lot of accusations here and there. There were people who were treating me like I didn’t matter. And I just didn’t understand what it meant. It was just God making things uncomfortable for me.
She said she asked her manager to check with Media General’s TV3 if there was a vacancy there for her. To her surprise a place was reserved there for her.
“I just told my manager, Let’s see if there’s still space for me at TV3, and there was space for me. They reserved that space for me, and I was willing to leave because, at that time, I didn’t see myself growing at that point. I was so depressed.”
Despite her decision to join TV3 where she has called home for the past 5 years, she said her plans were to get an international brand like CNN or BBC when she leaves GHOne.
“TV3 was not on my radar at all because they were not doing well at that time. I thought that right after GHOne I am out of this country. I am going to CNN, BBC and everyone plants things in your head. So now I sit down and I ask myself if BBC asked me to come give world news will I know what it is,” she stated.
