Before her exit from TVC to Channels TV, Mrs Samuel-Wemimo was the host of Fireworks, which was started at the station by Mr Ugochukwu Emezue, when he joined TVC from STV before leaving to take up a political appointment in Abia State.

Mrs Samuel-Wemimo was born in 1982 in Lagos and attended St Mary’s Private School, Lagos for her primary education before proceeding to Abeokuta Girls Grammar School, Ogun State for her secondary education and back to Lagos for her tertiary education at the Lagos State University (LASU), where she graduated with a degree in History and International Studies in 2004.
