Do2dtun accuses Soundcity Radio of owing staff eight months’ salaries, sparking social media outrage over unfair labour practices.

Popular On-Air Personality (OAP) Do2dtun has criticised Soundcity Radio for allegedly failing to pay its staff salaries for eight consecutive months.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Do2dtun described the station’s actions as “cruel and inhumane,” calling for better treatment of employees in the media industry.

In a series of tweets, Do2dtun expressed dismay at the station’s management practices, questioning their commitment to staff welfare.

“It’s not by force to open a radio station. Owing your staff for eight months is very cruel and inhumane. You don’t need a soothsayer to tell you this,” he wrote.

The OAP revealed the station’s name in another tweet, empathising with colleagues at Soundcity and questioning how they have managed to survive under such harsh conditions.

“My friends and colleagues at Soundcity, how do you guys cope? No salary for 8 months? Mehn, that’s crãzy!!!!”

The allegations have ignited widespread discussions on social media. Many users shared their thoughts, with some linking the salary delays to the departure of notable personalities like Moet Abebe and VJ Adams.

Social Media Reactions

• Miztope_tea: “No wonder Moet Abebe and VJ Adams left.”
• Tomide Akinnni Bosun: “The way those companies and stations are owing people in salaries these days is so alarming.”
• Whitney Tochi: “And you will see the owners spending money lavishly, this kind thing can pain oh.”
• Amanda Chisom: “No wonder it stopped working.”
• Gcw: “Only Do2dtun don see shege for Nigerians hand.”

The issue highlights a growing concern over unfair labour practices in the media industry, where employees often face delays in salary payments despite their contributions to organisational success.

Do2dtun, who has been vocal about industry challenges, also called on media organisations to prioritise employee welfare, stressing that operating a business should not come at the expense of workers’ livelihoods.

The accusations have yet to receive a public response from Soundcity Radio at the time of this report.
