Viral post sparks outrage
In a post that quickly went viral, Do2dtun took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday to express his frustrations.

The OAP, who is also a prominent host on Cool FM, shared a series of tweets highlighting the situation.

His posts have since sparked conversations on social media, drawing attention to the issue of unpaid salaries in the media industry.

Question of coping
In his initial post, Do2dtun questioned how his colleagues at Soundcity managed despite the lack of pay. His tone was disbelief and concern, as he tried to understand how anyone could continue working in such conditions.

He wrote, “My friends and colleagues at Soundcity, how do you guys cope? No salary for 8 months? Mehn, that is crazy.”

A cruel reality
The OAP emphasized that it is not mandatory for any company, including radio stations, to operate if they cannot afford to pay their staff.

He went on to criticize Soundcity’s management for what he described as a cruel and inhumane treatment of its employees. “It’s not by force to open a radio station. Owing your staff for 8 months is very cruel and inhumane. You don’t need a soothsayer to tell you this,” he added.

Soundcity under scrutiny
Soundcity, a well-known music channel in Nigeria, has long been a key player in the country’s entertainment industry.

However, the recent controversy surrounding its failure to pay employees has raised serious concerns.

Many are now questioning the station’s financial stability and how it has managed to operate for so long without compensating its workers.

Broader issue
While it is not unusual for businesses to face financial difficulties, Do2dtun’s comments have highlighted the harsh reality faced by many media professionals.

Unpaid salaries are an issue that affects not only those in the entertainment industry but also workers in various sectors across the country.

The situation has sparked debates on the challenges of working in an industry where job security and financial stability are often uncertain.

Soundcity’s tarnished reputation
In the past, Soundcity has been known for its high-profile events, music broadcasts, and collaborations with both local and international artists.

However, the recent allegations of unpaid salaries have put a dent in the station’s reputation. Many fans and followers of the station have expressed their disappointment, with some even questioning whether the management is truly committed to supporting its staff.

Support from colleagues and media professionals
Do2dtun, known for his outspoken nature, has never been one to shy away from addressing important issues.

His comments about Soundcity’s handling of its staff pay have been met with support from some quarters, especially among other media professionals who have faced similar struggles.

Some have even taken to social media to share their own experiences with unpaid salaries in the industry.

Unpaid salaries: A wider problem
The lack of payment for eight months is a serious issue that highlights the broader challenges within the Nigerian media industry.

It raises questions about how radio stations, music channels, and other entertainment platforms are managed.

The incident also shines a light on the broader problem of unpaid labor in the country, which has become an all-too-familiar issue for workers in various fields.

Do2dtun’s call for accountability
In his posts, Do2dtun did not hold back from expressing his anger at the situation. He called for more accountability from the management of Soundcity, urging them to address the concerns of their employees.

He stressed that while running a radio station or music channel may be a business venture, it should never come at the expense of the well-being of the staff.

According to Do2dtun, businesses should prioritize fair compensation for their workers if they want to maintain a positive reputation and continue operating effectively.

The precarious nature of media jobs
This ongoing controversy has brought attention to the precarious nature of jobs in the media and entertainment industries.

Many workers are often left without job security or fair wages, with companies prioritizing profits over the welfare of their staff.

As a result, employees are forced to continue working under difficult conditions, leading to frustration and resentment.

A wider call for change
Do2dtun’s bold stance on the issue has resonated with many people, particularly those who have experienced similar challenges in their workplaces.

It serves as a reminder that fair treatment and payment for labour should always be a priority in any business, especially in the entertainment industry, where workers often face high demands and low job security.

Uncertainty surrounding soundcity’s response
The controversy surrounding Soundcity’s unpaid salaries is far from over. As the story continues to unfold, many are hoping for a resolution that addresses the concerns of the affected employees.

Whether or not the management of Soundcity will respond to these allegations remains to be seen. However, the situation has undoubtedly sparked important conversations about the treatment of workers in the media industry, and the need for change.

Do2dtun’s efforts to raise awareness
Do2dtun’s outspokenness on the issue has brought much-needed attention to the plight of unpaid media workers, and it is hoped that this will lead to positive changes in the industry.

As more people join the conversation, the call for fair pay and better treatment of workers in the entertainment industry continues to grow.
