Do2dtun expressed his concern and disbelief over the situation, questioning how his colleagues at Soundcity have managed to cope without receiving salaries for such an extended period.
“My friends and colleagues at Soundcity, how do you guys cope? No salary for 8 months? Mehn, that is crazy,” he wrote.
He went further to criticize the management of the station, stating that running a radio station without the ability to pay staff is unnecessary and unethical. “It’s not by force to open a radio station.
Reactions and Implications
Do2dtun’s revelation has sparked widespread reactions online, with fans and industry insiders sharing their opinions on the matter. Many commended the OAP for speaking out against unfair labour practices, while others called for Soundcity to address the allegations and resolve the situation promptly.
The claim also raises broader concerns about the working conditions faced by media professionals in Nigeria. Unpaid salaries have been a recurring issue in various industries, leaving many workers financially strained and demoralized.
For Soundcity, this public criticism could potentially damage its reputation. As one of Nigeria’s leading radio stations and music platforms, the station is widely recognized for promoting African music and entertainment. However, the allegations of neglecting staff welfare may cast a shadow on its image, prompting calls for accountability and transparency.
In Conclusion,
As the allegations against Soundcity continue to gain traction, all eyes are on the station’s management for a response. Whether they choose to address the issue publicly or resolve it internally, this situation reveals the growing demand for better labour practices in Nigeria’s work landscape. For now, Do2dtun’s bold stance has brought the conversation to the forefront, amplifying the voices of those who may have been suffering in silence.
