Nigerian on-air personality Dotun, also known as Do2dtun, has officially announced his departure from radio after an illustrious career spanning 20 years.
Dotun made this announcement to his fans and listeners through his Instagram page, where he shared heartfelt reflections on his journey as a media personality. From his humble beginnings as an intern at Cool FM Lagos in 2004 to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in Nigerian radio, Dotun has left an indelible mark on the industry.
He expressed his gratitude to a few legends who have been great support and also mentored him throughout his radio days.
Dotun appreciated Dan Foster, Olisa Adibua, and Daddy Freeze, for mentoring him during his early days.
He wrote on his page:
“This must be one of the hardest decisions I have made. I am fulfilled in my heart that I built a legacy. Oh, my sweet home @coolfmlagos accepted me Nov 1st 2004 as an intern, dusty; unprepared & knew absolutely nothing abt radio.
“I was this kid with fear, doubtful but by hands were held by one of my most selfless colleagues ever from Dan Foster (RIP)“AUNTY B” @daddyfreeze @mannieessien @estheroyegue @tallestmessiah (my guy and mezuzah partner 😂) @ruccibella @olisaadibua .. you were the first set of guys that gave me the little light to grow after GOD.
“Creating shows like “Cool Nigerian vibe” “Superstar Wednesday” and “Office Concert” gave radio a lift from just foreign music to 70% of Nigerian music and content. It was a win for us all.. I can’t even explain my journey cos its a lot. It was a rollercoaster of the good, the bad, the awesome, and the ugly.”
