The popular Cool Fm host announced his decision in a post on his Instagram page. He wrote, "20 years on radio.

It's time to say Goodbye.
My Next post will be posted with shaky hands.

"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 about radio. I was this kid with fear, doubtful but my hands were held by one of my most selfless colleagues ever from Dan Foster (RIP) "AUNTY B" @daddyfreeze @mannieessien @estheroyegue @tallestmessiah (my guy and mesuyah partner 😂) @ruccibella @olisaadibua… you were the first set of guys that gave me the little light to grow after GOD.

"Radio was nothing that took you to the bank but it gave me the life to put everyone on & it’s sad sometimes when your flowers are trampled on those by few who want to be victims to their fans or who will never tell the truth. It didn’t deter me cos creating shows like “cool Nigerian vibe” “Superstar Wednesday” “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 it’s a lot. It was a rollercoaster of the good, the bad, the awesome and the ugly. From being a midnight studio rat to primetime radio was all God’s work. If I had made you take “Mass communication as a course” it was intentional. It’s a serious career. It might have lost its essence but Radio is still one of the best things to happen to me. I interviewed the best of the best, the hopeful; the hopeless, the least considered; the next on the block and the believers.

God gave me this platform to “PUT EVERYONE ON AND I MEAN EVERYONE YOU SEE NOW” no cap!… the fans that never stopped calling me till date and my amazing co anchors through the years @taymib (temilistic temi) Steph noni @stephaniecoker .. kekere ekun @kemismallzz .. @evebankong my Therapist…😂 Kaylo @kaylahoniwo you made an amazing peer. I feel I’ll leave my deepest part of my journey to my book in works “DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE” coming soon!!!

I want to thank these guys @sergenoujaim @tatianaykk @evimousse @fineboy_racing @femicoolfm & Amin Moussalli for letting this man shine through ur platform & your leadership. My name in GOLD 🌟
