Olajumoke Onibread Makes Comeback As Radio Presenter
The Cardinal Foundation, an initiative of Cardinal Broadcasting led by City FM’s Chief Executive, Mrs. Doja Allen, has intensified efforts to rehabilitate Olajumoke Orisaguna, the former bread seller whose life changed after a viral 2016 photoshoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah by photographer TY Bello.
At a press conference titled “The Comeback of Olajumoke (Oni Bredi),” Allen emphasized the foundation’s commitment to providing Olajumoke with tools and opportunities to rebuild her life.
These include resuming formal education and undergoing professional training at City Media Academy, where she will learn radio presentation, news production, and digital content creation.
Upon completing her training, Olajumoke will be employed at City 105.1 FM and host a new talk show, Kilon Shele, set to premiere this Saturday.
“We believe in second chances and the power of restoring lives. Olajumoke’s journey is a testament to resilience and grace, and we are determined to restore her dignity while inspiring others to chase their dreams,” Allen said.

At the event, Olajumoke reflected on the challenges she faced despite the fame and endorsement deals that followed her rise to prominence.
She expressed deep gratitude to individuals and organizations that supported her during her struggles.
“I thank Azuka Ogujiuba, who took me as her own child and stood by me, and TY Bello, who promised I wouldn’t return to selling bread.
“I also thank Adedoja Allen for her financial and emotional support and Stanbic IBTC for covering my children’s school fees.”
Azuka Ogujiuba, Chief Executive of Mediaroom Hub, alleged that Victoria Ekong took advantage of Olajumoke’s lack of experience, financially exploiting her, and pledged her commitment to helping Olajumoke recover from past exploitation.
