Olajumoke Orisaguna, the model better known as Olajumoke Onibread, has launched her talk show titled ‘Kilon Shele’.

The former bread seller turned model joined City FM as a radio presenter following a long hiatus from the spotlight.

Speaking at a news conference in Lagos on Wednesday, Orisaguna expressed gratitude to TY Bello, the renowned photographer who played a pivotal role in her rise to fame in 2016.

The model expressed willingness to return to school, adding that she encountered challenges due to her lack of formal education.

She disclosed that her radio show will focus on her personal story, including her experiences with exploitative managers who took advantage of her lack of education.

The former model said she will also address the emotional struggles she faced during her time away from the public eye and her path to self-discovery and empowerment.

The show will also feature inspiring conversations with guests who have faced similar challenges.

“I want to use my platform to share my story, the good and the bad. I want to show that even in the darkest moments, there is hope for a better tomorrow,” she said.

“My show will be a beacon of inspiration for those who have faced similar struggles.”

Olajumoke revealed mistakes that damaged relationships with benefactors.

“I have suffered a lot,” she said. “But I thank Azuka and TY Bello for not giving up on me. My advice to those coming behind me is to work hard and never bite the finger that feeds them. I made many mistakes, but I’ve learned my lessons and want others to learn from my story.”
