If you’re a regular radio listener, you may have noticed that [url=http://Olisa Adibua’s voice no longer comes up in the evenings]Olisa Adibua’s voice no longer comes up in the evenings[/url], on Cool FM’s popular ‘road show’. Olisa, a respected on-air personality and showbiz buff, is allegedly no longer in the station’s employ. And sources say he didn’t resign his appointment.

A source at the Lagos-based station told Glitz Beats Olisa, who’s been with the station since inception on October 1, 1998, was sacked by MD Amin Moussalli after his failure to attend a mandatory Saturday meeting on June 28.
‘Olisa worked the night before’, said the source, ‘at Naeto C’s album launch. I guess he was too tired to make the meeting’.
Olisa was the anchor of the ‘road show’ - a Monday to Friday evening programme designed to keep listeners’ company as they drive home from work. He also anchors the MTN-sponsored Top 10 Jams. Olisa has also anchored the TV version of MTN Top 10, the Big Brother Nigeria (alongside Michelle Dede); and early this year, he was inducted into the HipHopWorld awards Hall of Fame.
Inside sources who spoke on condition of anonimity confirmed the sack, insisting it was regular for the station’s owners to sack workers indiscriminately, and then call them back after the heat has simmered.
Olisa was called back, they claimed. But obviously infuriated, he declined. Those close to him say he is not returning to the station; and may be considering suing his former employers.
It is uncertain whether talks are on between both parties to resolve the situation.
However, in a telephone conversation with Glitz Beats, Olisa denied being fired or resigning from Cool FM. ‘You may not hear my voice on the Road Show but you’ll definitely still hear me on other shows. That’s because I’m on leave. There’s absolutely no problems at all’
[s] He has not resigned. The company is going through a restructuring so there’s bound to be a lot of reorganisation. But the fact that you no longer hear a person’s voice on radio doesn’t mean he has left the station[/s]’.

Cool FM is owned by the Moussalli family. In 10 years, they’ve been able to establish the company as one of Nigeria’s top FM stations, and the business has expanded to incorporate Cool Café and Chocolate Royal.
But it appears Olisa and Ubosi’s departure has not sunk in with the owners. A check through their website last Wednesday still portrays Olisa as an OAP with the station, while Ubosi is advertised as the Director of Operations.

Hip Tv confirms that Cool Fm has recently employed an American to their 'database'. The dude is said to be a pioneer broadcaster of the station when it was set up but left later.


Now, he joins Dan foster to become the 2nd American on cool fm.

Gbemi is presently on vacation,maybe olisa is too.

but who will blame olisa hes a co owner of storm records,the label that has naeto c etc,

hes got other businesses to handle. and the new american is not actaually new per say
