Happy birthday to IK.

Meanwhile, after 18 years as establishing himself as one of the most famous voices on Lagos radio, IK Osakioduwa months ago announced that he will be leaving Rhythm 93.7.

He made this known on Saturday, March 2, 2019 on his Instagram account.

“So I have decided guys, after 18 years of working for Silverbird, that it is time to hang up my boots… My silverbird boots and let someone else fill those shoes so I am moving on from working on Rhythm 93.7 but we will go out with a bang alright.

“There is no beef. I still love the company. I gotta say thank you to Ben Bruce for allowing me to grow and flourish under his tutelage.”

Hey guys here’s a big announcement from me. Bigger things pop after big things stop. pic.twitter.com/QeKYDDHPCm

IK was born in Lagos, Nigeria to homemaker Felicia Oviawe and Brigadier General Samuel Oviawe, he is the middle child of five children.

He graduated from King’s College, Lagos and then studied Economics at the University of Lagos. While studying he took part in many stage plays and concerts, where he discovered and groomed his talent as a Master of Ceremonies/Host. After graduating from University in 2001, Osakioduwa worked for Rhythm 93.7 FM, as a presenter popularly known as The Wild Child (thanks to his humorous and unpredictable personality).

However, in compliance with the National Youth Service Corps, which is a one-year mandatory service of all graduate Nigerians, he had to leave the radio station to serve in a neighbouring state. He also worked in an advertising firm as a Client Service Executive, and in 2005 he returned to the radio station, Rhythm 93.7, and retained the name The Wild Child.
