Former NTV host popularly known as Dr. King’ori has made a comeback after announcing his exit from Nation Media Group more than a month ago.
King’ori who was known for his satirical show The Wicked Edition, made the comeback by dropping an exclusive video interview on his YouTube Channel on February 21, 2024.
The 1hr 31 minutes video interview was posted on his ‘The Wicked Edition with Dr.King’ori’ channel which boasts about 439,000 subscribers.
King’ori featured a military official in the interview as he navigated a Military General’s perspective of war.
“Dr. King’ori sits with Ambassador Brigadier general Dr. Wallace W. Williams, the honorary consul general for the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda to the federal republic of Nigeria, a military officer attaining the rank of Brigadier general for this interesting conversation that weaves through the world of a diplomat and probably the best explanation to the single parents’ boom,” posted the host.
Dr. King’ori leaves NTV
While hosting his last show on Friday, January 12, Kingo’ri announced that The Wicked Edition would end its seven-year run through NTV’s mainstream.
However, the popular host stated that the end of the show was not a result of the station cutting off some of its editorial shows.
