My uncle raped me and I couldn’t tell my mom - Toyin Lawani, Elvina Ibru and others on sexual abuse 12:54

3d ago12:54

12:54

These are not just stories. They are testaments. From people who have lived through it. And survived. One lost her innocence to someone in the same house. One tried to run but was pulled back by her braids. One got pregnant and was taken to Ibadan for an abortion at five months. One was told to stay quiet because “things like this happen.” One was …

“People wanted me to say my husband banned me from acting but that wasn’t what happened” - Ego Boyo 12:57

6d ago12:57

12:57

Gen Zs may not know, but in the ‘90s, she was the moment, starring alongside RMD and lighting up every screen she graced. But then, she walked away from acting. Why? “It was boring,” she told me. And so, she pivoted, and made history behind the scenes instead. She produced Keeping the Faith, the film that introduced Genevieve Nnaji to the world. Sh…

10d ago12:58

12:58

He’s one of the most phenomenal actors of this new generation. Brilliant. Sharp. Deep. I’ve been a fan since Ajoche, and for the past 3–5 years I’ve watched him pour himself into every role, with intention, with grit, and with incredible range. The world finally caught up with him when he lit up the screen in Kemi Adetiba’s blockbuster, and since t…

20d ago12:59

12:59

Everyone’s fave is my guest today, Jay On Air. But before the millions of views and the hosting gigs, he was just a young man trying to find his way. In 2020, he sent a message asking to intern on this show. He had just lost his radio job, couldn’t find another, and was battling depression. He tried PR, PA work, even started selling okrika. Busines…

24d ago12:45

12:45

“NO TURNING BACK!” Just five years ago, after 13 years professionally as a singer and 3 years after he got a word from God, Gaise Baba wanted to quit music. He went to his mentor and said “I can’t do this anymore like this, I am going to get a corporate job”. Then God found a way to reach him. God sent his incredibly supportive wife of about a deca…

I had to do speech therapy to undo the result of my difficult upbringing caused by my uncle - Saka 12:47

27d ago12:47

12:47

He is one of Nigeria’s most recognisable faces. The laughter, the energy, the viral “I don port o” ad that shifted culture. But behind the comedy is a man who has lived many lives. In this moving conversation, Afeez Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, lets us into the parts of his story we don’t always see. He tells us about his growing up how his un…

The “Back in Office” Episode 1:39:58

1:39:58

We are back in office! Regrettably so, because the Paris & Ibiza feels are still on our minds.

President Tinubu is who God provided to be my biggest supporter in this treacherous world - Daniel Bwala 12:37

1M ago12:37

12:37

Daniel Bwala once called him President-select. Today, he is the official spokesperson to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. How does that happen? He told me plainly: “The number one rule of opposition is to oppose." And so, when he was with Atiku, that’s exactly what he did. But he never called Tinubu a drug lord or a drug pusher. “Never,” he said. Now, …

I regret living abroad because I left my mom behind and she died while I was away – Emmy Collins 12:57

1M ago12:57

12:57

Some people carried too much truth for the world to hold at the time. Too bold. Too different. Too honest. Emmy Collins was one of them. If you’re Gen Z, you may not know him. But there was a time he lit up Nigeria’s fashion scene, not just with colour but with conviction. In this conversation, he talks about leaving Nigeria in 2014, calling out pu…

I did not grow up close to my dad and that made me emotionally detached - Mike Afolarin 15:10

2M ago15:10

15:10

Mike Afolarin became famous for a role. But what he shared with me on set may be the most powerful thing he has ever done. He said many actors are suffering and smiling. Even though Far From Home made him a breakout star, the weight he carries behind the scenes is softer, sadder, and far more complex. He found photography through heartbreak. Work b…

She’s 73. A Nigerian woman. A fighter in every sense of the word. Rosalind Umar didn’t go looking for fame — but somehow, fame found her. And now the internet can’t get enough of her. In her words: “I’m not the stereotypical woman that the average man want to marry. I box. I do martial arts. And I hate the word ‘submissive.’” She speaks with unfilt…

I was told I’d never conceive naturally-then my miracle baby beat cancer at 18 months -Hilda Dickson |#WithChude 12:57

3M ago12:57

12:57

What does it mean… to be told you will never have children? To pray, to hope, to fight—and then, finally, to hold the miracle in your hands. And then—less than 21 months later—they tell you she has cancer. Aggressive. Spreading fast. But this is not a story of death. This is the story of survival. The miracle baby they said was impossible. The one …
