“I spent 40,000 dollars on IVF only to lose the baby. I wanted to die!”

“I had a couple of miscarriages and I got a surrogate, I was tired of trying.”

Where else would you hear these kinds of truths about ‘infertility’? These kinds of deep vulnerability and authenticity and raw, unfiltered honesty?

This special episode to help men and women struggling with having kids is now up on withChude.com.  

These guests...

“I ask myself sometimes if I am going to live long… whenever God decides that I am going to die, I am going to die and I am cool with that.”

This is a 19-year-old talking.

It’s the Afrobeats star, Khaid - who was signed by content creator, Sidney Talker in 2022.

For the first time ever, he speaks (even if with a lot of fear) about the gang war in his hood that almost killed him last year and left him in the hospital for ...

Everyone loves Chimezie Imo. A love cemented after Breath of Life and the

AMVCA Trailblazer of 2024 prize that everyone was rooting for him for … after he wasn’t nominated for any of the prizes at all.

But Chimezie tells me he doesn’t care about these accolades—he just wants to act and make money. He recalls how his first acting role as a child left an entire room in tears at his RCCG parish in Abuja. He ran to his mom and decl...

One of the most powerful women in African media shares her story with me today.

This is the woman who broke major Chibok stories, amplifying it to the world via CNN, and has since continued to give life to countless stories—including EndSARS and many more.

But Stephanie Busari tells me her life hasn’t been all rosy.

Yes, she has won every highly coveted journalism award, including an Emmy, but she has also faced immense ...

The powerful, viral-before-the-internet praise song ‘Today’ came from a place of pain and hurt and tribulations - and the singer, Pastor Wale Adenuga tells me the story today. 

He is the singer of hits songs including - 

— Olowogbogboro with Nathaniel Bassey 

— You alone are worthy, Lord 

— Lord because of me 

And many others. 

He tells me how he learnt to have faith in God even when he lost ever...

Is Babangida a Bad Man?

I spoke with one of Nollywood’s most critically acclaimed producers—known for hits like Mirror Boy, Last Flight to Abuja, and Badamasi—about Nigerian’s former head of state Ibrahim Babangida, and he insists Babangida is a good man.

Born in 1985 when IBB took over office, I’ve long held a grudge against Babangida, the man who annulled Nigeria’s most peaceful election, “democratized corruption” and order...

“Anywhere my ex-husband saw me he would beat me.

“He beat me so much, I became an alcoholic - but I couldn’t leave because of the shame that people will say I couldn’t keep a man.”

For the first time on TV, veteran actor Ayo Adesanya - who was so big she was already lead star on Most Wanted, where Genevieve had her first minor role - finally speaks in detail about her abusive relationship that made her leave the industry for ...

This was an incredible honour.

To have the legendary newscaster and TV host, Cyril Stober sit down to interview me for my celebration of 25 years in the media, and my 40th birthday. 

I have worked in the media since I was 15 - from my first job on the NTA - and in this conversation we go deep into a career across print, radio, online, film and television; working from the NTA to MBI to Channels TV, and from TEMPO Magazin...

After his contract with Naira Marley’s label expired in 2022, Fabian Blu disappeared from the public space after releasing four singles under Marlian Records. 

He is speaking for the first time to the media about his time at the label and royalties over the past five years that he says he is owed. He says he has not been paid a penny and when he threatened to sue them to court, Naira Marley laughed in his face. 

He ...

For the very first time, Mohbad’s wife Omowunmi Aloba is granting an interview. 

She says the bullying her husband suffered, her son Liam is now suffering it. 

From Naira Marley to her father-in-law. She speaks of death threats and attempted poison. 

She also fully explains why the DNA test has not been done to verify the father of her child. 

Today. 5pm. YouTube.

After the release of the monster hit ‘Caro’ with Wizkid, L.A.X (Damilola Afolabi) became a huge star. And he was only 18.

He tells me the story of how he got that big break, how Wizkid changed his life… and why everything slowed down because his parents insisted he finish school and does his NYSC. 

Whatever that may have done to his momentum, he says he has no regrets. Returning to Nigeria, growing up with his grandmothe...
