| I sold Okrika after losing my job, then COVID hit just as it picked up—I got depressed – Jay-Onair | 16 Jul 2025 | 00:12:59 | |
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. Business was just picking up, then COVID hit. And it all came crashing down again. It was in the middle of that silence, that stillness, that he picked up his phone… and started playing on TikTok. Today, he’s one of the biggest and most loved content creators in West Africa. But what I love most is how deeply he’s grown. He told me there was a time he wasn’t a good person, not a good friend, not kind, not humble. And how he had to call himself out and do the work. We talk about growth. Purpose. Success. And what it really means to be seen and loved, publicly and privately. This is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve heard. And one of the sweetest humans I’ve ever met. Jay On Air — like you’ve never seen him before. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| “My mum died 2 weeks before ‘No Turning Back’ blew up—she left me a special voicenote.”-Gaise Baba | 12 Jul 2025 | 00:12:45 | |
“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 decade, — Funto to tell him “No, you have to keep going”. Last year, the prophecies began to come left, right and center that an explosion was coming for him - but by then he had already learnt not to doubt God’s word for his life. Two weeks before ‘No Turning Back’ became a global viral hit, his mother passed. She called him just before she passed and told him he was a special son, and assured him that his mission was about about to take over the world. He says his mother went to heaven and told the angels to ‘get moving’ on his destiny. It’s an incredible story, it’s a heartwarming story, it’s an inspiring story of what it means to hold on to your vision for as long as it takes, no matter what. Even if things are not yet going the way you want. Gaise Baba, on an Elijah level. #WithChude, today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| My ex rejected me, I came back to Nigeria and proposed to my wife- Daniel Etim-Effiong |#WithChude | 31 May 2025 | 00:08:14 | |
“My father was jailed when I was one years old, my mother died in an accident on her way to visit him in prison when I was 4” I spoke with one of Nigeria’s finest actors, and he shared stories from his life that have deeply shaped him—how he loves, how he shows up for the people he cares about, and what motivates him to work. This episode peels off layers beyond the fine actor who is loved in all his films. He shares stories of hurt and injustice his family has faced and why he is very inspired to fight injustice and tell stories. He tells me the reason he married his wife, and why he would advice everyone to marry. He tells me about that time he was falsely accused of being a cult member in university and that event that made him depressed after he was expelled helped him find acting and he’s grateful for that.

| I was told I’d never conceive naturally-then my miracle baby beat cancer at 18 months -Hilda Dickson |#WithChude | 21 May 2025 | 00:12:57 | |
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 they said wouldn’t come. The one they said wouldn’t stay. And yet, here she is. Still standing. Still smiling. Still fighting. With her mother, Hilda Dickson—who never gave up, even when everything said she should. We sit with a testimony. A miracle. A warrior.

| “I lost my music deal, got scammed heavily, lost my girlfriend” - Chinko Ekun’s painful confession #WithChude | 17 May 2025 | 00:12:53 | |
“I threatened God, and something told me to jump into the water instead of threatening Him.” Popular hit song "Able God" singer, Chinko Ekun—once signed under Olamide’s record label— shares with me how he lost it all. He talks about having one of the biggest hits in Nigerian music history with Able God, and how he never imagined it would blow the way it did. A few years later, the fame turned quiet, and everything around him fell apart. He moved from a Lagos-based label to a Dubai-based one, searching for a fresh start. But instead of breakthrough, he lost the deal, his money to an investment scam, and his relationship. He talks about how he threatened God at the beach, he said “if you don’t do something, I will bow to another god” and a voice told him to jump into the water instead. From chart-topping glory to silent heartbreak, from threatening God to rediscovering hope. This is a beautiful interview with Chinko Ekun we have never seen him before. And today, he shares how he’s fine despite the loss.
