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, he says, “Atiku would have made a great president if he had won. But would he have been better than Asiwaju? I doubt it.”

He also talked about Peter Obi as a patriotic citizen but who may also be seen as an opportunist politician.

We also talked about how the president feel about the complains of every day Nigerian over the state of the economy.

Sharp. Audacious. Unapologetic.

This is Daniel Bwala, like you’ve never seen him before.

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 public figures, and what he’s learned since.

That even when you don’t mean to hurt, words can still cut.

He talks masculinity, fashion, sexuality and why denying the labels people throw at him would make him a hypocrite.

He tells us about love,regret, fatherhood, and becoming a quieter, fuller version of himself.

Raw. Unfiltered. Vulnerable.

This is Emmy Collins like you’ve never seen before.

This Black American man, David Mounds connected with over 15 Nigerian creators on TikTok - including some married women - charmed them, promised them marriage or passports, and proceeded to scam them at the same time.

The victims include the late Mr Ibu’s daughter, Jasmine.

He promised them marriage and children while he was on the run from the law in America, and had done a vasectomy that ensured he could never have children.

It’s a shocking story of broken hearts, shattered dreams, and destroyed lives.

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 became a way to outrun the pain. One day, he picked up a camera — and that became his healing.

He said the women in his life often call him emotionally detached.

And right there on set, it clicked.

Maybe it wasn’t just about heartbreak. Maybe it began with an absent father.

He became the emotional rock for his mother. Somewhere along the way, he forgot how to let others hold him too.

He is open to reconciliation. But his father has not reached out.

Still, he says everyone needs a father’s love. Not having it made him grow up fast.

It shaped his heart. His relationships. His silence.

This is Mike Afolarin like you have never seen him before.

“You need to forgive God.”

In this episode, my guests opened up about faith, pain, and the complicated relationship many people have with religion.

They shared what it’s like to grow up loving a God you’re told to fear—a God who feels so far away when life hits hard.

From the sting of loss, to the scars of abuse, to the heavy weight of grief, they opened up about wrestling with a God who didn’t seem to show up when they needed Him most.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a conversation that’ll make you think deeply and see God in a way that's beyond what you have been taught.

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 unfiltered truth about life, about aging, about marriage, and about battling a degenerative disease that no amount of gym time, swimming, or exercise could stop — until surgery became her only option.

But even in pain, she laughs. She speaks. She lives fully.

This is not just a viral moment. It’s a woman reclaiming her story. And it’s one of the most powerful conversations I’ve had.

“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.

This episode is deep, raw, honest and exciting and is now up on withChude.com
