Sun, 17 Mar 2024 - 09min - 88 - That Time Roqzee Sang
Spent all night composing my very own podcast intros. Use headphones. Don’t hate the player. Record labels need to sign me before I become too expensive.
Mon, 11 Mar 2024 - 01min - 87 - We Can’t Normalize Kidnapping Children
How is there no outrage for the children that have been kidnapped this past week? Are Nigerians now numb to trauma as a coping mechanism? So we think everything is politics? Have we lost our humanity?

Fri, 21 Jul 2023 - 09min - 72 - You're the CEO, so what?
Many young people have fallen for the glamourized stereotype of an autocratic CEO. They have watched too many movies and think all it takes is to boss people around. This is to highlight the responsibility that comes with it and the need for humility to course correct.

There’s this entitlement to parental support that is pervasive in people born in the 2000’s where they have zero empathy for their parents struggle to provide for them. It’s very different from 80’s kids who always felt that everything the parents did for them was a favour and undeserved. Where do you fall under?

Thu, 29 Dec 2022 - 08min - 52 - Affirmation vs Prayer
There’s a place for each one but they must not be confused as the same thing. Hyping yourself up cannot have the same effect as asking God to intervene. It’s the same difference between children pointing to things they want without asking properly with please and thank you. There’s an age you let it pass and an age you won’t. Doesn’t mean the child can’t do what they like, but it can determine if they will get you to oblige.

Resist the Christmas marketing hype. You can do without that extra new dress and you will survive if you don’t go for that concert. If the trends continue, you will need a lot more money and face a higher cost of living in the new year. Let’s be rational. Or just ignore me and say YOLO ✌️

Sun, 17 Jul 2022 - 03min - 40 - …But Can I Justify This?
This draws from a teachable moment that proves you should not act believing that you will never be found out but rather, act in a way that you can justify WHEN (not if) it comes out.
Fri, 10 Jun 2022 - 08min - 39 - Improve Yourself To Free Yourself
No matter how well intended, nobody will give you enough knowledge to enable you challenge their control over you. Don’t celebrate crumbs when you deserve loaves of bread for the value you are bringing your said “mentors” and “superiors”. Get exposure and find your true self worth, because whether you do or you don’t, life keeps moving ahead and it is your own time being wasted.
Thu, 19 May 2022 - 10min - 38 - Do Women Still Deserve Chivalry?

Fri, 13 May 2022 - 08min - 37 - Jesus Was A Table Shaker
