I Said What I Said

This week we have with us Dorathy Bachor, the first runner up of the recently concluded Big Brother Nigeria reality TV show. We chopped it up about her life before and after the show, what she’s up to next and her plans for the future! We also spoke about body image, online bullying, dating and making friends! Dorathy is an absolute blast and we had the best time together! Listen and enjoy!

A Midas Radio Production

Today we are joined by the fantastic Alma, a content creator and friend of the podcast living and working in Canada. We discuss how she moved to Canada, job hunting, making friends and dating once you’ve gotten to Canada in Jesus name! Enjoy.

In this episode, we answer some of your questions! Hundreds of you amazing listeners sent in questions and though we could not answer all of them, we valiantly tried our best (and had a good time) to find the questions we answered justice; from what we like about each other to dealing with disappointment. 

Enjoy!

This week we have musician, Made Kuti, son of Femi Kuti, grandson of Fela Kuti and great grandson of Funmilayo Ransome Kuti! We chop it up about legacy, growing up a Kuti and his love of music (he plays about 5 instruments and is a classically trained composer). It was a really fun conversation! Make sure you stream and download Made’s new single “Free your mind” available on apple, Spotify, YouTube and everywhere else music can be found!

This week we have the super talented Justin Irabor in the studio to talk about all (well most) of the jobs he has had since he started working at the age of 13. We then move to the topic of black tax, and what it’s like to be a provider in the family as well. We discuss what that does to relationships with siblings, parents, romantic relationships and how he sees money. To find out more about Justin and all the amazing work he is doing, follow him on Twitter @thevunderkind. 

Last week Tuesday, the unimaginable happened. While peaceful protesters sat on the ground at Lekki toll gate, waving Nigerian flags and singing the national anthem, military men opened fire on them, killing and hurting a number of people. What followed were 2 days of widespread mayhem in Lagos with looting and attacks on private and public businesses in the city. It was a terrifying and unbelievably sad time. Since then there has been a lot of misinformation and confusion, and many many many questions. We don’t have all the answers, and actually have more questions, but we dey for you. We discuss our heartbreak over what happened at the Lekki toll gate, present more questions and what we think happens next. Stay strong everyone! We move still. 

#EndSars

Hello guys! New week new episode as usual. Before we talk about this episode it’s important that we mentioned that the protest to #EndSARS is still going on all around Nigeria and we want to encourage and implore people to stay peaceful while protesting. We must put an end to police brutality in Nigeria.

This weeks episode features the amazing Tolani Baj; a contest of the just concluded big brother Naija lockdown season. We talk about her childhood, being Nigerian American, her time in the Big Brother house and her future plans. Tolani is a complete vibe and we hope you enjoy the podcast!

Over the last few days, there have been a series of protests, against the extrajudicial brutality of the Nigerian police, particularly  the “Special Anti Robbery Squad”, a brutal and blood thirsty unit who have used their state sanctioned powers to kidnap, abuse, sexually assault, rob and harass Nigerians for many years with no consequences. No more 

In this special episode we speak to Falz, a rapper (and lawyer) who has a passion for social justice issues. 

It was a pretty emotional episode but as usual we let these jokes fly. You will notice that FK is not as prominent in the episode and that’s because while we were recording she was lobbying for the release of wrongly arrested protestors, raising and sending money and medical supplies to protesters across the country , a true queen . 

Please make sure you play a part in supporting. From social media amplification, to donating, to physically protesting. This is a once in a generation opportunity to do the right thing. Do the right thing

New week, new episode!

We’re sure every single person listening has gotten at least one fraudulent email or has had attempted fraudulent activity happen with their emails or bank accounts. Today, we have partnered with monisense to talk all about financial fraud. Every year, just over 5.2 TRILLION  dollars are lost to fraud globally. Many individual lives and businesses are ruined and take many years, if ever, to recuperate. This episode hopes to help all our listeners “jazz up” and know what pitfalls to avoid in order to avoid as much as possible, being a victim.

We have two guests; Idong who had her business accounts wiped out by fraudsters, and Jasper, a “former” fraudster. As Idong tells us her study, Jasper explains what’s happening on the fraudsters end, and answers a number of other questions around his choice of occupation. It is a pretty informative episode.

What do you know about “special package”? 

This week, we talk to Tobi Kukoyi, the founder of Mydysiac about Kayan Mata. She breaks down the origins, contents and misconceptions around Kayan mata. We discuss whether or not it has spiritual implications (so basically is it voodoo?”), desirability politics and why it is marketed so heavily to women. We also delve into the sexual enhancements market in Nigeria and how men are VERY invested in their sex game. It was an absolutely hilarious and honest conversation. You can find our guest @mydysiac on all socials everywhere. She would absolutely LOVE to hear from you guys.
