    I am just 20 years old, but I ask myself sometimes if I am going to live long - Khaid |#WithChude

    “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 a long time after life-threatening internal bleeding. Those dramatic photos in the hospital weren’t a stunt. It wasn’t content. This young man - one of fastest rising music stars in the country today - almost died. Khaid’s life has been shaped by pain, tension, and then deep reflection. He tells me first about life as a mechanic and how he quit that job due to hints of intimate abuse from his mentor. He talks about his battle against depression. And then for the first time ever, he opens up about the conflicts he’s faced in the hood, even showing me the scars. He recounts the harrowing moment—being hospitalized while someone broke into his car downstairs. For his safety, he had to continue his treatment at home. But Khaid tells me he’s not afraid of death, and that his new faith (he left Islam for Christianity a few years ago) assures him of a full life. I ask him, if his life continues to be in danger - why does he continue to visit the hood that makes it so? Why can’t he leave his old life behind with all the money and fame he has accomplished? You have to watch to understand why this brilliant, talented young man - one of the deepest, wisest teenagers I ever sat with - is haunted by the ghosts of his past. Watch the full conversation right on WithChude.com. And I’d like to know what you think in the comment. 🙏🏿 — Be a part of Africa’s biggest talk concert on Sunday, April 27, 2025. #WithChudeLive - with Chimamanda Adichie, Pastor Jerry Eze, Funke Akindele, Falz and Bovi Ugboma!

    Chimezie Imo sits #WithChude

    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 declared, “I want to be an actor.” From that moment on, he never looked back— even through the many times he almost gave up, and the many times industry has disrespected him, He opens up about the years squatting with a family member in FESTAC because he couldn’t afford rent, the directors who have tried to black list him, the insecurities that have tormented him, and the movie crew member who told him to bleach his skin. I have known Chimezie from his first tentative days in this industry - I have witnessed the pain and the doubt, the push and the climb, and to see his sweet success today is to see a man who has earned everything accolade he has received. Today, he finally shares that story in public with me. And it’s a story that will inspire you deeply. Watch the full conversation right now on WithChude. Then tell me what you think in the comments. ❤

    “I couldn’t even pay rent as an actor, and I wanted to move abroad” — Chimezie Imo |#WithChude

    Stephanie Busari sits #WithChude

    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 tribulations. She lost her mother in 2022 - rushing to London to watch her slowly fade away. Her brother was trapped in a building collapse in Lagos—a tragedy she was reporting for CNN, not knowing he was trapped within. She opens up about finding love again ten years after her divorce, why the Chibok story consumed her, and how the resilience of Nigerians continues to inspire her every day. She also shares her hopes that people will connect with the stories of extraordinary women in her book—and why, after 16 years, she decided to leave CNN. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. ❤

    “Pastors are human! They should stop guaranteeing things even Jesus wouldn’t promise” – Wale Adenuga

    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 everything - and what he thinks about Nigerians changing the lyrics from ‘when trouble comes my way’ to ‘when success comes my way, I will praise the Lord.” He tells me why he resigned as a pastor - and what he thinks about he promises many pastors make that Jesus wouldn’t make. He also tells me about ‘Worship 4 Change’ where he has over the past 15 years raised hundreds of millions of naira for orphans, widows, the homeless and more across several states off Nigeria. Pastor Wale is one of the best human beings I know and it’s a delight to have him share his wisdom with us today. Watch the full conversation now on withChude.com, with a 15-minute cut available on YouTube today - search for ‘With Chude’. Share your thoughts in the comment section. ❤
