    My friends didn’t help me when I needed support early in my career but they are still my guys - Chike

    The Boo of the Booless is my guest today, and this is Chike like you have never heard him before. He tells me how he did not even know music would be his thing until after university. How he would just sing and disturb everybody around him. How the road here was tough. How he had to act for two years just to generate income. He talks about people calling him arrogant. Says he hears it a lot. About achieving so much success that his own mother once asked if he had joined a secret cult. We talk about money, and he says it plainly, “For me to be happy I need a lot of money. This is not even carnal. I like money. I want money” And when we talk about marriage, he does not flinch. Says he feels it is a stupid step, and that is his opinion. And it is the Boo of the Booless telling his truth.

    “I thought of slumping on the pitch and dying or quitting football at 17” – Rasheedat Ajibade

    From living in a room with 10 people in Mushin Idi- Araba to lifting trophies on the international stage and becoming a National VIP, Rasheedat Ajibade’s journey will break your heart and inspire you all at once. She tells me about growing up in a compound with over a hundred people. About washing toilets and bathrooms for money. About selling kunu and zobo just to get by. She played for FC Robo in Nigeria for 10 years without a salary. And then, at 17, she left for Norway. Sick. Injured. Lonely. That’s when she knew she was depressed. She says there were days she thought of giving it all up. Days she imagined collapsing on the pitch and never waking up. And then she smiles and tells me how, in the middle of all that darkness, her relationship with God got sweeter. How she began to see her life as bigger than her pain. How even her trophy could be a tool to inspire the next generation. We talk about survival. Faith. Purpose. And how even the deepest valleys can lead to the highest mountains. This is one of the most courageous stories I have ever heard. And one of the strongest spirits I have ever met.

    “People think polyamory is a sex pool, but it’s not” — Hermes & others on what it means

    Not everyone cheats. Some just choose to love more than one, openly, honestly, and without shame. Hermes lives in a polyamorous relationship with two women in different parts of the world. One of them, Blessing, has been with him for three years and chooses not to date anyone else. The other is in Germany. All three are aware of each other. They’ve had conversations together, not just about love but about how to make it all work. Tomisin tells me she sees people in polyamorous relationships and wonders how they manage it. She believes it takes a lot of time, effort, and emotional maturity. Hermes’ girlfriend tells me there is no such thing as forever with one person, at least not in the way we have been taught to expect it. Edwin adds that, growing up, he saw many women with boyfriends and sugar daddies who knew their roles in each other’s lives. And Hermes said something that stayed with me. He said, “Even the people that want monogamous relationships, how many of them are ready to take responsibility for that In this conversation, we open the door into a kind of love that challenges everything we have been told — and asks us, quietly but boldly, to question what it really means to choose someone.

    My mom left one night and didn’t come back until seven years later because things got hard - Hermes

    His mother woke up one morning and abandoned him, his father and siblings without a reason, he watched his father being slapped by touts right in front of him in the uncompleted building where they lived, as the man tried to navigate debilitating poverty with dignity and grace, and he survived multiple moments when his life could have been destroyed. Yet, Hermes Iyele is that rare human being who has looked deeply into the nature of life and being, and in the midst of hardship and broken dreams, found beauty and joy still. We talk about how he survived those dark days, how he fought his way through the slums, how he found his way into Big Brother and what it did to him, and we also explored his complex relationship with polyamory - one partner in Nigeria and another in Europe and what that has taught him about love and lust. I have spent a while trying to find the perfect time to share what I consider a transcendent, timeliness conversation, and I finally felt in my spirit that the time is here. Take my word for it. This one was pure light.

    My uncle raped me and I couldn’t tell my mom - Toyin Lawani, Elvina Ibru and others on sexual abuse

    These are not just stories. They are testaments. From people who have lived through it. And survived. One lost her innocence to someone in the same house. One tried to run but was pulled back by her braids. One got pregnant and was taken to Ibadan for an abortion at five months. One was told to stay quiet because “things like this happen.” One was asked by a nurse what she was wearing. One lost childhood friends because people believed she seduced her stepfather. They shared what it cost them. One said she would never sleep over at a poor man’s house again. One said she lost everything — her health, her education, her relationships and almost took her life. This week on WithChude, we hold space for their truth.
