Nollywood filmmaker, Funke Akindele, Falz, Kiekie, and other creative voices have shared their life stories on the Chude Live Conversation Show.
Speaking during the show on Sunday night, entrepreneur and storyteller, Chude Jideonwo, said the live conversation show was his debut of #WithChude Live.
According to Jideonwo, it is not just a talk show but a space where laughter, vulnerability, wisdom, and healing collide.
He said the show had created an atmosphere where people of all ages, especially young Nigerians, could sit in rooms filled with possibility and leave feeling seen, heard, and deeply moved.
Sharing her experience, Akindele said the show was all about humanity.
She added that the live show was for the audience to listen to celebrities on how they shared their stories, pains and joy.
“There was a video on social media that some women mocked me that I don’t have a husband.
“My God. I see all the insults on social media. I see all the posts that show how I left one husband for another one.
“I cried, cried, and cried. I just told myself, you need to speak to someone about this. You can’t continue like this.
“I told myself that I needed to speak, I reached out, and I started speaking. After then, I felt better. Things I couldn’t tell people out there. I spoke to my therapist and I was better.
“So, I want to advise you out there. It’s very important for you to speak up. You need it. You can’t take everything. I’m a very strong person now. I have that strength to face any challenges in life.
“After the whole blackmailing, I got tougher. I started putting the story about my life into writing, even though I almost lost it mentally, but I used the mockery to produce a film,” she said.
