The moment you stop performing for the world, the world finally begins to pay attention.
Stop trying to tell African stories to the world. Tell African stories to Africans. Let us build the canon here, and the world will subtitle us.

If you say it’s because Nigerians are not deep enough to understand your film that is why you’re not making money, edakun are you deeper than Kemi Adetiba, Jade Osiberu or Blessing Uzzi?

“Many people are not miserable because they have failed. They are miserable because they succeeded at constructing a life that does not fit them - and they do not know that they can choose a different kind of life.”

In 2010, a mentor told me, “Chude, piss for one place, so that e go foam.”

I’ve only ever worked in media. Today, I’ve built one of Africa’s largest privately-owned media conglomerates.

On that stage, I said:
“I am not Bloomberg.
“I am not NBC.
“I am not CNN.
“I am Chude.”
You are doing life, #WithChude.https://t.co/QfvM7vjyFV

[Chude Jideonwo @Chude]

I went on stage at Bloomberg and chose to be fully human—emotional, vulnerable, warm and honest. The response reminded me that authenticity still connects, across continents and platforms. #WithChude #MadeForAfrica

She doesn’t know Peller. She doesn’t agree with Big Brother. Nomy chose to tell her story on one show: mine. She reminded me that we remain worthy of love, even when rejected. Read full piece on Substack: https://t.co/xo1cGnNoox
