My guest today is Laide Bakare, an actress, author, and entrepreneur.
She opens up about the experiences that shaped her, from a marriage challenged by her financial independence, to the painful realities of fighting for custody of her children.
She also reflects on how a once-beautiful relationship with her former friend and colleague, Eniola Badmus, changed.
Through it all, she speaks candidly about motherhood, relationships, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
This is Laide Bakare, authentic, raw, and unfiltered.

Oprah at the front, Buffett at the back.
“Jideonwo’s influences offer another explanation for his unusual combination of storytelling, corporate ambition and management philosophy.”
On a personal level, he identifies Oprah Winfrey as the individual who has most profoundly influenced his worldview.
He says he has studied virtually every interview and profile he could find about the American media entrepreneur, including archival material retrieved through internet repositories.
He even describes himself as “Oprah’s first son.”
As his business interests matured, however, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger became increasingly important influences.
He began studying Berkshire Hathaway’s shareholder letters, annual meetings, corporate governance practices and capital allocation philosophy.
He also cites The Outsiders, a book examining executives who created substantial shareholder value through unconventional management decisions, and the writings of Jeff Bezos.
His admiration extends to Naspers, the South African company that evolved from a media business into a global technology investment group.
The common thread is his fascination with businesses that evolve beyond their original products and personalities.
For Jideonwo, the ultimate ambition is not simply to own more media companies. It is to create an African institution capable of identifying opportunities, allocating capital and allowing capable executives to build independently.”

The moment I saw the tears rolling down Meagan Good’s eyes, I knew we had hit on something truly real, deeply universal truth about what we do when we are hit bu great adversity, and how we survive and rebuild our identities.
People in the audience tell me they were tearing up along with her as Jonathan Majors shared his story.
It’s one of the most open-hearted interviews you’ve ever seen, before a live audience.
Thank you to the incredible pioneer Chioma Ude along with Theo Ukpaa, Jennifer Mairo and my brother Adebola for making this happen.

This was my speech to the global audience of deep-pocket donors, investors, changemakers and the movers and shakers of philantrophy to Africa last month in Capetown.
The energy in the room was electric.
The invitations to come share this message from Abidjan to California began to flood in literally immediately I came down the stage.
This message is urgent.
Africa needs Main Character Energy.

I sat down with the Afropolitan Podcast
Peter Obi has done more interviews than every Nigerian president since Babangida combined.
@Chude Jideonwo ran the numbers for a client.
"Peter Obi is the billboard."
It's also his weak spot. Every attack on him uses his own words.

The ability to speak English is not evidence of anybody’s worth. When our starting point is proving that we are as good as somebody else, we have already accepted that the other person is the standard. Full piece on LinkedIn and Substack: read.withchude.com withchude.substack.com/p/afr…

Tonight at AFRIFF, I sit down with Meagan Good Majors for a conversation about the moments that shape us, the identities we outgrow, and the courage it takes to begin again. This will be special. #MadeForAfrica
Fela ignored the rules, releasing 30-minute tracks when radio demanded 3–5 minutes. He sang for Africans. We loved it. That’s how it’s done. Read the full piece on LinkedIn and Substack: read.withchude.com.

Who is the real ‘olodo’ - the one who quickly realised those schools are actually scams and quickly starts building legal alternatives as a coder or creator, or the one who follows their societies’ insistence?

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.

You can scale beyond your local market or master its constraints. Tayo Aina took one path. Linda Ikeji represents the other.

We look at a successful person and ask, “What is this person doing that I can copy?” But the more useful question may be: “Who has this person become that gives power to what they do?”
