This episode is about a story where I attempted to be a prostitute, cam boy, olosho!  I failed woefully because, I think, maybe, it's not for me... Please, listen and share.

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD): easily self-diagnosable but often confused as just a an excuse to be lazy. ADHD affects more people than you can imagine and while you may want to think it’s a cool thing, it is not!

In this experimental episode, I am feeling excited and motivated! In conversation with Matthew Otor, we randomly (and casually) talked about social trends. The death sentence of the musician in Kano, the hate speech fine, abortion, feminism, rape accusation, and a little bit of music - Burna Boy’s Twice As Tall album, the part people are avoiding. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-Michael-faya/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-Michael-faya/support

In this Episode, I’m inspired by Daniel’s podcast on ‘Body Hgyiene as bad as shitty music?’ Solidly talking about how to take care of the most hidden part of your body! Daniel did a good job!

What is the price of a life? It was almost midnight and I had already made it up in my mind that I would wake up to a bad news. The phone would ring at about 7am and I would answer it, I would say ‘hello’ and would wait for the voice of a lady or a man (oh I pray it be a lady. There’s something about getting the blow from a woman), they’d say: ‘Chike, we did all we could, but she couldn’t make it. Your mother is dead.’ I would say thank you because I wouldn’t know what else to say. The line would go dead and I would start to cry. At the same time, I prayed for a miracle, anything, really, anything. In my drunken thoughts, I find myself in a deep sleep, a strange land and with strange creatures I haven’t seen in my twenty-seven years of living. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-Michael-faya/message

The concept of toxic masculinity is used in societal and media discussions of masculinity to refer to certain cultural norms that are associated with harm to society and to men themselves. While there is nothing wrong with owning to one's gender, traditional stereotypes of men as socially dominant may be okay some years ago, along with related traits such as misogyny and homophobia, these ideas are, however "toxic" due in part to their promotion of violence, including sexual assault and domestic violence. In this episode with Chinonso and Tega, we talk round about the ideas surrounding the concept of toxic masculinity. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-Michael-faya/message

In this episode, I am feeling really excited and grateful... We live in a time when we have a communal duty to receive and broadcast love. We must set aside our repeating arguments and get a handle on our destructive depressions, religious beliefs and personal opinion. In this podcast with Ismail, We talked about the differences (and similarities) in our different religions. Meeting with Ismail after a long time was very refreshing. A conversation about interfaith... misconceptions, rumours and truths addressed in one room! I felt like I didn’t do justice to this but I did try to answer honestly about questions on Christianity. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-Michael-faya/message

Based on a conversation/argument with some brothers and family members... Often time Christians are quick to point fingers at people based on how they present themselves... Should that be the case tho? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-Michael-faya/message

2020 is just a few hours away... It is normal for people to make New Year resolutions, most of which are forgotten or thrown off after a few days. Ever wondered why this is? Some persons swear to be more spiritual and others promise to eat less and on time. Some sound determined to save a reasonable amount of money every month. You would agree that there are people who go on to do these things, yet, for lots of us, these things can feel like unachievable goals. So you want all that good thing for next year?  Well this is all the resolution you need to make for 2020 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-Michael-faya/message

It has no doubt been a good year for Afro-music and Nigerian artists as we have seen more inclusions, recognitions and even a Grammy Award Nomination. However, there’s that down side to all the glamour. The international music scene is jumping on Nigerian artists and could it all be a marketing scheme or are they clearly seeing the “talent” that is in this part of the world... 2019 saw many inclusions to Nigerian artists with Burna Boy bagging a Grammy Nomination and also being featured on Beyoncé’s Lion King soundtrack “The Gift”, Alongside artists like Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, Tekno, and many other artistes.... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-Michael-faya/message

As always, the society will always throw the stone first at the woman. Following the recent viral video of the two Babcock University students, everyone has jumped on the video and taken out time to express their own opinions. A lot of people, however, threw more stones at the lady and ignored the guy who in my opinion gave nice strokes
